Liquid diet

[nataliegianna 6]

Have any of you been taken off of your liquid diet early and started on purée? If so how early?

I am currently 5 days post op and jumped on here because I'm currently on the purée diet and am ALREADY sick of it! They made sure I was on purée foods before I left the hospital on Wednesday the 8th. I'm staaaarving I have been eating Jello, cream of celery, cream of chicken, cream of wheat barffff I get full fast but there haaaaaas to be something more out there. Any recipes recommended? I know it's a mental thing but gosh damn , how am I going to get through 4 more weeks of this if I can't even handle it 5 days later.[emoji31][emoji31] best wishes to you miss Natalie

I feel the same way! Had my surgery 1/24 had broths for one week and now on full liquids which is just like Tomato Soup, grits, cream of wheat, oatmeal, and I have this horrible taste in my mouth from having nothing but liquids ! Are you allowed to eat chicken salad? I have a couple of Recipes's for that. I get upgraded to purée on Tuesday and all I want is a piece of cheese. Never in my life have I missed simple things like cheese or eggs. Salmon is allowed on my purée as well as tuna. [emoji30]

How are you on purée only 5 days post op? I thought that was the full liquid phase

For two weeks, than finally soft foods by March 1. It's the repetitive eating of like 5 things that makes me wanna not eat at all sometimes

Stages and progressions vary widely from program to program. I, too, was on purees and soft foods in the hospital on out, with liquids in there as needed (particularly things like Protein Drinks, but also to fill in as needed if firmer things aren't tolerated well yet.) It's a big YMMV thing, just like pre-op diet regimens, or lack thereof.

I wasn't able to leave the hospital with out being on purée. I guess different hospitals different guidelines? Hmmm

I was given a stage 1 liquid tray to eat in the hospital and when they saw I tolerated the liquids just fine they brought in stage 2 tuna salad in the hospital. I've been on pureed foods since leaving the hospital. And while you may all miss eggs cheese and or fish. You are all definitely losing weight faster than I ever will. I'm 10'days post op and lost 4 lbs. I also came out of the hospital 8lbs heavier post op, I lost those 8 lbs and 4 on top of them but in the long run I'm only really down 4 lbs. enjoy your process. Each person is on a different regime based on their surgeon. But I'm noticing that those on Clear Liquids then all liquids that slowly transition to a pureed diet are def losing more weight post op.
Always look on the bright side!
