Hi BluIz,
Stage 1 is full fluids for 2 weeks: protein shakes, strained creamy soups, yogurt with no fruit on the bottom, cottage cheese, cream of wheat and oatmeal. All with less than 10 g of sugar per serving.
Next is puréed food for two weeks. All of the above, plus anything you can throw into a blender and get to a smooth consistency. I would make lots a slow cooker meals and purée them, and soups you don't strain anymore but purée instead.
Soft food is four weeks and it's the food above, but in really small bites... I think this is where you're allowed poached eggs, although it may be in puréed.
Finally, regular foods!
You will get a way more comprehensive guide, but this is a high level overview. Hope it helps. :)

Thank you. It's been over five years since my RNY and just had a section of my small intestine removed so I'm back to reintroducing food as the original surgery. My phone would allow me to copy the full link. I wasn't expecting to go back through the stages so that info will give me a hand with a bit of planning before I get out.
Thanks again.
You're welcome. I hope your recovery goes smoothly and you're on track to great health quickly. :)
I know how overwhelming it can be to think of all the planning. Hopefully that helps a bit!
Take care, recover well and we're here to help as you go through all the stages again!!
