I need food! 7 days post op

[turbomom22 21]

I like the Unjury the best there is absolutely no chalky taste

Im 5 days post op and i felt pretty accomplished that I was able to finish an entire Premier Protein and a bottle of Water yesterday! I had a hiatal hernia so getting things down has been difficult. Just wondering if I'm behind or right where I should be, given the circumstances?!

I am 8 days post op and am going through the same thing. Only thing I have found that is remotely helpful is buying regular Soup and straining everything out of it. Beef pot roast and fajita chicken are my favorites. It's really hard and I've had some breakdowns but gotta just keep on pushing. I bought some sugar free hard candies to chew. Still have 6 more days of clears but I've found cooking things I can have next and freezing them is helping. Keeps me looking towards the next step.

Sooo, it's ok to blend up Soup in my ninja until it a broth or like gravy? I don't like my home soup that I made so I went to a quick check which is like a 7-eleven, and I put it in the ninja til it was broth or gravyish and enjoyed it. is that cool?

Sorry, I'm on day 9

Depends what kind of Soup. I just take chunky soup and put it in my strainer I would use for noodles and use the broth or sauce. I don't mix in any of the veggies or noodles or rice. They can swell up in your belly.

Oh damn. Ok. So I won't use veggies then. Just broth. I thought it wd be ok if puree'd. I read someone say they puree their Beans and mk a soup...ok bk to straight broth...

[meganliz0824 65]

I think the bean stage is for full liquids. I plan on doing that next week

I guess I question why it's a big deal with exception to your stomach healing. What little we can take in isn't nearly as much as previously.

I'm post op one week today and I feel hungry. Protein Shakes are boring me and I'm struggling to drink enough Water. The food suggestions on this chat are great. I'm going to stick to it though.

sugar free Popsicles.......

[Saturatedbygrace 4]

Thank God it not just me! I'm now 10

Days postop & I really want to chew something... Preferable not sweet!

[Author Andrea 16]

Yes, not sweet. I usually want something sweet but sheeeeesh!

[scarlep 68]

If it makes you feel any better I am four days post op and I licked (just one lick) the squash spoon!

Hahhahah the struggle

[scarlep 68]

OMG!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!! I'm 8 days in. The broth is making me nauseous. I had to start making my own broth & even that's not working. I've started apple sauce & yogurt but im tired of sweet things. What to do?

honestly I called and told them I couldn't do this anymore and they gave me an earlier appointment for the surgeon so he can advance me but I tried mashed potatoes with scramble eggs and I felt like I was in heaven

Hang in there! This is prime losing time. Go for broth or non chunky soaps with a bit of unflavored Protein Powder. Months from now this period will feel like a distance memory.

thanks i can't stand broth anymore !

Are you on soft foods/mushies? It doesn't have to be applesauce.... Thinned out refried Beans were amazeballs at that stage. Better with a little grated sharp cheddar!

Clear Liquids until Tuesday

[scarlep 68]

I HAD to chew something after my surgery. I chewed up some pickles and spit them out.

It helped.

Hahaha. Whatever works.

hahah I did that with olives and it made me feel better
