Hi, I was just curious how long I should be on this soft food diet? (phase 2)  I would ask my surgeon but he is very busy, and sometimes he kinda complained about me emailing him too much. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.  Also how can I get an updated pic on my thumbnail pic.  I really like the ones that are like b4 and after. I am 1 month post op Thanks Robin RNYGB Oct. 2005      309/ 292/ 223 Revision RNYGB with Fobi ring June 2008         223/204.5/160

I only had to be on it for 3 days (all stages were 3 days) I will be able to start eating normal foods on Monday...2 weeks after my surgery. But as Im reading others posts it looks like everyone's doctors are different.   I dont know anythng about the pic, I am having the same problems myself! Good luck!!

Everyone's docs are different. I had to be on it for 3 weeks.  Sounds kind of bad about your doc.  He should be there to support you or provide you a nutritionist to help with these questions.  Of course you can come here but every plan seems a little diferent.

I had to be on soft or blended foods for 3 months.  It depends on your surgeon.  I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks, full liquids for a month then pureed foods then soft foods.  It was a loooong 3 months.

That sucks that your surgeon doesn't want to take an active roll in your weight loss... that is very sad.  I agree with the others, that every dr. is different.  I went for one week on liquids, three weeks on per selected soft foods (cottage cheese, refried beans, yogurt, and sf pudding) for three weeks, now I am on pureed foods for three weeks.  Then, I go to regular foods on July 13.
