Hello Sleevers,

I have my surgery scheduled sometime in January. My doctor said he will keep me on IV for 4 days to prevent leaks. So I won't be eating anything much the first week.

Can someone suggest second week food to me. What have you guys been having. And if possible share pics.

Thanks a bunch!!!

This is not week 2 per se, but I find a couple of thin slices of fresh ginger root in chicken, beef and vegetable broth to be most delicious and wonderful. Of course the ginger isn't eaten.

You should be given details about what you can eat during each stage. Every surgeon is so different you really have to just wait and see what they tell you.

Most people go from Clear liquids to full liquids (Protein shakes, Soups, I was allowed yogurt)

Then people go to pureed foods and then soft foods. I have been eating a scrambled egg daily for a while now.

It varies so much from surgeon to surgeon it's hard to make suggestions for you.

As long as it's allowed on your plan soup has been great for me at this stage. I started with beef or chicken broth and once I was on purees I switched to creamy soups. I love the roasted red pepper and tomato soup from Trader Joes. I melt a little asiago cheese in it. When I wanted something a little thicker I tried grits and they were really good. I make protein shakes in the morning with almond milk and chocolate protein powder and greek yogurt. This morning I added a little PB2.
