That's good to know. Might get shot of the bean bag tonight.
I was litre of water on what should have been day after surgery (as mentioned I am day behind) with one cup of milky tea or coffee at night. Then next day start 4 - 6 week puréed. Then 4 week mushy then introduce normal textures.
Not sure why different hospital have different rules. I originally thought I would be on liquid diet for 4 weeks as well but I think I got that from one of the forums.
