I'm 3 weeks out and on purée/soft foods. I skipped the purée. And just eat soft foods. I only have one more week till I'm on regular whole foods. Seems like u all are on extremely extended liquid phases? I don't think I could have done it that long. I'm eating Beans and cheese, eggs, full Soups like chili, broccoli cheddar, and veggie Soup. I even minced up so me grilled shrimp on my birthday. All has been fine.

I was only on Clear Liquids 24 hours! Released home from the hospital on full liquids for 10-14 days as tolerated. And then purée/ soft foods for 10-14 days as tolerated. Then on to your normal foods. So within a month on reg lifetime diet.

I also had to keep a thorough food log for my 2 week post op and my surgeon went over it with me and it was all ok. It's kinda funny to see all the different ways they do things!

I was only on Clear liquids the day before surgery. I was sent home on full liquids and went from that to soft foods.

@#9grammy - It also sound like you are weighing yourself too frequently. You should weigh yourself no more than once a week. Personally I don't weigh myself at all It's too much extra stress to add to the mix. Instead I focus on getting in my Protein and Water and exercising regularly. I was last weighed on 11/3. I won't weigh myself again until I see the doctor in December.
