I'm 10 days post op and my surgeon isn't very helpful as to what my diet should look like. At my follow-up on day 8 he said I could move to a "transitional diet" and gave me a sheet of paper that says I can now eat things like eggs, refried Beans, tuna, chili, reduced fat cheese, anything that can be easily be broken up with a fork. His nurse said I don't have to "do" purees, per se, just to take my time getting to the soft stuff. 60g of Protein, no or low carb, less than 10g of fat per day, 64+ ounces of Water per day, okay. So what could I do here? I've had zero issues getting my fluids in since day one. I've tried unsweetened applesauce, thinned out refried beans, and refried beans with taco sauce (YUM!) with no issues. Are soy products okay, like tofu or meat substitutes? What about barley? As far as chili, I was under the impression that meats were pretty much verboten until the solid or "full" food phase, or am I mistaken? I thought I was prepared but he's really thrown me for a loop. My next follow-up appointment is a month from now.
