How long was it before you ate any kind of meat after surgery? I am in phase three of my doctor's diet plan it tells me I could have tuna, fish, chicken meats like this and I am only 16 days out, I would love to know if anyone else could eat those meats at that stage.

Thanks in advance.....

Have a blessed and wonderful day!!!!

2 oz per meal. 6 oz per day. Yes, I am a wimp in the face of 6 oz food. That's why. Easier to fast than eat a little bit

@ReallyRosy, once you start on the dense Proteins (particularly the meat) you won't be bothered by 2 oz per meal. I was amazed at how full I felt after 2 oz! I'm at 4 oz now and sometimes can't finish that (I usually do 2-3 oz meat and then an oz or so of veggies) - I make sure I eat slow and savor the food, and also make sure to really eat things that are seasoned well and have lots of flavor. That helps with the mindset of not having a LOT of food on my plate.

Another good trick is to make sure you serve your meals on a very small plate (I actually use a small saucer) and I "fill" my plate like I used to pre-op - so it looks like a nice serving even though it's pretty tiny.

Yes! I bought LibbyLs taster desert footed bowls holds 2 oz and small taster forks and spoons. That helps, but I think there is a disconnect between my mouth and my stomach because I can feel something and still think if I swallow this, I will feel better...but I don't. Need to learn the signal but it eludes me each evening. I did better today during the day, tho. Well, tomorow I get to try again.
