I'm almost 2weeks post op & I'm supposed to be on a purree / soft food diet but i literally have to force myself to eat, its horrible. I could drink Water alll day and not eat anything and be fine with it. One thing that does concern me is that all i crave / want are limes and hotsause. Any suggestions?

I too did not like food right after surgery, I had to set a alarm to remind myself to eat. That will pass... I love your craving Limes and hot sauce:) I probably would not use either one of them at this point but further down the road I'm sure you can. Lots of strange feelings, cravings etc. happen after surgery. I stuck to what my surgeon wanted me to eat and I got thru it. I got ALL my protein and water in daily that was my main goal until I was on regular food. Talk to your surgeon or nutritionist.

Thankssssss! I try to eat but it doesn't come to me i just dnt wanna eat maybe ill start.introducing littlr by little

I stick to three meals a day plus protein even if I can eat just a few ounces. For me I just want to stay in a good meal mode...but some days it's hard.

I agree with doodle. I would hold off on the strong acid of lines and hot sauce. However I love having lime I. My water and I have read it is good for you. You might try a little in your water to see.

As for cravings - I can't get enough Asian food, and seem to be able to tolerate spicer things.

I craved salsa after having the sweet taste of shakes for so long. I pureed it in damn near everything. Spice doesn't bother me, but I know some can't tolerate it.

I find it weird how we crave certain things after surgery. Mine was anything mint and BBQ sauce. 2 things I really didn't care for before surgery. I've gotten over the mint but I still use BBQ sauce.
