Yes, my stage 2 is everything on my stage 1 (clear liquids) and I can add in skim milk and strained, low fat creamed Soups. I've been doing this since Thursday and supposed to last for 14 days total or until I see the dr. for my follow up.

​This is pretty common. It's just called different things. You should be able to have Protein shakes, right? That should make up a lot of your intake at this point. Be sure the Soups are strained / thinned out a little bit. No chunks at all (some soups have chunks). Blend them if you have to in order to get the chunks out. Otherwise, just keep doing what you have been - Protein Shakes, broths, sugar free popsicles, etc. I know it is tough but it will be over soon. You just have to power through it. Pureeds will be here soon and trust me you will welcome it!

After stage two is soft food fish thing like that they haven't mentioned puréed foods yet

[Daisee68 2,493]

Hmm. That is strange. So how are you supposed to get Protein? Hopefully someone else who had a similar plan will weigh in. Sorry I couldn't help!

My point maybe I should call my nut and see what's going on.

Yes I think I would. Maybe (hopefully) they just didn't explain correctly? Protein is needed to heal so I don't know how you can go without it. Good luck! Let us know what they say!

[lachellove 486]

I will keep you all posted I'm see in my info packet they say no and I asked myself maybe I should add it on my own ugh I wanna heal fast.

@@lachellove - I'm sorry it is so confusing. You have enough to deal with without this confusion! Wait until tomorrow and then make sure when you call you tell them it is urgent so they call you back! Lots of programs are different, so maybe there is a reason behind it. Hopefully you can sleep well and will get answers tomorrow! HUGS!

[lachellove 486]

Thank you hugs. Back I will make all my calls and keep you posted. Thanks so much ..

@@lachellove - any word from your NUT today? Been thinking about you. I got my day all messed up because I had to fast for labs and then they had it wrong and had to go somewhere else, blah blah blah. Anyway, I felt awful all day and was never able to get a shake in (yet anyway) and just kept thinking I wasn't sure how you were getting through without them!

[lachellove 486]

No word yet. I'm going to call again tomorrow .. I've been pretty good without them .. Just worried about not having them ... Wondering why they wouldn't put it in my post op diet

[Daisee68 2,493]

Hmm. Yep. Agree it is strange. Glad you are doing ok without! This is the first day in 12 weeks I have gone without a shake. It feels quite strange like surely I have forgotten something important.
