Why do post-op diets ary so much from surgeon to surgeon?
I'm moving thru the post op stages also, my surgeon prefers: 1 week clear liquid, 2 weeks full liquids (and puréed soups), 1 week soft food (re fried beans, eggs....etc), then on the 5th week regular food. I move onto the full liquids on Monday, and I'm already dreaming of those re-fried beans Lol. I'm sure by week 5 I will be wanting to chew something so bad, but right now I am just loving never feeling Hungry!!
Just something I've been wondering about, as I see people posting about so many different post-op regimens. Some people are eating solid food a week out and others are on liquids for a heck of a long time. My surgeon's protocol is something like (can't remember exactly) 2 weeks on liquids, followed by 3 weeks of purees. Between that and the pre-op diet, its going to be almost two months before I can chew anything!
doesn't it seem like the post op protocols would be pretty much universal, since the surgeries are performed the same way?
because they are all different people,not clones.
