chyna86 17 Posted March 26, 2012 Hi all I am 12 days post op and ready to move on with food trials! I have absolutely no desire to eat Soup regular or cream wise. I have never ever liked Protein Shakes so I drink Isopure. Im basically living off of Jello and pudding. I know the puree stage should come in around day 21 and I dont want to compromise the healing process. So far so good no nausea or throwing up but I need to get something else in my system. What are some foods you all have tolerated well at about 2 weeks post op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted March 26, 2012 I'll tell you, the first real food I ate post op was the egg. It saved my life I think! I first ate it on day 14 Post Op. I made what was sort of an egg drop Soup. I scrambled an egg and beated it into boiling broth. I didn't cook it long either, so they were still very soft (not rubbery or over done). Some people do have problems with eggs, but I think its normal for all types of folks to have issues with anything in the beginning. Just take your time between each bite and see how you handle it before moving on to the next bite. GL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spadesmcloven 8 Posted March 27, 2012 Full liquids started yesterday for me but I was terrified and not hungry so I started them today. I had 1/4 c cream of chicken Soup and now 1/2 c maybe of broccoli cheese jalapeño soup. It's all blended very well. I jut have to force myself to eat. Been having stomach spasms for days an little nauseous so it's a bit hard and not wanting to eat. Hope this gets better!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kayte819 95 Posted March 27, 2012 I lived on malt o meal. I'd put splenda in it & some milk or even evaporated milk & it was good. My nut said grits were ok too but I couldn't manage them. My nut ok'd strawberries & blueberries so I cut them tiny with splenda on them & mixed with cottage cheese (I much preferred the smaller lumps - can't think of what it's called for some reason), greek yogurt blended with milk, frozen berries & sf banana pudding is delish...like a fruity milk shake-smoothie (I'd add Protein Powder sometimes but its a lot of Protein w/ just the yogurt & milk). I couldn't & still can't eat eggs unless they were like egg drop Soup. I loved hot & sour soup from my local Chinese restaurant with egg & tofu only - no meat. If you like malt o meal - I made a bigger size batch then put it in tupperware so when I wanted some I didn't have to make it every time....I'd just scoop out a 1/4 cup & microwave it. Cream of wheat is similar but I don't like it as much. I didn't enjoy the mushies stage at all & hated most of the cream soups....I have a pantry full of them & they will never get eaten! Also, I HATED all Protein Shakes but muscle milk light vanilla latte rtd tastes just like a Starbucks vanilla chai latte & has a thin consistency...try it! I love it! They sell it @ my local 7-11 but I haven't found it anywhere else Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isntsheclever 38 Posted March 27, 2012 I'm in full liquid also. My mother in law made me an awesome Soup full of veggies, and I mix cottage cheese into it to up the Protein count. Also, as I've been craving pizza, I've been having ricotta mixed with pizza sauce and warmed up. My mom made a coconut milk/lime brothy kind of soup that has rice noodles in it. The rice noodles got VERY soggy and go down very easily. I'm also loving applesauce. I pushed it tonight and had some chile relleno (a mushy bell pepper w/ cheese). That seemed to go down alright. I don't know how anyone would get through the full liquids stage without soup, though. Only because I can't think of any other options!! Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spadesmcloven 8 Posted March 28, 2012 I thought full liquids meant only cream type stuff. Im so nauseous lately that nothing feels right. Did you have this problem? I am 12 days out. I just want to feel like I can eat something. Took my liquid vitamins yesterday and was throwing up and dry heaving after. That's new!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

isntsheclever 38 Posted April 2, 2012 Did you eat that on full liquids or soft diet? While on full liquids. I know that it doesn't count at a full liquid, no matter how well chewed it is. I'm not recommending anyone follow my example. But I am being honest about what I've tried, and what has worked for me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
