I noticed that too. I have found myself going huh?? when reading some profiles. I have Dr. Valin and he had me on full liquids for 3 weeks, I started the purreed stage on weds and I do that for two weeks, then go to soft foods for two weeks and then hopefully onto to solids after that. I think it depends on the doctor and thier experience of what works best.

Every doctor has different requirements. I think it just has to do with what has worked best for them with their patients. Despite the differences, I would recommend strictly adhering to YOUR surgeon's suggestions, and forget what everyone else is doing. It will help you to be successful! Are you joining us for the get-together on the 20th? You live so close by - its in East Windsor? If you are interested, let me know and I'll email you the information.
