I know every surgeon is different and every surgeon has their own "routine". However, I'm just wondering how long after surgery did you start on pureed food?

I began 2 ounces of pureed food my second day in the hospital. I am just now (4 weeks out) beginning to feel hunger of any sort. I just started soft foods this week.

We were supposed to do liquids the first week then puree's foods. I started them after 4-5 days.

Your doc advises staying on liquids for six or seven weeks after surgery?

Wow, that's a long time on liquids. I know all surgeon have different protocol, but I think that's the longest on liquids I've ever seen.

I am 1 week out and allowed to switch from liquids to pureed on after week 2. So one more week to go, I cannot wait!

I didn't. I had clear liquids Day 1, full liquids Day 2, and soft foods (cream of wheat, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, applesauce) on Day 3. No purées required. My surgeon's experience is that people have far less trouble with eating if they do NOT "baby" their pouch with extended period of liquids and/or purées.

I did liquids until my "3" week follow-up, which was actually 17 days. Then advanced to fork tender soft foods, 2 oz protein and 2oz veg.
