Stage 2 diet

Describe "Stage 2"... My doctor broke down my eating plan into what I could have so many weeks after surgery.  I was on liquids for a week after.. then I have been on pureed from week 2 through week 6... tomorrow I can move onto "soft foods".. I would suspect that your doctor should have given you some type of gude to eating well after surgery.

John,

There are many other things that are soft other than potatoes which should be done in moderation because they have lots of carbs.

There are cream soups,cottage cheese,muscle milk pudding,

sugar free fudgesicles ect..

What ever you choose go slow and take small bites and or sips.

John,

I'm with Jennifer. I'm not sure exactly what "Stage 2" means for you with the protocol your Dr has laid out. I was on clear liquids the first 3.5 weeks, then my "Stage 2" started with soft foods ... basically those w/o skins and that I can cut with my fork.

Once you talk with your Dr and/or Nutritionist, I'm sure you'll have a plethora of things that you can introduce. One of things they did tell us was to only introduce one thing at a time. This way we could tell if we were tolerating the new item well or not. Of course, the "library" of items grows pretty quickly. I found that a something I might have difficulty with one week, I could tolerate the next.

I look forward to hearing of your progress.
