Why is there such a difference in post op diet?

October 10, 2021
Asked By:Clementine k. in Los Angeles, CA

I just had vsg and my surgeon said to be on clear liquids for two weeks then full liquids for two weeks. And so on. I feel this is so excessive . I see other surgeons who allow puréed food 5 days post op. Why is there such a difference in the post op diet? Is there a medical reasoning for this? If I eat puréed food sooner will I damage my stomach? Is this serious? Thank you. Just having a hard time
