That is information you will need to get from your doctor and NUT. Everyone's post-op instructions are different. I was on purees from day 3-14.

My surgeon did not use puréed foods at all. We were on varying degrees of soft food gradually adding foods until week 7 when we could eat everything

I know. I'm on it for a week to two weeks. Just curious to see what others' time frames were like!

Gotcha...Mine was full liquids and purees, then to soft foods (anything that can be cut easliy with a spoon), and I can begin regular foods next week (7 weeks).

On average it's two weeks.. Then soft foods. I had egg during my purée stage but in small bites and chewed well.. I also had pear and peach (no skin and well chewed).. I'm starting week 4 down a little over 40 pounds. Never had dumping or any issues. good luck :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
