QUICK QUESTION!

SO MY SURGERY WAS 3/21 AND I KNOW THAT 2 WEEKS IM ON LIQUIDS AND TRYING NOT TO GET DEHYDRATED SO FAR SO GOOD I WAS JUST HAVING TROUBLE GETTING IN PROTEIN BUT I BROUGHT A UNFLAVORED ONE (WHICH TOOK MY AGES) SO IM OK NOW..MY FOLLOWUP APPT ISNT UNTIL 4/6 AND I KNOW THAT AFTER 2 WEEKS YOU CAN START ON SOFT FOODS SO YOU DO THINK I CAN START THAT MONDAY 4/4 OR DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I GO FOR THE F/U??

did your dr or nutritionist give you specific instructions?  I wouldn't move on to soft foods until given the ok - but that's just me.

Call your doctor and ask.

My dr and nutritionist said to stay on liquids until my 1 mo follow up. My surgery was on 3/8/16.  I guess when I go for that they will tell me what I can add to eat or not eat. I would not add food until you get the ok from them.

Stick to your post-op plans given to you by your Nutritionist---those guidelines were given to all of us for a reason.

I've been a nurse for 25 years...the liquids are safest while the incision/ staple line is healing...you definitely don't want rough solids brushing up against an area that is healing before intended.

Best to stick to the plan... "real food" is just around the corner for you!

I was told to switch to the next stage every 10 days

Call your doctor's office and ask them.

I was given dates to start each stage, whether I had a follow-u*****t... go back and re-read what they gave you....if you haven't called them already.
