I know all dr.'s all different but I'm just trying to find out typically how long you are on liquids, soft foods, and when you start tolerated foods. My mom had the surgery in 2000 but she says that the diet afterwards has changed alot since her surgery. Thanks Laura

I went with Alexian Brothers hospital. First 2 weeks - liquids 3rd and 4th - week puree 5th and 6th - week soft foods 7th weeks on - as tolerated That was almost 9 montghs ago so that could be different now. Good luck with your journey!!
