Ask Your Surgeon: The best person to answer this question would be your surgeon or her/his nurse or designated office personnel. Even when 2 surgeons perform the exact surgery on different patients or even one surgeon on 2 patients, the aftercare plan will vary based on the surgery.

Ask your surgeon: That is entirely up to your surgeon. They should be the ones to assess how to advance your diet after surgery. In my own practice, I always defer to them after I send one of my patients to surgery. My guess is that it would be OK, but I can't be certain.
