My doctor is having me eat pureed foods already 3 days post op. Is that normal?

I'm starting to freak out. My surgeons having me eat pureed foods 2 days after surgery. They brought me tuna the day after my surgery? I had 1 scrambled egg for Breakfast and I'm having cottage cheese for lunch. I'm just so scared bc I'm reading about everyone doing only liquids and I don't want my surgeon to be wrong? Will this stretch my stomach out? Anyone else eat soft foods this early?

That is different from what my doctor had me do. I would do as they say though :-)

I would do what your doctor says. I was on solid food eating steak and zucchini on day 10. I started eating scrambled egg and canned chili on day 6.

Everyone's surgeon has a different plan. My pre-op diet was not liquids at all. I had solid food all the way up to 12 hours before surgery.

Do what your doctor says. You'll know what sits well. Everyone's different. I think portion size might stretch your stomach, not what you eat. You'll get full quick. Do what's best for you. Good luck. ❤️

Every surgeon does it different. Follow what yours says.

My team had me on pureed on day 2 as well. I am on it until 4-6 weeks.

I was on puréed a week out. I'm 8 weeks now and doing fine.

I was on yogurt and apple puree 1 day out 2 weeks out i'm still on purees but more blended meat with Soup I'm also having some of that soft pretend crab meat stuff which is going in fine. Sadly after surgery I am now badly lactose intolerant so all my planned shakes and Greek yogurt are off the menu.
