Saying prayers for you!!

Yes - I agree about drinks and Protein. Its just so hard to get my protein in!

This Wednesday I will be 4 weeks. I eat yogurt, the baked ricota dish, very small amounts of chicken, sf pudding/jello, cheese, pureed broccli soup and I can eat about 1/2 of a scrambled egg. Nothing goes down easy...but I understand this process is slow and things get easier with time. What did everyone else eat at 4 weeks out?

Thanks everyone - I think I will either try decaf or just drink 1/2 cup of regular in the morning...hopefully it goes well :-)

I am 16 days postop....why no cafeine? I miss my morning cup of coffee.

I tried 4 bites of cream of broccli (no chunks) and it stayed down!!!!! It tasted so good too. Thank you for your great advice!

I want to try the soup....did any specific soup work for you early on? And when did you start soup? Thanks!!!

what kind of soup? How did you prepare it? Thank you!!!!

Ok...so I should puree a can of soup (no chunks). Any other ideas? Thank you!

Laura - thank you so much for your reply. You made me feel so much better! I'm just going to taky my time and advance my diet slowly. Thank you all for replying - even though I have a supportive family I sometimes feel alone in this. Jumping on here and sharing my concerns and getting feedback so quickly helps me soooo much!!!

I am 2 weeks post op. I drink sugar free drinks throughout the day as well as some sf pudding, yogurt and jello. My doc said to start purees. Everytime I try something new I'm terribly sick and vomit. Eggs made me sick, a little mashed potato made me sick as well as very thin oatmeal. Am I doing this wrong? Am I eating the wrong things? Feeling down...

Would it be too early for me to have a few bites of thin mashed potatoes for thanksgiving? I will be 15 days postop? Thank you?
