Post-op week 5 & need food options

Hi everyone,

I'm in week 5 and I've been trying several new foods in all types of textures but I'm bored and don't know what to eat anymore. I want to eat healthy but I don't know where to start. Things like eggs, yogurt, baby food and sugar free jell-o are making me sick. I learned the hard way that ice cream, potatoe chips, diet soda and spicy food and spicy seasonings don't work well for me. I'm living off of ensure and crackers these days. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tilapia is so soft and goes down really easily for me. I've been loving stir fry that I make saucy. The sauce helps lube the protein so it settles well. Eggplant parmesan was devine. Soup! I don't know, sorry. I was able to eat mostly anything by 5 weeks, but I remember those settling well and tasting really good to me.

I have been having fresh mozzarella for a snack! Usually about two slices, and I drizzle balsamic vinegar over them - yum! I am 6 weeks out, and this snack leaves me feeling very full, and has protein!

Good luck,

Jen

I like sardines, deli lunchmeat with cheese, egg salad, scrambled eggs with cheese, rotisserie chicken, sashimi, pretty much anything that isn't pork or red meat sits well with me.
