Im wondering where everyone is at a month out food wise. What are you eating daily? What are your calories? how do you feel?

At 4 weeks, I'll be able to start adding beans, fish, nuts and seafood.

Week 5, I can add chicken and turkey.

Week 6, I can add pork and beef.

Hey there. I'm 4 weeks Monday. If you go to my blog (see my signature) you can actually see my food logs (link on left once at blog).

I'm currently eating refried Beans, cheese, and mashed avocado as I type

I feel great. Struggling more with Water now that I'm having more "meals" not just shakes, and wanting to get up to 600-700 calories instead of my current 550.

I moved to the soft diet stage (4 weeks post op through 6 weeks from date of surgery) and I'm still there. I'm eating scrambled eggs, oatmeal, cream of wheat, tuna salad, egg salad, baked fish, the inside of a baked potato, well cooked rice or Pasta, thin shaved deli meat, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, well cooked vegetables, and soft casseroles like tuna noodle casserole, enchiladas, and lasagna. I'm allowed soft fresh fruit (no peels, large seeds or membranes like an orange) but tend to mostly eat bananas. For dairy I stick to 2% milk, low fat yogurt, and cottage cheese.

Portion size is hovering around 1/3 cup total per meal. If I try to eat more than that at one sitting, I'll feel pain. My calorie count averages around 350/day.

I make the big switch to a regular texture diet next Thursday, June 21.

it is amazing to see how everyone's diets difffer. i will be 3 weeks out thursday. at 1 week out i started the soft foods. can have 2 tbsps of any kind of meat/fish/poultry as long as it isn't a potted meal. it is supposed to be pureed but doing that it has no taste. so i make sure i cut it up really small and chew, chew, chew. vegies and fruits have to be mashable. good luck everyone with their diets!

I'm at one month today, and I'm allowed all protine in normal form as long as I chew it up good. I've been eating chicken, beef, fish, pork, cheese, cottage cheese, shaved deli meat, refried beans, milk, etc. In another week I can start some fruits and mashable veggies. My calories average about 600-700/day.
