4 days post op

[AmandaMichelle7589 0]

So I am 4 days post-op. Was in some pain those first few days and had to force down those Protein Shakes, but I am now starting to get an appetite. Did any one else try any Soups like Tomato or cream of mushroom (strained of course)? Or anything before their first post-op appointment? I know I am still suppose to be on Clear Liquids, but can't help but want to start trying some puree's. Nothing to crazy, because I know my stomach is still healing.

I am 2 weeks post op tomorrow and I was on clears for 4 days. Then onto creamed strained Soups, I have had Tomato as well. I was told that everything must go through a strainer at this point for a full 2 weeks. Then to pureed. Everyone plan is different.

I'm 3days, my surgeon cleared day 4-14 as a liquid strained diet. I can do Soups in addition to thin oatmeal, pudding, Jello, or grits. Also as long as I have the ability to sip through a straw he will allow it.

Everyone's plan is different. The misery of post op only lasts a little while in the grand scheme of things. Follow your surgeon's plan and don't veer from it. You trusted him/her enough to do surgery on you and forever change your internal anatomy so it's important to trust him now.
