What are some foods that are able to be eaten(not the common ones like jello pudding baby food) I found this list and didn’t know how accurate it was for the meats.. The ones it says you just have to smash with a fork mainly.

Did your surgeon give you a specific list of purees you should eat? I have 2 stages of purees, bland purees for one week, then advanced purees for another week. Cream if Rice didn't sit well with me. I pureed refried beans with a little broth. Delicious. I can also eat ricotta cheese, plain Greek yogurt. Soon I'll add hummus, cottage cheese, and pureed boiled egg.

I've done soup. Some baby food. Refried beans, mashed potatoes, chopped broccoli, a deviled egg (which didn't agree with me), scrambled eggs.

My plan had puréed stage and a soft foods stage. A lot of things on this list I wasn’t able to have until the soft foods stage . Can you contact your surgeons office? Your nut should be able to at least email you a list of acceptable foods for your stage

That looks like the list I got from my doctor, but no red meat on mine. And I'm allowed beans, lentils and tofu pureed.

He only gave me sample meals didn’t give me a list of food that can be eaten. So I’ve been sticking to what’s on the sample menus. But he should be in today I’m going to call and ask thank you ?

You should be able to tolerate those protein sources, e.g. beans, pureed. Your body will regurgitate what you shouldn’t have 90% of the time anyway but the safest bet to avoid any leaks is as similar to the diet provided as possible, if you choose other items not on the list.

I just tried cod and started feeling really sick went to the restroom and got sick(small amounts) 3 times and the last time there was a pain in my tummy and a weird burning sensation. I haven’t gotten sick since the surgery and didn’t know if that feeling was normal or if there’s a chance if a leak.

I just haven’t gotten sick in YEARS. So I honestly don’t even remember if that’s a normal feeling for someone who hasn’t had the surgery let alone being just a couple days short of three weeks post op. Just kinda worried me since the weird burning and pain sensation. It still burns almost like acid reflux but lower in my stomach instead of being in my chest.

I can tell you what I eat. I am 3 weeks out in soft foods stage one.

Breakfast: 42grams oikos triple zero and 15 grams of unflavored protein powder

Mid morning: protein shake boosted with protein powder so around 50 grams

Lunch: I made lentil soup and boosted it with high protein tofu. I pureed it in my high-speed blender - so similar to refried beans in texture

Dinner: low sodium deli turkey with a tsp of low fat mayo a little lemon juice and a teeny bit of basil. I chop the heck out of it and since this is my most textured meal it takes about 30 - 35 minutes to eat.

I have another week of this stage then I switch to more complex soft foods...then in a few more weeks off the toddler train hopefully.
