post-op diet

Well I am 3 weeks post op and 30 pounds lighter Could'nt be happier. However, I am going on 4 weeks of liquid diet and 8 more days to go!!!!! Starting to go a little crazy! How long did you guys have to stay on liquids before moving to soft foods???

 I was eating "real" food 2 weeks out. I ate lots of cottage cheese and roast beef slices with cream cheese rolls. 

I'm 3 weeks out too, my doctor cleared me after a week for soft foods. Specifically he said soft cooked meats, cheese, yogurt. but you should follow your doctors recommendations.

I left the hospital on full liquids (basically anything smooth and remotely pourable, like yogurt or pudding) and started on solids ten days postop.

I started foods that could be squashed by a fork soft meats, tuna with LOTS mayo ,cottage cheese,  eggs and egg salad, potatoes yogart  after  2 weeks. but it was just a few bites every 20 to 30 mins,,

Did not do chicken steak etc till almost 3 months,, it was too dense.. 

I was on liquids only for 4 weeks after surgery, then soft foods for 4 weeks after that.
