My surgeon gave me an entire binder of information and post up diet stuff. There's examples of food for all stages except the puréed food. It only says "applesauce texture". Could someone please give me some exames?

My doctor or nutritionist have said nothing about tomatos causing ulcers. I have been drinking tomato Soup during my "full liquids" phase. It's blowing my mind how many different recovery diets we are all on.

Where do they come up with these guidelines?!

I agree, it's crazy how many different plans there are depending on who the surgeon is. Some people go home from the hospital eating puree food or some I've seen say they're eating "soft foods", I was on clear liquids until my 1 week post op follow up appt, then I could go on "full liquids" for 2 weeks, (which is up this weekend). I've never been told anything about tomato based products either. One of the recipes in my binder of info is for ground turkey pureed up with chunk free spaghetti sauce, or chicken breast pureed up with bbq sauce. I guess we just all need to follow what our own surgeon says and have to have the faith that they know what they're doing! lol

My surgeon is the same one week clear liquids, one week full liquids and staring week three (Wednesday) I get to puréed. Yee ha!

Suggestion for this phase... La Madelline's tomato bisque REDUCED FAT soup is wonderful! Just make sure it's the reduced fat. That's about 150 calories per cup. All you need is a cup of it, it's very filling. Egg salad is good too.. you can blend it if you want.

And I woulda DIED if I couldn't have had milk for 6 months and had to do the shakes... so I would seriously ask your dr. about that guideline IssacsGram.

And IDK on the tomatoes causing ulcers but ask your dr.'s is all I can suggest.

Best of luck! xx Stephanie
