Not sure what to do now???? Help please.

[~Mauriah~ 0]

Okay, I'm two weeks out today. I've been on liquids but I think it's time to go to softer foods. My Nutritionist had to cancel my appointment for tomorrow and my next appointment isn't unitl the 7th of January. I need to know what I can eat now. I've done well on the liquids but I need something else. Help me please.:smile:

First....relax. I am only 12 days out and eating almost regular food. Take it slow and move on to soft foods. I started with cottage cheese and Soups. Now I have had chicken breast (very juicy and I chewed it up until it was almost liquid) and salad. Just make sure you are getting plenty of Protein and take it slow. I haven't had any problems except a little gas pain in my left shoulder if I wait too long to eat something.

Good luck!

Can't you call your doctor? Mine's on call. He got a bunch-o-bucks for performing the surgery (and he's a genuine nice guy) and he is available for me whenever I need to ask something.

I think asking if it's okay you move to mushies is reasonable. You really should do each stage of healing closely following your docs orders. It's only like 6 weeks.

I would give your nutritionists office a call to see what they suggest. They should also have given you some kind of generalized nutritional guidelines in your paperwork as well.

Most of us move on to full liquids at this stage such as cream Soups without chunks, but not quite on to mushies yet.

I agree with the above.

I moved onto sf pudding, cottage cheese, Soups, chicken salad, tuna salad.

I completely agree, maybe mushies, but hold off on the soft foods just yet.

try some mashed potatoes, tuna, chili in a blender, scrambled eggs, baked Beans, even christmas dinner....in the blender that is.

Good Luck!

I also agree, I am one week post op and I was told mushies, such as mashed potatos, cottage cheese and puddings.< /p>
