how long till eating real food??????

i just had my surgery a week ago and im trying to figure out what the diet plans are? im on a puree diet now. When do i switch to soft food, then normal food! this is driving me nuts. Dr. Searles did my surgery so if there are patients out there who know...please share. 

I know how you feel, mine was August 24 and I am so hungry. I think he was great but I feel lost now. This has not been a good week. I cry, am hungry and I have no engery.

 yea thats how i feel i just want to eat something other then protein shakes and pudding. 

 I am also seeing Dr. Searles.  You are on puree foods for 5 weeks from what I understand.  Be sure to make an appointment with a nutritionalist so they can help you.  

 I hope you guys are doing better.  Did you check with the doctor today?  

 yep 30 days of puree then soft food and then i have to work myself to hard food...i have to listen to my body. 

Hope you're feeling better this week! Dr. Searles had me on pureed food for the first 30 days, then soft food for six weeks, after that it was just adding different food items. I would try a bite of something (like chicken, beef, etc) and see if my stomach liked it or not. It's very weird, I think our little pouches go through mood swings...since I've been allowed regular food I didn't have any trouble with beef, but, had some today in some soup and I was sick for about an hour.

The first thirty days I wasn't really hungry at all so I didn't even think about food. My husband had to remind me to eat because I'd literally go most of the day without eating anything. After about two weeks on pureed food I was ready for something to munch on...the nurse in Dr's office gave me a wonderful suggestion...munch on a couple of cheerios (the plain ones), they dissolve into nothing but it helps with that need to chew something.

 How is everyone doing after surgery?
