I got a sample menu from my doctor and dietician. They say (only a sample, mind you)...

Breakfast: 4-6 oz of light yogurt no fruit pieces.

Lunch: 1-2 oz. Pureed Tuna w/ low fat mayo & 1/2 banana.

Dinner: 1/4 cup cottage cheese & 1/4 applesauce.

Snack: 1/2 cup skim milk.

They also suggest scrambled eggs (whites or Egg Beaters), low fat or vegetarian refried beans, white fish (baked or grilled-mush it up before eating), pureed chicken or turkey breast, low fat cheese, and pureed cooked veggies.

Anyway, hope this helps some! Best of luck! My surgery is on Monday morning! Eek!

I think most people have a food processor--I do not. So I plan on mashing things up REALLY well! Ha! If that doesn't work, I might have to invest in cheap food processor. But it sounds like that stuff is pretty easily "squished." Ha!

My doctor has me super prepared! It's a great clinic in Chicago.

Stay in touch! Let me know how you're getting on!

Try Greek yogurt. It is more expensive but it has a lot of protien that helps keep you filled up. I also ate cream of wheat, and sugar free popcicles. I remember being so sick of the sweet shakes! Hope find something new to try. =)
