My husband is 4 weeks post op and having trouble with most solid protein.

We've tried canned chicken, eggs in all forms, most cooking methods of pork and beef.

He handles cheese well... but that can't be his sole food source.

Any suggestions for non liquid protein sources?

Don't rush it. He will be able to eat solid proteins, but some people take longer than others.

Feed him what he can eat and try new things every once in a while. If they don't work, wait two weeks and try again. This isn't a race. I still can't eat roast beef or pork. But at four weeks I lived off fresh fish.

my doctor strictly recommends staying away from pork or beef for a while, like 3 months. Try fish, talapia or salmon, crab cakes,Tuna and Avacado, ect...

Tuna was a Godsend in the first few weeks on solids.

I have been craving tuna, salmon and Hummus....Cant wait to get to puree stage...

My doc says if having a hard time on solid proteins try the liquid for a couple of more days & then try again
