I ate early. I ate a very small piece of chicken a week or so after surgery. Ate chunky soup a week after that. Yogurt was soft too. This is what I did and it didn't kill me. What you do is your business.

My doc was the same, 3 weeks liquid, then 1 week puree then soft food etc.
I couldn't do it. I needed to chew. I had mashed potatoes after a week. I bought this organic strawberry yogurt....it was the only strawberry yogurt I could find with no chuncks. It is only in the bigger tubs, not too thick either. You can't not eat anything. A few tbsp of soup will make you sick. I tried a sip of unflavored protien mix in almond milk....barf.....so I ended up taking 24oz milk, 1 packet of unjury unflavored protein and 2 packets of carnation instant breakfast (I like chocolate but they have strawberry and vanilla too) all together is was 20g protien from the unjury + 24g from the milk + 10g from the ensure (ensure says it's 13g per serving but that includes 8g of milk per 8oz.) Total 54g in that drink. Sipped throughout the day. I would have my yogurt and a cheese stick and be around 72g of protien.
Eat the cheese till its mush. Do not eat rice. You continue the way your going you will have no energy, and get sick. Don't forget you need 64oz fluid....I counted my 24oz protien drink in that. Sip all day. Also, my doc didn't actually expect me to take in 70g of protein and 64oz of water until week 3 post op. The first 2 weeks I was to "get in as much as I could handle."

I definitely would not start meat early unless you purée it. I had a LOT of trouble eating solid meat.
I did go to purée early and started with a little at a time.
I don't cook and have to be careful with meat so I go to Boston market and get a bowl with double meat. I purée it and get about 3 meals out of it! Plus, I get a coupon for buy one get one free on Sat. Works for me.
Good luck.

Your stomach has to work harder to digest meats so I wouldn't advice eating them too soon. Hamburger and pork are the worst. Stick to what your doc tells you and you'll do better in the long run. Your stomach can only hold such a small amount so that's all it takes to fill you up. Try sugar free jello, Light and Fit greek fat freek yogurt, Pure Protein drinks. Good luck.

You'll feel better as time goes on. I got nausea randomly for the 1st few months. Now I'm almost a year and I feel normal

Yes, early by a few days at each stage. When I went to the surgeon for follow up he asked me a generic, "are you advancing your diet"? and as long as I was taking it slow, increasing my calories and getting my protein, was not so concerned with the exact timeline. I really had a pretty easy time of it. Everyone is different though.

So you lost 20 lbs in the first week and you're not happy with that?? I followed the food stage plan exactly as it was spelled out. No pies, cheesecake, candy slider foods etc. My opinion is follow the plan given to you by your doctor. Just because you can eat anything doesn't mean you should. Drink at least 64 ounces of water and at least 80 grams of protein, every day, no exceptions
