I am 1 month post op and I feel like all I eat is slushy slop. When will it ever feel normal to eat normal foods without fear of creating a leak! I don't feel human eating this way.

DO don;t eat mushy slop. Eat real foods that are soft.

Make Ricotta cheese and sauce with mozzarella on top. Microwave for a minute or put in oven and there ya go. dinner.

Hang in there, it only feels like forever. :-)

I was able to move to soft foods by my 6th week. My meals consisted mainly of chicken run through a food processor and refried beans, sometimes I'd make a little chicken salad. So it never really felt like I was eating soupy foods all the time. But after 3 weeks, I never was concerned about causing a leak.

How about eggs?

Hello. I am 4 weeks post op. What exactly are you eating? I was cleared for soft foods a week ago. I eat things like: eggs, egg salad, chicken salad, guacamole, hummus, sweet potatoes, baked/mashed potatoes, deli lunch meats and cheeses, string cheese, yogurt, beans (baked and refried), fish (salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi), crab, shrimp, bacon, brisket w/ a little bbq sauce, lasagna without the pasta, the inside of an eggroll, rib meat, green beans, cooked carrots, etc... There are tons of options out there - I just make sure whatever I am eating is moist/soft and has some nutritional value. I always look for protein first and then if I am still hungry, maybe a bite of something else. Be creative! Good luck!

Girl, u just made me so READY for thursday to come....I will then be on soft foods & u just named EVERYTHING I love. Thank u in advance

I ate my pig slop with glee! (Yes I puréed chicken)

I think I may have skipped the whole puree thing... my nut told me soft food like chicken cooked soft, beans eggs etc... yeah.. and as long as you pay attention to it and dont do a lot of super high in salt, fat and sugar things then you will still shed the weight... i had to cut mayonaiise because it was making me nauseous... I think after a month you pretty much just pay attention to what works and what doesnt work.
