How long were you on liquids before you went to the mushie stage?



Recommended Posts

This is just my own little survey that I am hoping to give my dietician on Thursday when I go back 4 my 10 day post-op visit. I have noticed that the Mexican Doctors are more lenient with the liquid phase. Some of the American Doctors only require 1 week of liquids, 1 week of mushies, 1 week of semi solids, and finally 1 week of solids then you are on your own. Thanks for your participation. I am not concerned about the pre-op liquid fasting just the post -op diet.

Thank you,

Dee Dee

Ok i Just had surgery july 30 by an american doctor and i had 1 week of Clear Liquids after surgery and then after that it was 1 more week of full liquids then you move on to 2 weeks of mushy food. Dont worry it sounds worse then it really is!!

Good Luck!!

No mushies allowed on my diet. I had 1 week of straight liquids, then 2nd week of creamies, then added yogurt to all of that on the 3rd week. 4th week was straight to solids

My transition to solids was a 6 week phase.

2 weeks on full liquids, then started to slowly introduce mushies in. Like the first week of mushies, I could have mashed potatoes and stuff of that consistency. The second week, I could mush up canned spaghetti or have tuna mornay (which was absolutely devine!!). The 3rd week I could introduce lasagna and other caserole type dishes, as well as ground beef. The fourth week I could introduce solid meats, such as chicken, steak, etc.

It seemed like hell at the time lol, but in hindsight, it showed me what I could and couldn't do and really wasn't that bad.

My post-op instructions are as follows:

1 week clear liquids

2 weeks full liquids

1 week mushies

then see the dietian for next step which I am assuming will be semi-solids one week then on to solids.

We were told 2-3days clear liquids, then any liquids (and I mean anything including 'soda') for the rest of the first week, then 2 weeks mushies, and 1 week soft foods. But they served us coffee, ice cream and vitamized vegies on the second day in hospital - so really I had less than 24hrs on clear liquids and no time on plain liquids and went straight to mushies. I didn't stick to that for long either though - I was eating full meals 3 weeks out.
