hello,

Well those who don't know I just got my surgery May 3 of this year. So far so good down 15lbs not sure if that is good or bad. I'm on week 5 and I don't know exactly what to eat. Everytime I eat something I just feel this pain going down my chest. Then I get over it. I have tried shredded chicken, tuna and so far nothing good. I have ate chips which I know what am I thinking. I only at 2 and that went so smooth. Help I don't know what foods to eat and is the pain normal.

Did your doctor give you a list? My surgery was May 8 and I'm now on soft foods until June 16. Here is what I can have. My faves are refried beans with a sprinkle of cheese and string cheese.

I had surgery 5/2. For week 5 I am on soft, ground, moist food. However I've had trouble advancing so I'm going very slow. At this stage I can have any ground meat, tuna/chicken/ ham salad, some fruits as long as they are moist. I can't start trying raw veggies until week 6. Right now my meal plan looks like this:
Breakfast: premier protein shake
Snack: Greek yogurt
Lunch: protein soup
Snack: a couple slices of cheese
Dinner: half of a chicken sausage and 1/4 cup of potato


I've had a hard time tolerated veggies so I haven't had much but try to get them in my soup. I'm looking forward to when I can have a salad with some grilled chicken on it but given how hard of a time I've had advancing, it may be a bit.
