Hi community! Hope you’re all well.

I am officially 18 days post op and I am struggling. My puréed diet is very restrictive. I can’t have eggs, tuna, cheese like many can and I’m struggling with meeting my Protein goals.

I was told not to have Protein Shakes as a liquid but as a meal. But it’s difficult to meet my liquids goal and my protein goal when I feel like I don’t have many options. These are the things I was cleared to have:

2 oz. of milk, 2 oz. of low fat or light yoghurt, protein shakes, mashed potatoes, mashed avocado, 2-3 oz. of small curd cottage cheese, hot cereals like oatmeal, cream of wheat, farina with skim milk, lentils, chick peas, tofu or Beans.< br /> Introduce all cooked vegetables (zucchini, carrots, spinach, etc.)
2 oz. of mashed fruits up to two times per day between meals as snacks

I have also hit a stall which sucks cause I’m only 2 weeks post op and I believe it may be cause I’m not meeting my protein/liquid goals.

I have also experienced dizziness and as a result I’m not walking as much as I should be. I been mostly on bed rest.

I have also been suffering with Constipation. Does anybody have any tips?

Any advice would be very helpful on how I could meet my goals or any recipes based on my diet above.

Thank you in advance 💜

Hello everyone!

I have officially received my surgery date for end of September. Im feeling excited, nervous, but most of all happy for a fresh start. I can’t believe how fast time goes by from that first appointment. With my insurance the process takes 6 months and I am already half way through!

I found out recently I had gallstones and my surgeon recommended to get my gallbladder removed. The surgery is scheduled for next month for that. I’m a tad nervous about that as well but overall very optimistic.

I’m using my time to mentally prepare myself for the change as well as be educated as much as I can about my new to be lifestyle :)
Hope you are all doing well!
Any September buddies ?!
