Default Newbie with a question

Hi everyone,
My name is Stephanie and I am new here. I had my lap gas. bypass on Feb. 10th, so I am in my 5th week. Things are going ok but it will be helpful to have all of you as a resource.

I have a question: What were you eating/what diet, in your 5th week, I think I am getting the diets confused, but maybe not. I am still on the "pureed" stage, but, I can't deal with it, so I am trying to only eat soft foods: cottage cheese, refried beans, mashed potatoes, soup/broth, popsicles, etc., soft meat like broiled fish (and then i just chew it like crazy before i swallow)

Am I on the right track-at what point can i start expanding? I don't want to hurt anything, but it seems like some of the other people on here are expanding thier menus more quickly.

Thanks for your help!!!!

Stephanie
