Only eat what you can. Dont over do it. Focus on water and protein

I followed Guelph's plan because it was more restrictive and I had two surgeries feeling the need to allow my pouch more healing time. I was okay with it. I had two weeks of Opti followed by two weeks of clear fluid and two weeks of fuller fluids. I added one protein shake a day made with warm water and a scoop of whey protein powder - also for healing. It was as thin as the water and I had no trouble with it.

After this, I switched to TWH's plan and have kept with it since. I wish they were all the same and when I compared the two, Guelph seemed to allow for more healing time which, to me, made sense.

Continued good health.
