[Illuminated 4]

I heard it takes a good 3 months for your stomach to fully heal

After 2wks I'm allowed soft foods..I tried for the 1st time yesterday yogurt and 1 bite of boil egg and it was nasty! I tried crackers with some chicken salad that was ok..turkey cheese on wheat crackers was the best only cam enjoy three but I'm back to my Protein Shakes (yummy) tomorrow I'm going to go get watermelon and cantolupe! Prior to 2wks I was just drinking my yummy Protein, sf Jello and Popsicles, 100% sf apple juice and grape juice (dilated 1/2 w/water) I couldnt wait to eat soft foods so tomorrow I'm cooking some homemade Beans w/ground beef or turkey sausage. Yes u can eat grits and mash or back potatoes with lf or fat free toppings. I can't wait to be able to gulp down some cold OJ or flavored juices

Mine too. And I'm still mad about the mashed potatoes and grits. Go State must be southern, no one else likes grits!

Try taking refried Beans or black Beans and purée them with Water until liquid. Having something savory helped me get through the liquid phase until I could start mushy.

What? grits are great. However, I don't think I will be getting any of those anytime soon. I'm more than a week from mushies and In;t sure where my doc stands on them. I may have to find out.

[Geechee Girl 9]

Max, I'm from the south and would love nothing more than to have a bowl of grits. I'm mad bc my Dr. said no corn. That means no grits.

I had surgery 7/31... My doc says liquid for 21days ... I have been trying different Soups like butternut squash and Thai coconut Tomato. Also had cream of chicken but had to strain out the bits and my yummy nectar Protein Shakes (holding sarcasm sign)

I'm 12 days out and still doing liquids. Protein Shakes, G2, Water, Popsicles, and crystal light. I ate like 3 grapes yesterday they went down find.

[lovelyladynhouston 26]

I really want some grits but I like grits with sugar!! So I guess it's best to stay away from grits. For now

5 day post-op, you'll probably think I'm crazy but I have a baby tsp of scramble eggs yesterday. Then all my family got together and they ordered pizza for the kids. I got a lil slice and would chew the heck out of it, then spit it out!!! Pizza never tastes so good. I'm done with the protien drinks and Jello does anyone know what would happen if we did eat a piece of food down our throats? Good luck

[Geechee Girl 9]

AlwaysSeating, I think the Dr. Are concerned that our stomachs aren't healed yet. That's why the say no food. Also, as sick as I am of shakes, I will drink them so my hair doesn't fall out. That's a risk I cannot take!

You weren't told what could happen? This makes me nuts. Your stomach could develop a leak and it could kill you, if you are unlucky, and if you're lucky it will only require another surgery, which while you wait for that will also include you spitting up bile regularly. This isn't something to experiment with.
