What is the first thing you are allowed to have? I heard only broth for 2wks. Then I heard you follow the So Beach diet.

My doc had me on Clear Liquids week one. Cream soups/no chunks week two. Soft/ Puréed foods weeks 3 thru 6. Did your doc not give you a schedule of when you could eat what?

My surgeon and NUT have mine as clear liquids for the first 5 days (or until your first f/u appointment with him which is actually a week). After that I progress to full liquids including cream Soups, Protein Shakes with skim milk or another low fat/sugar option such as almond milk, and any of my previous clear liquids for 2 weeks. Then comes my personal fear, the purree diet for 2 more weeks before introducing soft foods for another 2 weeks. Once the pouch can handle those, introduce regular foods one at a time.

I haven't seen him yet. Went to the seminar. And filled out paper work.I want to know now so I can start shopping. Limited income its tough to eat right so if surgery is 3mos away I can start now getting what I need.

What protien drinks do you get and the price if you know. Thanks
