Help, I'm so lost!

[Candigal 35]

My doctor had me do Clear liquids the first day post op, then come home on soft foods and he told me to progress as I felt comfortable. I'm 10 days out and I'm eating normal (haven't tried red meat or pork), making healthy choices, and trying my best, but I see all these other people on 3-6 weeks of liquid and I'm wondering if my doc is a quack! Anyone else have a doc like mine???? My weight loss is at 30 lbs in 10 days, just FYI.

One of the things I have learned on this forum is that almost every doctor is different with their pre-op/post-op instructions. If you're concerned I suggest you call your doctor with your concerns and let them explain their post-op instructions and why they are different from others. If your are feeling good and losing weight then I suspect you're fine but I subscribe to the "better safe than sorry" philosophy

Yeah I'm on liquids for two weeks. No soft foods until 2 weeks after. I wish i could have a bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy.
