I am almost 3 weeks post op. I have not had issues with anything foods. However I made the ricotta bake that’s posted on Pinterest. I took 2 bites and I cause an uncomfortable sensation in my chest. I drank a little Water to see it that would help but it did not. I did not continue eating. I walked around and the feeling passed. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Yes you should still be on soft if its bothering you and i didnt go to solid until 4 at 3 weeks im 6 weeks and still can barely eat solid solid food

the recipe said that this was for puréed/ soft diet. It’s just ricotta, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and marinara.

Skip whatever bothers you i still cant eat marinara tomatoes is a bit too acidy for this time everyone is different

We all heal and tolerate foods differently. I could not handle cheese other than 2% cottage until about the 4th week I think? Or at least 3 1/2wks. I'm 6 weeks today and STILL haven't tried the ricotta bake. Think it would sit like a brick.

Certain foods will be tricky for different people. Fish (the softest meat) would sit in my chest and give me awful discomfort, chicken salad would pass just fine. You'll have to experiment a little and see what works for you.

This is correct. Don't judge all foods by your reaction to this one, just try new things and if they give you trouble back off them for now.

The sensation of pressure can also be caused by eating too quickly, taking too big of a bite, or not chewing each bite thoroughly. Be aware of how quickly you are eating as well.

Its something I’ve had to work on as a fast eater.

Oh! Nice point! I'd been forgetting that!
