Oops! Post op

What stage are you in at 6 weeks out? It varies from doctor to doctor what they allow you to eat.

are you on soft foods still or moving ahead to more solids? Let us know and maybe we can help

I can have seafood everything except shrimp and the the other liquid diet stuff

My husband's favorite food is smoked salmon. Also, in the freezer section there is cajun salmon (my favorite, not too spicy) frozen in pieces, and you microwave it a few minutes. We buy it at Sam's Wholesale Club. He thinly slices the smoked into small pieces for his dinner a lot. You can buy the smoked in the grocery store but in small packages. You can also buy frozen and bake or grill it. If seafood is all you can eat, you can choose any fish and broil or bake it. At six weeks we were allowed turkey chili, and it is simple to make, or a lot of people buy it at Wendys. I love refried beans, and you can buy them in the grocery store and heat them with a little Laughing Cow cheddar cheese melted on top. I do not cook any meals anymore, except something like chili, and I freeze it for small meals. You cannot eat that much anyway. We are just 8 weeks post op and we eat a lot of different things now, but like someone said, your doctor might have different rules. We share a small low fat hamburger patty with zucchini for a meal. We eat a boiled egg for breakfast. We have half a premier chocolate shake at lunch. We are older than you so we are not having to keep that energy going as much. You can keep posting on this thread and asking questions, and it will come to my email. I will try to guide you a little better next time. Good luck! Linda

Thank you for the ideas, I know when I go back to the Dr in 2weeks I will be allowed to have that good stuff y'all eat

My husband and I this past week bought 2 small filet mignons. I cooked them both, and we shared one and could not eat the other. They are the most tender cut of meat, and since you cannot eat much anyway, might as well have the best. Price was $10 for two, but high priced per pound. Keep that in mind when you are allowed to have a little meat, they are tender. Mostly I buy ground turkey and make patties with that. I have some turkey sausage patties, and I cooked them in Pam spray, and then chopped them into crumbles. We can eat 1 scrambled egg, and I put about a teaspoon in and scramble the egg. Look up foods that are proteins and plan your meals with them.
