At what point would you be able to eat it? I'm 2 weeks post op today. Down 11 lbs since surgery total lost is 29 lbs.

It's usually when you progress to full liquids. I am techinically allowed to eat it but our nutritionist advises against says it's still has too many carbs - I am suppose to eat only things that have 6 or less carbs but even the yogurt has 15 grams. I'm confused as heck about all this.

I'm onto puréed I'm not sure if that is full liquids. I would assume it is. I guess I could try a little but n c what happens.

Technically I can have it since I progressed to full liquids last week. I have not had it, out of fear that it will not sit right in my tummy. My 2 week follow up with the doc and nut is tomm. I am hoping the nut can provide me with a list of stages and foods. I feel like I am just existing on broth, jello, popsicles, and water. The protein drinks are the worst part, I barely get 25 grams in per day, if that. My nut is very easy going and allows any food after 2 weeks as long as you can tolerate it. I know every doc is different, but such a drastic inconsistency scares me! On the plus side, I'm basically pain free! It's getting better day by day...

Thank you. I work in the morning and won't have time to make an egg so I was gonna do cream of wheat. However I found this recipe for scrambled eggs in microwave and only takes 45 seconds

My nut said the same as yours. I can have any foods after two weeks as long as I can tolerate it. After reading all the posts here I am as confused as you. I just wanted you to know there was someone who got the same information as you.

Thanks Debi, I see all the posters with the same date of Surg, still on liquids! I just got home from my appt and here are examples of foods approved for me at 2.5 weeks out:

Shrimp cocktail, chili of any kind,meatballs,eggplant,chicken/tuna/crab salad, tomato sauces and soups,veggie burgers, peaches,bananas and canned fruits.

Kind of shocking, because from what I have read this sounds like the 6 week post op diet! Oh well, I will follow the instructions of my Doc and Nut. :-)

It sounds like you have my list of what I can have. I just hope this isn't the reason I'm having what seems to be, to me, slower weight loss. Again, if you have problems drop back to the liquid diet.

In all honesty, I am scared to death to move to this food phase! I had some mashed tuna, that I blended into a paste consistency, with no mayo and TMI, I was in pain doubled over vomiting and had diarrhea all last night. For lunch today, I tried a soft scrambled egg... Same reaction, I had to run to the potty! Ugh. I hope this gets better, as of now the only thing I can tolerate is liquid. Thanks for the encouragement and support. I appreciate it.

Oh and Furby, thanks for letting me hijack the thread! :-)

No problem

Cream of wheat settles my tummy and goes down wery well, I've had great luck with it as long as I thin it out with a little skim milk

Do you add anything to the cream of wheat for flavou?

Nope, just skim milk. I figure at this point I don't care about flavor, just trying to get some liquids in while trying to feel somewhat full. I guess if you need to you can add a packet of Splenda or something.

Good answer thanks

Youre eating C.o.w.? No problems? Ive tried a little cottage cheese, like 1/4 cup, a few times, I have to chew it very slow. It takes away the pangs in my tummy
