Hello everyone tomorrow marks 3 wk post op and I have an idea what I can eat but just want to hear other people's experience around this time. What did you eat? Thanks

I was on soft foods by 3 weeks although every doctors office seems to be different. I ate a lot of yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken breast cut up very small and very juicy, fish such as salmon also not dried out, I was a,so eating cooked vegetables. I don't like canned vegetables so I either did fresh or frozen but cooked until very tender.

I remember having to take things extremely slow at that time or I would get chest pain. Every week, things will get better and better.

Good luck on the next phase of your diet.

I think I could eat scrambled eggs, toast, tuna fish, oatmeal, grits, soft cooked vegetables etc

you might be able to eat a quarter cup of food. i'd leave out the toast and oatmeal. Concentrate on Protein with maybe a bite of veggie. My nutritionist had me eating scrambled egg with a bit of salsa. That was Breakfast, Chopped up chicken with a bite of soft-cooked broccoli. lunch, etc. Also, really concentrate on getting your liquids. I eat Beans. They are easier on my stomach than eggs or meat. Good luck.

Week 3,I was eating eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, refried beans, chicken, turkey, fish and soy products. The same things that I am eating now at 5 weeks post-op. Next week, after my 6 week check up, I should be able to have veggies! I'm really looking forward to that! No starchy carbs for me until after the six month mark.
