When Did You Start Soft / Pureed Foods?

[ssourgirl 151]

It seems like many of us get different directions from our surgeons regarding diet. I'm curious....

When did you start the pureed foods and what did you try first?

[Babbs 14,681]

I started pureed's when my surgeon told me it was okay to start.

I had re fried Beans with some melted cheese. And it was heavenly

I started one week after surgery. the first thing I had was about an ounce of pureed chix, Beans & potato with a dot of applesauce. Then yogurts, hummus, cottage cheese, ricotta bake, etc

I had my surgery on March 24th it was Clear liquids week one weeks 2 and 3 puree and has to go through a stainer then weeks 3 through 6 is soft food where I can have things such as scambled egg, refried Beans and hummus. I do not eat meat so it will be a task finding food choices. I am looking forward to trying the ricotta bake that I have seen so many people say they have enjoyed.

Two weeks after surgery

[Mgenovesejr 11]

I'm 12 days out and met with my surgeon today. He said I can try soft foods phase now even though technically it's supposed to be Wednesday. I had a imitation crab stick today and a ham and cheese rollup and it was AMAZING.

Tonight I am having fish.

The Surgeon told me I can try soft stuff and see how it feels. Just eat slow and CHEW CHEW CHEW, lol. :-)

The 4th week. I had a week of Clear Liquids, and 2 weeks of full liquids first.

As soon as I got home on day three, I started full liquids. At one week, I started purees, mostly baby food, and soft cooked chicken run through the blender with tasty bone broth. At week three I started soft foods just regular cooked food from the kitchen like refried Beans with cheese and a little sour cream, cooked chicken, ground beef run through the blender to make it smaller, with a little melted cheddar, mashed green Beans, stuff like that.

At 4 1/2 weeks I got the all clear for cooked foods as tolerated, so I stopped by Wendy's on the way home from the doctor's office and got chili with cheese. It lasted me four days! I had an early disaster with steamed cauliflower, so I stayed with softer veggies for another month. I coud eat applesauce and banana, but raw fruits like apples and greens like for a salad, I could not tolerate until three months. I am still scared to try popcorn, even at 15 months.

My surgeons schedule was post op day 1 and 2 clear liquids

Then next 7 days full liquids

Then for 3 weeks pureed foods

Then 4 weeks soft foods

Then unrestrictive regular foods-

Right now I'm 12 days into my pureed foods and Its getting harder to do

I can't wait for soft foods!

Did you have any problems with not drinking while eating? Nausea? If you had nausea before did it help any? Make it worse?

[ashsleeved 41]

I start purees a month out from surgery. So I start them 4/20.

Although I have sampled some things! Lol

At 1 week & started slowly.. It was fine

[Kathryn Ramsey 1]

I am 16 days out and am just starting pureed. Had my 2 week check and they gave me the green light.

[krissy202001 5]

My surgeon advises to start soft/pureed foods at 2 weeks out.
