What are some of the things you all ate the first week after surgery? I am eating Jello, crystal light, caffeine free tea, and fudgecicles. Not to mention the water and chicken broth. What did you guys all eat?

I had surgery the day after you did. (Color Me HAPPY).:wink2:

I also had yogurt, I could have had protein drinks but didn't want any. I also had ICE CREAM. The reason I indulged was because I wasn't eating much and it was something I could tolerate. Didn't mess up my weight loss in the least. I still lost five pounds the week after; but remember, this is a time for healing, not a time to worry over weight loss yet. Happy Losing to YOU & ME!:w00t:

PS I went for my week check-up Friday, & the DR> added soft vegetables w/o skins, fish, eggs, cottage cheese. I went back to work & had Mashed Potatoes & Green Beans. They were WONDERFUL!:eek:

The day after me? So you had your surgery yesterday? And you're already eating mushies! I am so jealous. I am dieing for some egg whites sprinkled with fresh cheese and scrammbled. EH! Lol. How are you feeling?

I was told to stick to the same things you have, but have been kinda low energy, so I also had some soup and protein shakes.

I really liked these smoothies

during the liquid stage they really made me feel like I was "eating" something.

They're not thick at all either.

My very first "meal" was orange-ade that they made in the hospital cafe. Then later, I had a lime popsicle from the gift shop. It was SO good, I got another one before I left the hospital later that day. First week, I drank a lot of unjury Chicken Soup, it's a Protein mix that tastes just like chicken soup. Jello was good for when I really wanted to feel like I "ate" something. I didn't have any fudgesicles but I did have popsicles. Lots of popsicles. :wink2:

Oh!! And those cup-a-soup packages - Loved those.

I was done on the 12th this month so far these are all the things I've had - Water, apple juice, milk, pumpkin soup/tomato soup - thinned out heaps. Popsicles, sustagen and that's really it - I actually don't mind it but others I know have trouble on the post op diet - thankfully I have some variety with the soups. Oh and I had some pouring custard - good stuff
