I have some questions 4 newly post op patients.

How does, rice n noodles go down after surgery. My Dr. Said those usually give ppl hard times. And what about lettuce like greens and shell fish. Has anyone tried wine or anything yet. How about steak. What do you guys have problems with.

I was feeling the same way with regret but now that I am finally able to eat some things and have more choices it is better. The isopures do not taste like Protein drinks' date=' more like gatoraide.

Have you tried purée cottage cheese. It worked for me and was on my full liquid list. I also like the sunkist protein shots grape flavor. Taste like grape real grape not the fake taste.[/quote']

Ok I will try them. I don't like cottage cheese. Where do you get the protein shots from.

Has anyone had trouble with thin liquids? I absolutley love water and 1% milk but everytime I sip even the smallest sip, I feel pain. I'm on my 3rd day out so I'm wondering if it is just because my stomach is still brand new. However, I can handle cream of wheat and tomato soup well.

Right after my surgery I had the same problem lasted about a week. Everytime I would drink anything my pouch would hurt. I just kept sipping and it did get better.

That's good to know. I tried popsicles and they work awesome.

I tried canned chicken tonight with mayo fresh garlic, minced onions, and chopped boiled egg. It went really well. Really would have loved a few crackers with it but I was full to fast.

YAY!!! I'm so happy you can get some chicken down. I had my blood drawn today and they said my Protein levels are dangerously low right now.

Chicken, turkey, eggs, extra lean ground beef, potatoes, squash, green beans, tomatoes, zucchini, strawberries, frozen yogurt, these are a few things that don't seem to hurt.
