Surgery on 1/11/17

[Hamera360 4]

I had my surgery on the first of November. At first I was really achy everything I was given something to drink, now on the other hand I really just want to really eat instead of drinking. I have cheated here and there with a bite of food , which I have been okay with. I am now wondering if I could just start eating and skipping the whole 8 weeks of purées. Any suggestions?

There is no info about you on your profile. Age, weight, height, HW, SW, pre-op weight loss, medical issues

So we can't begin to weigh in on your situation. What kind/duration of liquid diet did you do post-op, etc?

It's really important you follow your doctor's instructions. It's not a fun diet, but it is in place to help keep you safe.

The 8 weeks postop your stomach is only held closed by a line of staples and maybe some stitches. Too much pressure could potentially cause a leak. That's why you are on a very liquidy diet for that long. It's letting your stomach heal.

For those confused by the date, in some places the month and day are reversed. Her surgery was November 1st, not Jan. 11th.
