10 days post-op and need a little help

Martha...what I'm finding is that every doc (and patient) is different. Most want atleast 1 week of clear liquids, 1 weeks of full liquids, and then soft (pureed). My doc was very, very conservative. He wanted 2 weeks of clear liquids, 2 weeks of full liquids, and then soft....I made it the 2 weeks of clear, 2 days of full, and advanced myself to soft. I skipped the pureed foods but eat soft foods that can be chewed to a pureed consistency before swallowing. I avoid those hard foods like lettus, raw carrots...those type of things. Regardless of what you do, make sure to chew, chew, chew. AND...be careful of those "hidden" sugars. I had a "dump" episode after some honey-baked ham. Good Luck
