Recommended Posts

Did you guys waited your doctors appointment to start trying food?

That is very vague. haha

I was on 2 week phases, 2 weeks full liquids, 2 weeks pureed, 2 weeks soft foods and then slowing transition to solid foods.

I did not have to wait to see my surgeon before each stage but we were advised if we had any issues to reach out. I was lucky enough to have a smooth recovery and had no issues transitioning into different stages.

When we started trying foods again, we were advised to try ONE thing at a time so if we got sick we knew exactly what it was from. Then, we could try that food again a few weeks/months later as our tolerances change as we progress.

I had a chart from the doctor office that said the same, two weeks for each stage. I found I had to go slower and spend 3 weeks for each stage. I agree with trying one food at a time. The dietitian kept suggesting scrambled eggs for soft food, but I got foaming and it got stuck. Later I found out eggs and chicken are the most common things to get stuck at first, lol. Now they are my go to Proteins, so you can try stuff later after more healing. Reach out to your team if something seems painful or you can’t keep liquids down.

Did your surgeon not give you a plan?

As we've seen here repeatedly, doctor's have their own ideas about you you should be eating when. They should be your first source for what you should be doing right now.
