Newbie here, surgery was 4/1. Had terrible mostly uncontrollable retching and vomiting for 24 hours after surgery, spooked me. I'm back to full liquid diet, but after 10 days pre-op liquid diet am looking forward to pureed food soon. But I am also still spooked from my recovery period. Any good (bland?) suggestions for right off the full liquids?

I think most people do pretty well with Greek yogurt. I might start out with all natural just because artificial sweeteners and flavors can be a bit hard on the tummy. You are eating so little now that the extra calories in all natural yogurt won't hurt you IMO.

I agree that yogurt would be a good place to start. Also mashed potatoes and thin cream of wheat.

I'm just curious because I keep seeing mashed potatoes suggested by others. If were supposed to have Protein how can we be allowed to have mashed potatoes??

You don't need to worry about protein just yet. Mashed potatoes, ceam of wheat, applesauce, yogurt, cottage cheese. Are you drinking any Protein drinks? I drink a Premier Protein every day for Breakfast even at 8 months post op...start my day with 30 grams of protien.

@@hopeful2loose2014 @ seems like every surgeon has a different plan. My surgeon's team does not allow mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, or applesauce on purees -- only protein-rich foods. I'm still not allowed potatoes or grains of any sort (including cream of wheat) until I hit maintenance. I think every poster should follow the dietary guidelines from their own medical team.
