Vicki, If I recall, it was clear liquids for two weeks, then full liquids for two weeks. You should be able to have pudding, mashed potatoes, stuff like that. Basically, that requires almost no chewing. Just take it easy. Don't be too brave, your stomach is still healing. Best wishes, Kina 220/155/120-130

thank you i couldnt figure if i should be eating masshed potatoes yet still at full liquids my stomach is growling all the time. thank goodness for popsickles! thanks again vg

I have been eating Cream of Wheat mixed with milk as well and it goes down great. I am soooo tired of broth and apple juice. I was so excited to pass on to the all liquid stage. How are things going with you? Leanne

Vicki , Welcome home! I am not sure where you are on the time frame. But I was on liquids for 2 weeks, then after I got home the 2 week period ended and I went into week 3 and 4 with full liquids to include protien drinks. After that I advanced to soft pureed type foods. I basically stayed on clear liquids with added cream soups, and protien shakes for my "full liquids". After that I started the blended foods, which is to be til end of week 8. Hope that helps! If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate emailing Dr. Joya or Nathalie. Sandy
