Question for my Postop People:

What are or were you eating 1 month out?

I was on the purred phase. Cream of wheat, Soup and skim milk with uunflavored Protein Powder. I kept it simple as I had no real desire to eat (seriously wish I could say that now). I also tried tuna fish. Even now I eat basically the same things most days.

Wow . I picked a bad time. The holidays are coming. Smh

@ I had to start my premop diet on July 4th. I also had the nerve to go to my girlfriend's BBQ. Not the smartest idea. Ten days ago after surgery I went to a baby christening that involved a sit down dinner. I still had my drain. I was not even on Protein Shakes yet and I still had a drain. I went, took my chicken broth in a stainless steel travel mug and drank bottled Water. I actually enjoyed myself. Point is, I'm three months out today and none of that matters now. You will be fine for the holidays. Just sip your water and broth, and smile.

I was transitioning from pureed to soft foods at 1 month. Greek yogurt, refried Beans, eggs, cream Soups with added Protein powder, mashed potatoes with added protein powder, tuna, cheese, Protein Shakes, deviled ham, spam, Peanut Butter, high protein/whole grain oatmeal, soft cooked veggies, peaches, mangos, bananas.

But what does your surgeon's postop diet have planned at 1 month?

I'm on regular foods at one month out. I'm slowly introducing tougher meats though. eggs & chicken are still giving me problems. Continuing with a lot of fish & Soups just because they go down easier.
