Post-Op Liquids... arrrghhhh!

Hi everyone

I can't believe I'm only 4 full days post-op, and I feel so good only slight soreness in the belly region, i've come off painkillers. feeling really tired so still taking it easy though!

anyway i'm already bored of the liquid diet! haha, i'm very impatient did anyone cheat slightly on it? like start mashed foods a bit early?

or did anyone make some home made soups or anything that were tasty?

I really wanted to go onto puree foods early but I didnt as the dietician scared me a bit...he said you need to stay on the liquids then purees to let your pouch heal and if you move on too quickly you could stretch your pouch That was enough to keep me on the straight and narrow XX

Dont do it!Do as you were told or Ill come and slap your legs!You might feel good on the outside but the inside hasnt healed yet.There is a reason you are on a liquid diet for so long.Chin up.Maz x

today is my last day of liquid diet - 2weeks postop now so pureed tomorrow, Just keep focussed on the fact that u need to allow the join between ur intestine and new tummy to heal so there is no leakage.
I found that the more variety in liquids I had the better - so made some homemade soup like celery soup and lentil and cumin. I made these thin enough that there would be no problems.

The next few weeks are really important to give ur body a chance to heal.

It will be worth it
