Need Advice on Post Op eating

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Welcome to the losing side!!!!

My 1st 2 weeks I was on clear liquids. I lived off of chicken broth, s/f

jello, s/f popsicles, Apple juice, Proplete Gold protein shakes and water.

These 1st 2 weeks are the toughest and it does get better starting at week 3

with the full liquid diet.

Hang in there, it will get better.

Hi everyone,

I had my surgery earlier this week, Dec. 2.

(Thank you Lori B., for advising me EXACTLY what it

would be like. You are the best!!)

I'm home now. However, I am having a lot of trouble with my post op

diet. My Doctor's orders are to stay on protein drinks

for the next two weeks. I have tried several, but they usually cause

me to run for the bathroom right away.

I would like to hear what everyone else was eating their first and

second week post op!

Today I actually broke the rules and had a slim fast brand cream

chicken soup that I had No trouble with, though I doubt this is

enough protein...

Help!

, my diet the 1st week was clear liquids only (juice, tea, water,

broth, etc.). The 2nd week was soft foods (cottage cheese, sugar-free

pudding, tomato soup, lentil soup, basically foods that you don't have to

chew).

,

My first week post I was allowed only liquids (tea, juice, Gatorade,

water, broth) then the next 5 weeks I was allowed creamed soups, malt o

meal, cream of wheat, and grits in addition to the liquids. I was not

allowed soft foods or anything until I was 7 weeks post op.
