You were lucky - my surgeons had me on not only a 10 day pre-op liquid diet (that didn't include cream soups!) but a 2 week liquid post-op diet. They finally "paroled" me at a week and a half to the mushy stage, which I have a little over a 1/2 week left of that.
The thing I find most interesting is some of the foods mentioned on this site that they are eating are on my "forbidden" list from my hospita -things like popcorn, anything fibrous/stringy (asparagus, broccoli, celery, pineapple), anything doughy/sticky, and dry meats such as pork and even some beef. I WAS told :whoo: that I can have thin crust pizza down the line in moderation and for that I am truly grateful since I love the stuff!!! Giving up pasta and rice is bad enough. Only time will tell what my body will tolerate.
