Hi all,

So I am probably way over thinking this! But I really don't want to speed through the steps. On the other hand, and I excited to introduce new foods into my life when I'm allowed. :)

I know with TWH, the diet says 2 days of liquids, then here's where I get confused: it says "weeks 1 & 2: full liquid; weeks 3 & 4, puréed".

Ok, so do I start counting after surgery, or after clear liquids? Lol

Meaning, can I have puréed foods Friday, Saturday, or Monday?!

Also, what did you introduce and enjoy?

Thanks for all your feedback.

Signed, overtired and neurotic.

2 weeks liquids --- but you can have watered down oatmeal, cream of wheat as well as shakes and strained cream soups. I would not speed up-- speedy---- your digestive parts and tummy need to heal... more strain -- bad.... in 2 weeks you begin puree ..then soft foods...

Trust me all surgeons and NUTs say to be very very very careful not to rush.

Thanks for responding Jo. I'm not trying to speed through. Completely the opposite. I'm trying to do it correctly and understand what "two weeks" means.

I did it based off two weeks after clean liquids ended. I put reminders in my calendar. I did masked veggies and beans (i dont eat meat) smoothies oatmeal and pureed fruits with protein powder

Great idea to put reminders in my calendar! I've been calculating things mentally... but I'm going to add some reminders with some notes about what I can eat!! :)

nurse at TWH when I was discharged told me week 1 starts the day after the day I went home. I was discharged on a Sunday so my weeks have always began on a Monday.

Good luck!

Thank you! I was discharged on a Sunday as well, so I will also start things off on a Monday.
