How many days before Mushies...

[**lynn** 0]

I did Clear Liquids for 2 days post-op, then full liquids for one week, then was allowed to advance to pureed/soft foods, like scrambled eggs, oatmeal, puddings, yogurts for one week. I tolerated that well so I will be able to advance to all mushies for one week, then on to regular foods. Yay! I have not had any problems with any particular foods yet. The first week post-op, I really had no appetite at all. Hang in there!

I was allowed to start mushies on day 8, if I were starving, and after a test meal of a scrambled egg. If I could keep it down without any problems at all, I was cleared for mushies. I ate it, it was the best food I ever put into my mouth, so I proceeded on.:frown:
