I was cleared for eating anything at 3 weeks post op as long as I had 65-75 grams of Protein a day and 64 ounces of Water. At first I tolerated foods really well and did great, mostly I have been eating protein, veggies and @25 grams of carbs a day. I was never sick or felt sick and no heart burn.

However i have had a really hard time eating in recent days, I don't feel sick but things don't seem to go down well. I am told this is partly due to another health issue and my body is adjusting to the change, it seems strange that this is happening 3 weeks after the fact!

I would love to know what others consider to be their "go-to" foods , maybe I can find something I haven't tried yet that will go down easier for me.

Any feedback is appreciated

My go to is grilled chicken breast. Low cal, high protein. I also have a huge thing for Velveeta singles. 40 cals a slice and I love American cheese lol.

I found a really awesome blog by someone who had wls a few years back. In addition to a section on puréed foods, she also has a continuing section called 'A Day in My Pouch' in which she posts some amazing recipes and meal ideas:

Be careful though, it's addicting!!!

Greek yogurt, almonds ( 8-12 1x daily in yogurt when I eat it as a meal replacement), 3oz lamb or veal chops are high in Protein, turkey burgers, and meat loaf. I also sometimes have a cold cut roll up of 2oz turkey and1oz cheese. I occasionally have a Protein Shake, but do so sparingly since my pre and post op diet.

I'm am 3 weeks post op also and can eat anything soft or puréed. I'm loving ground chicken salad, eggs over easy, the avocado smoosh recipe I found on here, pintos and cheese, and sugar free Popsicles when I want to bit into something. I have also just puréed a couple of meals that my husband and son were eating and it's good too.
