17 Days Post Op How Much Did Everyone Eat

[ljperez 87]

I was cleared to eat soft foods all Protein. As light as I can on carbs and no sugar. I was excited but now not so much. I ate canned chicken and a scramble egg today but its hard it takes forever and my stomach makes so much noise. It feels like its stuck sometimes. I'm not gassy just a little uncomfortable for like a half hour. Does anyone have any suggestions or food they are eating that goes down easier?

YEA!!! I was moved to soft stage today as well excited and scary. Ok, here is my experience for the day.

I was able to eat 6oz apple sauce without problem ( Gerber baby food)

lunch I ate 2oz of canned tuna and 1/2 cup of Soup cream but it was mistake. I need to stop on 1/4 cup because I feel my soup in my throat

dinner just 2oz of canned tuna. - was more then enough for me.

I like refried Beans with some greek yogurt, split pea Soup and I took fresh spinach and cooked it with onion, garlic and chicken broth drained it and put in food processor with some ricotta cheese and a few eggs and salt and pepper to taste. Bake in a pan sprayed with pam and added mozzarella cheese on top last 15 min. Yum. I then let it set and cut into small portions that fit in those little snack baggies and freeze. You can do the same with cauliflower and put spaghetti or marinara sauce over it. Check out eggface.com. There are lots of recipes. Hope that helps.

I would try adding FF or LF mayo to the canned chicken and/or tuna as it will keep it moist and should sit easier and go down easier. I was moved to soft Proteins on Wednesday as well and both of those have worked great. I was also told i could have ground turkey and to mix it with a little marinara and ricotta cheese or melt some cheese over it. I am finding i can eat about 3oz a meal, although tonight for dinner I had 2 scrambled eggs with a little FF cheese melted on top -- soooo good!

Have you tried baked fish? I did very well with that.

I am on puréed but still I have had some very tasty stuff. I have had chili, chicken fajitas and I put some corned beef lunch meat in a food processor with a little mayo and relish. Yummy.
