Dr. Bour's post-op patients...Phase 2 foods?

Hi guys!

This question is for Dr. Bour's post-op patients who have gotten past the Phase 2 diet.  I was wondering what are some of the "ok's" that were allowed and what you tolerated well.  Hope I'm making sense here.

My surgery is not until Oct. 14th, but I've been sitting here thinking about it and was just wondering what was allowed.

Take care and I hope to join you "losers" soon. lol

At your nutriton calss they will give you a sheet with a list of all the foods that you can have. Don't worry too much :) But when you say phase 2 do you mean liquid phase 2 or the solids 2?

Sorry!  I should have been more specific.   I'm referring to the liquids Phase 2...roughly 2 weeks out.

Thanks!

UNLESS THEY HAVE CHANGED IT SINCE I HAD MY SURGERY, THE  2ND PHASE IS FULL LIQUIDS. PRETTY MUCH LIKE THE FIRST ONE BUT YOU CAN ADD CREAM SOUPS AND SKIM MILK AND ANY LIQUID THAT WASN'T JUST ON THE CLEAR LIQUID LIST, JUST NO CARBONATED DRINKS OR  ALCOHOL, LOL. GOOD LUCK!
HUGS!

If I remember correctly, the liquid phase 2 includes cream soups, yogurt, small curd cottage cheese, sugar free fat free puddings, etc.  in addition to the things you can have on the first phase.    I had no problem at all with this phase, it's the pureed stage that is the worse.  For me anyway.  Good luck to you.   Melissa

Thanks, guys!

I just came from the Dr.'s office and got my pre-surgery package and instructions.  I'm excited, scared and any other crazy emotions you could roll into one.  It's coming down to the wire, now.

Take care and have a great weekend!
