Food stage help

[Aribay1 198]

Okay so basically I feel like I am 100% ready for soft food stage.

Now on thanksgiving I will be 4 weeks post op so I feel like . Maybe I'm just saying that so I can eat some turkey lol. But obviously no breads or Pasta or stuff.

Are all the stages different for everyone?

My soft food stage is on week 5.

My soft food stage is at 5 weeks too. My NUT told me that I can have turkey that is very very moist and can add broth or low fat gravy to help with the moistness. Also, I can have mashed potatoes, soft mashed carrots, and green bean casserole if I picked the crunchy fried onions off. My surgery date was 11/4/14.

I do mashed potato now so that's not a problem but besides thanksgiving I just want to move on lol. 14 I can only eat so much mashed potatoes and beans!

I was 10/30/14

I bet! I am only a few days into the mashed/pureed phase. I don't think I could survive this phase without the baked ricotta... it is so amazing and helps me with my pizza and Italian cravings. I have been eating any mashed potatoes yet though, I just have never been a big mashed potatoes fan. I am so focused on Protein right now, so I usually only have a meat and some kind of soft cheese.< /p>

I am just 9 days post op so I am still doing the liquids...I am so looking forward to the pureed food stage. I see my Dr. on the day before Thanksgiving...hoping he releases me to pureed food stage so that I can have a little something at Thanksgiving dinner.

Soft food starts at week 4 for me, but I'll still be in pureed stage for Thanksgiving. That's okay, I'm not a big fan of turkey anyway!

So I guess it does depend on you doctor. Ugh Noone knows which doctor is right or which is wrong lol

Wow well I guess every doctor is different I was on puree on day 5

I'm 17 days post-op and started soft foods Tuesday at 14 days. My doctor skips puréed all together. liquid for 2 weeks, soft 2 weeks, then regular eating as tolerated after that.

My surgeon started me on soft foods after my two week check up. I am losing fast and he always seems concerned. Post surgery I'm down 32 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm planning on a little broth soaked Turkey and mashed sweet potatoes for thanksgiving!!!

By one month out, I'll be on normal foods. I just started puréed yesterday, on day #9.
