Simple pen and paper or the phone note app gives me more flexibility for tracking the burning could be acidity but best to check with your surgeon

Had mine on 5 June and transitioned to soft stage on 27 - I was hungry first week post op but the restriction kicks in asap you transition and you are full after two teaspoons

Using this agree it’s the best of the lot so far

Which brand?

WOW! Black?

For my prog it’s the general guidelines rather than individual I guess. I have a Nespresso and k cup machine - the only decaf option in Nespresso is level 6-8 intensity haven’t found any palatable k cups any suggestions?

Can’t stomach premier protein after op - any recommendations?

Relieved to hear that. Any tips for meeting nutritional guidelines - I am not very good at cooking. So my post op soft food day looks like protein water chicken mince (2-3oz) hummus or some Greek yogurt and a bite or canned peach so far

My prog allowed decaf 3 weeks post op but many warn against it due to impact on nutrient absorption healing and acidity What’s your experience?

My Surgeon said itching denotes healing and not to put anything on it

Which protein powder did you use?

Egg salad sounds nice any recipe please ?

I do like beans - how did you make the tuna and chicken salad?

Oooh love how you describe it - I start day after tomorrow and am excited although a little apprehensive too on how it goes down stuff like would I throw up? Can my stomach digest it ok and a gazillion other what ifs which SF syrup brand do you use? I like caramel and hazelnut but haven’t tried any so any suggestions would be very welcome my prog has a post op liquid diet inc cream based soups and then goes straight to soft so no puree stage per se no crackers bread pasta rice in soft food otherwise the faux toast sounds yum

What else are you having ? I start soft on three days

Oooh that’s so on the cards but what else?

Thanks much i was having profess before and some of these sound amazing more soft food ideas would be very welcome - basically am allowed eggs, soft cheese, all seafood except shrimp and ground meat plus non starchy veggies

Starting 26 and can’t wait - allowed decaf tea and coffee as tolerated - what’s your experience with coffee? How did you make profee? What was a days eating like to wean off shakes and switch to food like? How was the first bite?

My program gave me An abdominal binder with a Velcro close to tighten as I wajted Wearing it snug for the first five days helped me ommeneely just allow some airtime to allow sweat to dry

Is this normal for everyone or specific to any age group or ppl who have to anti clot meds post op?

Yes definitely waiting - wonder how long when I can have it

It’s allowed within my plan, both pre and post op as long as it’s non caffeinated but wanted to know others experience and if I should hold off

My program allows both but hesitant about trying about three weeks post op.any experience ?

Any particular flavor other than broccoli
