Hello everyone, I am 5 weeks post op tomorrow. I have been on mushies for the pass two weeks. Protein shakes, cream of wheat, crackers, soup, yogurt, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, Popsicles, well cooked vegetables(squash and zucchini). Problem is the only things I can eat without getting gas are protein shakes, potatoes, crackers, popsicles, and squash. Tomorrow I can start having lean fish and chicken. SUGGESTION PLEASE! Tried of the gas pain! Thx Family!

I learned the hard way when i transitioned to cottage cheese, fish, etc. i was doing great with everything until i accidentally ate cottage cheese that was not low fat. it was horrible pain! soooo one thing i would recommend is keeping things low fat. fish was super easy to get down and I still love Trader Joe soups. they are so smooth in the tummy and yummy. another thing i do is add in a scoop of unflavored protein powder... or even half a scoop. you can get it at GNC. when i have a hard time getting protein down I go for Isopure clear drinks. amazing way to get down a ton of protein. the other thing that was on my list from the nutritionist for gas is simply GAS-X.
