Diet timeline

Hello Everyone,  I have been reading the board for some time doing research on what to expect.  Can anyone give me a diet timeline?  For  how long is the liquid diet before surgery, how long after , when do you move to"mushies" etc.  Thanks so much for your help

I believe all surgeons are different. However my plan is as follows:
5 day liquid diet pre-op
Then 2 weeks liquid diet then,
1 week pureed food then,
1 week soft solids then,
gently introduce proper portions of solids and always eat protein first & remember to chew, chew, chew.
Absolutely no drinking 30 minutes before or after meals EVER, but must attempt to get at least 64 oz liquid a day.
Begin multi-vitamin 2 weeks post op as well.

**Remember everyone and every plan differs. **

IF there is a liquid diet before surgery, it is for 2 weeks on average. (My doc does not have a pre op diet) Then some of them have clear liquids for 1 week, regular liquids for 1-2 weeks, then mushies for a week(or two), then soft food for a week (or two) then on to regular diet.  There are several different diets, it depends on your doctors plan for you.
