Ok what were u eating at5 days postop?

Ok just curious what everyone was eating 5 days post op, be honest now...lol I just want to see how diofferent  everyone is and howdifferent surgeons diets differ! Humor me pleasssseee...lol

Most surgeons have a limited lists of foods or liquids you can have during the first few weeks. There is a reason for this. They want your surgery to heal as quickly as possible and some food can irritate the surgical areas. Also, fluid diets during the first week are commonly done too. Stick to the list your surgeon provided to avoid any issues. Liquid diets are common for the first 7-10 days and about the only thing you can have to chew on is SF popsicles. DAVE

I was still on full liquids.  Popsicles, broth, jello, Crystal light, diet V-8 Splash, Propel and my protein shakes.  I did start my pureed at 7 days post-op.  Hopefully tomorrow they will OK for me to move onto the next phase.  I have done suprisingly well!

Eating - nada, nothing.  Full liquids for one month and puree for month #2.

My surgeon's guidelines are the same as what Cindy describes. 

dave I understand what your saying ,i I was just curious I am sticking to my diet , however every surgeons  has different s foods and diets and thats is why I asked I was just curious as to what people were eating  and there are some people that do eat more then what may  or may not be on there diet whether it is allowed or not that is why I said be honest , i am not judging anyone. I just  noticed just how different everyones diets are for the same  surgery !

I'm glad to see you're back and seem to be doing well.  How are you feeling and are you having any problems, besides hunger?

I am exactly one week post-surgery today.  Since last Sunday, I have been on pureed foods (3 oz, 3x/day), with protein shakes and LOTS of liquids in between those 'meals'.

Full liquids - cream soups, yogurt, jello, popsicles, protein drinks.
