Ruthie how long did it take you to be able to eat soft food without pain?

About a month after surgery I started eating regular food (doctor approved) I was fine no pain. The only time I actually felt pain is about a month ago I had lettuce and felt I guess not pain but very uncomfortable feeling in my tummy.

I Only ate what was recommended such as Proteins first then everything else follows. Of course after 2 bites I was full and had no room for anything else.

I use Premier Protein chocolate. It is really good. I get it at BJs but I heard GNC carries it too

Don't rush it. Take your time and listen to your body when you do eat. I know it's hard with the Protein shakes. My doc actually doesn't want me drinking them anymore.

I eat a lot of tilapia. I love it and it has lots of protein. I squeeze lime on it and a little salt and pepper. chicken is good too. I love getting tandoori chicken cause it's very tender and easier to eat. A slow cooker is great it makes all meat softer and easier to eat.

I also eat hamburger no bun. I make it myself of course I weigh it out make sure I'm eating 2 oz (pretty much all I can eat of red meat) I don't like red meat very much buy I do enjoy hamburger
