Post op 6 weeks...

[Jessica _ Stephens 12]

What was everyone eating at and after the 6 week mark? How did the food work for you? Also what we're some of your drink choices? Any information helps.

Thanks everyone!

Yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, avocado, cheese sticks, refried Beans , mashed up meatballs with some sauce and ricotta.

I pretty much only drink Water.

Sometimes I splash some Light cranberry juice in it.

Or float some lemons, limes or cucumber for flavor.

I'd agree with this but I also do a lot salmon, ground turkey, chicken (shredded), roast pork tenderloins, and black Beans. Love black beans.

I usually do one Pure Protein shake first thing in the AM to get 35g of Protein in right off the bat.

Thank you! When did anyone start drinking unsweetened tea? Or diet sodas?

I was cleared for solid foods at 4 weeks, so at 6 weeks out I usually make chicken in a sauce of some kind, a cheeseburger patty without the bun and some avocado, chili, I made some "unstuffed" cabbage the other night. I'm still leaning towards softer foods like the ground beef and chicken that can be shredded.

Thank you I've already been through soft food so I was looking for more answers like yours!

I've been upgraded to a basically regular diet. I haven't had any issues with any meats, so I'm eating chicken, pork, fish, ground beef (haven't tried steak yet). Chili is a go to for lunch. I've still been doing a shake for Breakfast. Egg salad and tuna for lunch, too.

I've been drinking Water, Propel, Vitamin Water Zero, caffeine free tea and coffee. We are discouraged from ever having carbonation. I'll be able to have caffeine again, but I can't remember what my NUT's guideline was for that.
