Don't you do ANYTHING other than play on the computer?? ;)

My first week was clear liquids. 64 oz. Including the clear liquid protein (Isopure). I also had to count the grams of protein, a minimum of 60 grams. For liquids I had: broths, water decaf iced tea with splenda, sf popcycles, sf Italian ice, Isopure, water, Crystal light.

Week two was full liquids (liquids that you can not see through along with plain Greek yogurt, sf applesauce, protein powder, shakes and all the wonderful goodies from the previous week.

Week three added pureed foods to the two previous weeks items.

Week four added soft foods, those that you could cursory a fork.

I had to get a bit creative. If you haven't already, go to www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com for some great ideas for all stages of post op eating.

Oh. Silly me. Head hunger was a non-issue for me. Thank goodness!

That would be "cut with a fork". I need to quit using a cell phone with auto correct!!!

LOL. I adore you Spotz.

Back at 'cha! :)

Chocoate, thank you so much for asking that question. I spent all night last night reading, researching, and worrying about the pureed portion of the diet.

you are awesome.

At least your not picking our noses!! LOL ;)

2 weeks after was the same as 2 weeks prior. Liquid protein shake. Broths, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello any flavor, sugar free drinks non carbonated. then went to soft foods for 2 weeks. cottage cheese, refried beans, chili (chewed well), soups (if chunky chewed well) anything that was soft and sugar free low carb. I never had to puree anything, I was just told to chew chew chew to the consistancy of babyfood.
Good luck!!!!
Wishing for speedy, painless recovery!!

You are definitely adorable, and ask away that's what we're here, and your here so that when it's your turn you can pay it forward.

I was on the liquid diet for 5 days. It was three meals a day of 2 oz. of beef or chicken broth, and 1 oz of sugar free jello. The rest of my day was 64 oz of water, milk, and sugar free popsicles.

sf popsicles are lifesavers!!! also clear liquids for 1 week for me then 1 week of soft liquids (sf pudding, cream of nothing soup, ) week 3 added cream soups, soft eggs, cottage cheese. week 4 i added string cheese, thin sliced chicken, tuna salad, seafood salads. No veggies, no fruit, no breads or flour products till after 6 weeks and then only after protein is eaten. No head hunger till this last week but not ever hungry. I force myself to eat a couple times a day. Oh yeah and protein shakes were allowed from day 1 but after the 1st week I have a hard time drinking them .None of them taste right and they give me a stomach ache after a couple of sips. Good luck and keep posting you r a joy to read your posts!!!!

I haven't had surgery yet but I just want to say that I really enjoy your posts. They always make me laugh. debby

Mine was first week only clear liquids, including SF popsicles and SF jello. Second week I could add full liquids, like Spotz, but unlike many others I see here, we are not allowed any milk, fruit, beans, or anything fun. Week three was supposed to be pureed but I just stuck with week 2's items because even the thought of pureed food made me nauseated. Week four was "be gentle" but eat real food, protein first, 15 g. carb limit per DAY, but at that point I got severe nausea so I had to go back to protein shakes and water and not much else. I tried one item at a time when adding new foods once the nausea started to recede. Some work and stay put, some don't. Whee! Learning curves are fun! Okay, maybe not so much. Like going out to dinner and you find out on your third bite "Pouch is refusing this quite strongly!" But, you get over it and go on, and keep an emergency kit in the car: covered opaque tupperware for refused food, wet wipes, bottle of water, paper towels. Clean up, clear out, go back to what you know will work.

Probably more than you wanted to hear, right? But it might be your reality for a little while, or you may get to skip that altogether. Either way, you can cope, and it will all come out good in the end. Honest!
