So as the tittle says… I’m having trouble eating do to being bloated when ever I try. Have even tried soup no dice. Any one have any ideas on how to eat, when I’ve not really eaten anything past a spoonful?

Don’t know how to delete

I’m nearing the 3weeks myself. I had an issue with puréed food for a few days when I first started the puréed diet. I had to go a few bites every 2 hours and compensate it with 1 1/2 oz of protein shake. Now my system is saying it’s fine it’s even had non puréed (but highly chewed) chilli just fine. I suggest trying around. I still can’t handle chicken very well but I can beef and fish. Remember every body is different. Do not be afraid to ask your team the question either. My doctor didn’t tell me the actual amount they removed either just an estimate of 2/3rds before the surgery.

Oh I get full on 1/4-1/2 cup of food some things hit me heavier and others hit real light.

I didn’t eat it in all one sitting but through out the day. I’ve been having hunger issues. I still have 5oz of the dinner left. I didn’t say I was portioning the puree out because I got lazy to type it all.

It’s home made with filtered pulp for me and it’s only stevia. It turned out quite nice. I just got moved to puréed food today at my one week post op vist and am doing fine with eating 1/4th cup of chicken salad finely shredded and then really well chewed. Sits heavy though.

You’re not alone I’m 6 days post op and every time my parents cook I’m absolutely starving. Things I never even actually like smell absolutely appetizing. To get through them eating in front of me I put on had phones and try and block them out. (They keep eating in the damn living room)

Hello I had my surgery on the 20th my meal plan for thanksgiving is a 7oz puréed thanksgiving meal a single mashed sweet potato(not all of it),1/4th cup of a berry cobbler filling and some chicken salad puréed. Will have the same exact meals the next day and the day after…. My loving dad bought 7 of those boxed puréed dinners. Go me!

I have a caffeine limit it’s about as much caffeine in hot chocolate, I am allowed hot chocolate which is wonderful with winter coming up. I find green tea off putting in taste but I drink matcha for its benefits.

Hello I’m getting close to having my surgery just waiting on insurance clearance. I’m a daily matcha drinker and I understand that I’ll have to stop caffeine after surgery (coffee and high volume teas) I was wondering if any one could suggest a brand of match powder that is in the lower end of caffeine that I could introduce myself to at a low low serving size a month or so after my surgery. I understand that I may not even be able to tolerate an ounce of the drink but I want to at lest try before I say no never happening again. I also sweeten my teas with stevia so the sugar content is on the low end.
