Patients of Dr. Fernandez - quick question

Does anyone know what the post-op rules are for Dr. Fernandez in terms of stages of eating and types of food? Thanks! My girlfriend's husband had surgery last Thursday and she's not sure what he should be eating. When does he allow chicken, ham, carbs like noodles, rice, salad - all that stuff? What about Spaghetti?

Dr Fernandez is on vacation.  She needs to call Amber.

I think they're supposed to be on pureed for a month, but I might be wrong.

I remember eating stuff like cottage cheese and other soft foods and protein shakes for the first couple of weeks.  They should have sent him home from the hospital or the required nutrition class before surgery with paperwork that explains the food stages.  I agree with Tracy, have them call Amber!

I remember they brought me scrambled eggs before I left the hospital. I couldn't eat any of it though. I still can't eat spaghetti. The papers Amber gave me after surgery say,  pureed diet for the first 3 to 4 weeks. Under the sample menus it says 2 tablespoons browned ,crumbled ground beef or diced chicken, 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce, 1oz. 2% mozzarella cheese. Mix all together, heat and eat. I didn't try that, but I lived on soup and protein drinks for the first few weeks. That is just one of the example menus. It is in the handout that starts with Gastric Bypass Guidelines & Eating Plan. Please note that this is from the packet I got nearly a year ago so they may have changed things.
