Well I had a consult with the NUT today over the phone due to them being over 100 miles away, and the VA NUT want me back to full liquids for one more week before I start the blended diet. She said it will give my stomach a extra week to heal. Who am I to argue with them.

The VA also wants me to wait 12 weeks before I start any type of weight program (lifting weights) only allowed to do cardio.  

So this has kind of bummed me out since I have been on pureed foods for 2 days now.

Oh well such is my NEW LIFE, got to make changes to save lives!!

I had to go back to liquids at the three month mark - boy was that a drag!  You can do it, it's just for a week.

Why did you have to do that? Were you having problems?

Yeah, I had some weird complication at three months.  I was only able to eat about an ounce at a time or I'd throw up.  So my surgeon put me on an anti-spasmodic for 10 days and I had to do 3 days of full liquids, 3 days of purees, and 3 days of soft foods.  The surgeon has no idea what happened, it was just some fluke thing.  

I haven't had any issues before or since!
