Well my post op diet was : first 2 weeks, liquids. I could have creamed Soups. No chunks. Then weeks 3-4 ( I'm at 3 wks now) I can have mushy. I can do tuna salad, chik salad, puréed smooth. Soft eggs. Refried Beans. Anything really as long as its puréed smooth. Then week 5 I can resume normal foods. Solids.

I am 20 days out and my daily intake is like this:

Breakfast- nectar vanilla Protein shake w/skim milk (30 g protein)

Snack- Hard boiled egg or Babybell Light cheese

Lunch- 3T of FF cottage cheese and 1 or 2 slices of lean turkey deli meats

Snack- Premier Protein Shake (30g protein)

Dinner- Greek FF yogurt with 3T of mashed avocado

Snack- nectar Truffle Protein Shake w/skim milk & 2T PB2 (30g protein)

You can see that I am able to eat/drink A LOT. My NUT wants my Protein intake close to 90g and I work out 3-5x week so I can eat ~500 calories/day and still be ok.

Hope that helps.

I will be 4 weeks tomorrow. :-). Week3/4 I am on puréed foods. I have a lot of blended Soups. (I LOVE this because I get all the flavor but just don't have the chunks).

6 am Breakfast I usually have a very soft scrambled egg with cheese and hot sauce- takes about 39-45 to eat all of it so I nibble while I am getting ready for work) OR a premier shake

10 am snack - Sargento string cheese reduced fat ( I'm actually not supposed to have cheese until week 5 but I did it for a couple of days by mistake and then realized I had looked at the wrong week! Ooops! Since it worked well I am still including it. :-) OR Greek yogurt or cottage cheese

12:30 ish- ricotta bake from egg face website OR Soup (about 3 oz) takes about 30-40 minutes for thicker soups

4 ish- Premier Protein shake - takes about an hour for 11 ounces

7ish- 1.5 ounces puréed salmon with 1 ounce mashed potatoes

On weekends I usually have a snack a little before bed like cottage cheese, greek yogurt or a cheese stick.

And of course Water. :-). Somedays it is hard to eat at all and will just have the Snacks as my meals. It is usually about 600 calories and 60 gr Protein or more.
