I'd love to hear from those who've been there. For my program, the "high protein soft diet" is followed from 2 weeks after surgery until the 6 week follow up appointment. The rationale for the diet is that the stomach is still irritable and healing, so we're taking it easy on the poor thing.

What were your "go to" recipes during this time?

What were the worst things you tried to eat - either due to taste, texture, or digestive upset?

I love spicy food. Did y'all avoid it completely?

Thanks!

I ate a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt and hummus. I had spicy Indian tomato soup week one....not my best idea...didn't sit well. By the end of week 2, I was eating panang curry without problem. Spice is going to be trial and error.

i also did Vsg...so it may be different for bypass. Good luck.

Over 9 months out and cottage cheese is still my best friend...lol. I also ate a lot of eggs, I could have tuna and white fish on my soft foods diet, so there was a lot of that as well.
