what diet were you on a week after surgery?
I'm one week out from surgery. Was on clear liquids in the hospital. On full liquids for the two weeks until my post op check up appointment. These include all clear liquids, plus yogurt, SF pudding, SF popsicles, creamed soups, milk, protein drinks. I'll be very glad to get through this next week, as I'm truly sick of the protein drinks....the sweetness is getting to me. I've also tried adding unflavored protein powder to soups, broths, and decaf coffee - some of that has worked out well, some not so much. It's time for "lunch" and I've been sitting here for a while trying to talk myself into another sweet shake.
Hopefully you'll be moved to full liquids at your check up.
I was on clear liquids for a week, then full liquids for two weeks, and then pureed or soft foods for a month. We got creative so it wasn't too terrible, but I was certainly happy to get to the phase where I could re-add some toothier things into my diet.
