Default eating too much too soon

My doctor is VERY strict on her post op regimine but she has GREAT success with her patients. 2 weeks clear liquids, next 4 weeks pureed, next 4 weeks soft food (easily chewed) then onto normal foods. Its seems to work well, cause it has been allowing me to "withdrawal" from my food addiction (which we all have) and in only 4 weeks I have lost 35 lbs.

Overdoing it could harm your staple line or could block your stoma. I would take it slow and steady.

Take this time to re-evaluate your eating habits and enjoy life without relying on food all the time.

Continued luck. Melissa
