Im into my 2 week post-op and Im getting very bored and antsy !! I want to CHEW !! need some ideas.

Thanks

It is difficult to get that "chew" at 2 weeks out. I was only allowed liquids plus greek yogurt, scrambled egg whites or cottage cheese that you could actually chew to liquid form before swallowing. Not many food choice items during this stage.

I'm now in Stage 4 where I can have solid Proteins but, still no carbs, fruit or veggies. Chewing chicken to liquid form takes some time for sure. I am allowed mash potatoes or mashed sweet potato but, only if I meet my Protein requirements for the day first. Thats my only carb allowed right now.

I can not have any eggs, mashed potatoes etc until this coming wed.( can't wait !!) just getting bored with my cream Soup, sf pudding and yogurt !! I know I can do it, its just really rough !!

thanks

Oh it's definitely harder when the menu is limited. I'm looking forward to having options myself. Keep up the good work irshangel! You can do it!

Try hewing ice. It is crunchy, and you are getting your liquids in. I found that sonic drive in ice is the best!

Yes I have had many sugar free icees since for awhile I had to have my Water very cold or frozen or u got sick to my stomach!! Yummy yummy but never had Sonic brand I really mined to check them out

I hope I did this right. I have attached a snapshot of what I could eat at stage 3 besides the full liquids. Hope this helps. My doc said that I could start at day 10 post surgery.

I am glad to be of help. :-) make sure you buy the low fat cheese because if not then it might cause diarrhea due to high fat content (that happened to me).

I haven't tried laughing cow cheese yet. That us probably the next thing I will try. I don't thing it should be a problem if you are able to eat cheese . I'll let you know if I end up trying it.

I love laughing cow cheese! It's creamy so

It goes down nice!

I have become addicted to the little round Babybel Light cheese !!! 6 grams of protein each and so good !!!
