I am ten days post op and doing great, I have experienced some head hunger but nothing that I can't control. However I am sick of cream soups and protein drinks already. Will be two weeks post op on Tuesday . What are you guys consuming at two weeks? Seriously need a change. Suggestions anyone? ????

My NUT said I could go on "pureed/super mushy" foods. I've had instant mashed potatoes with gravy (the kind in a packet that you add Water to), refried Beans, applesauce, oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, tuna salad (tuna with LF Mayo), scrambled eggs, chicken salad (canned chicken with LF Mayo), poached eggs, any kind of Soup (as long as I puree it), any vegetable (except corn) cooked soft and blended.

I've done well with this, but just take it slow and take baby bits and wait a few minutes between bites.

All of that sounds DELICIOUS and my nut gave me the same diet but at day 22.. I wonder why they all differ so much.. Do you purée ur veggies in a blender or do you use a food processor?

My coworker made a wonderful breakfast for the squad this morning.. French toast beef sausage and scrambled eggs.. Without asking if I'd like any she sat en enormous plate of food in front me. I just stared at it while everyone else ate. When she came over I foolishly ate a few bites of the eggs so she wouldn't feel bad. The eggs are stuck in my throat and I feel foolish and miserable. Let's not forget I'm only 11 days post op... Ugh.. Maybe I should just come out the closet about my sleeve.

I use a blender on some things, and for the veggies I just cook them super soft, and then use a fork to sort of mash them up. I also love eggs. I eat them scrambled or fried. Again, I use a fork to mush them up.

Well today I was so excited and fulfilled when I ate! I had beef soup not stew. It was absolutely delicious.

Boil beef short ribs with salt and chunks of onion two cloves of garlic let boil for about 45-60 min

Add in potatoe, carrots, zucchini, and tomatoes, ( cabbage if you like)

Make sure it has enough flavor or add in more salt or garlic salt and cilantro

Let it boil and serve.

Obviously I only had a bit or two of meat, a zucchini piece and a few carrots. I mushed them up. I saved the Broth and had some shortly after. This is a family meal for those cozy days.
