Hi, My surgery was 3/17/09.  Anyone else out there had the same date?  I am on boost only for 4 weeks post op.  I can barely get one bottle in.  I can't wait to eat.  Egg salad and mashed potatoes sounds amazing.

Everyone is different. Same surgery day and I'm also doing protein drinks,  cream soups and today I had cream of wheat with a little bit of sugar free syrup. So far so good. Hang in there you need to listen to your Doc.

wow I was 3/17 as well. However I have been on pureed foods since the hospital. They fed me tuna salad while I was there. I've been feeling great. It is amazing how different doctors believe in different post op treatment.

I was the 17th as well. My diet currently is yogurt, pudding, soup (strained if it has anything in it) and protein shakes. Can't wait to see doc next week so I can move to soft mushy stuff. Hang in there everyone it will be well worth the wait.

My date was also the 17th.  I am on full liquid until Tuesday (two weeks out from surgery) and then progress to pureed for two weeks, then soft foods for two weeks and then onto regular foods at 6 weeks out.  I was doing well with my protein at first but the last few days I haven't done so good.  I will be glad to be on regular food and getting some of my protein in that way instead of just shakes!
