ive been doing a lot of reading and to me there seems to be differences in the length of times from liquid to purée to soft solids. Can y'all let me know how long each of your stages were. It goes without saying I'll follow my drs advice...I'm just interested.

It depends on the surgeon's program. I never had an all liquid phase. I was on puréed foods for essentially 8 weeks with things like scrambled eggs added for the last half of that period. Then I started on solids very slowly, one type at a time. I didn't have stea****il 3 months.

I had two weeks of full liquids, two weeks of purees, and two weeks of soft solids. Then I went to my "forever diet."

10 days of liquids only pre-op - five protein shakes a day.

My plan calls for 2 weeks of liquid only( mostly shakes)then 2 weeks of soft food like yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna..and then slowly introducing more solid food a little at a time focusing on lean dense protein first and eventually adding in veggies and fruits. and always no BRPPS ( bread, rice, potatoes, pasta or sugar).
