Anyone else having trouble eating? I am 7 days post op and i am allowed cream Soups, mash potatoes, grits etc. I can only seem to get two teaspoons down and my stomach starts making noise and seems to be full of gas a lot of belching. Any suggestion?

I wasn't allowed mushy foods (like you listed) until three weeks out. I agree with joyv, go slow and maybe try more Liquid Protein for now. Unjury and nectar are great brands you can get on the internet, and Healthwise makes great savory flavors you can add to chicken, beef, Tomato broths or strained Soups. Yes, 1-2oz or about 3-4 tablespoons is pretty normal for the first month after surgery.

None of the foods you listed were on my food list until week 3 either. Take it slow you tummy is healing and does not need the additional stress caused by digesting dense foods. The Uninjury unflavored Protein Powder can be added to broth to increase your Protein intake without upsetting your tummy. Stay strong!
