Hello- post op concerns

My surgery was on the 20th of November and my doctor has me on soft foods and I am allowed dark chicken. I was on liquids for 4 days after I came home. Did this happen to any one else? I lost 15 since surgery.

Dark meat chicken is usually mush more moist than the white meat. I was not allowed chicken until I went to solids, but, if your Dr. ok'd it, then I would just take it VERY slow, chew until there is nothing left to chew....and only try a couple of bites and see how it goes. Just do not over do anything on your stomach, you are still healing, and want it to heal well!

That's great about your weight loss---now some of it might come back as you introduce more food, until you can up your exercise a bit. But it will go away again. Keep up the great work!!! And welcome to Bandland and another BIG welcome to LBT!!!

Great to see you here in this friendly community...Wow you were allowed dark chicken I wasn't allowed anything like that for what seemed like forever 3 weeks it turned out to be...I look forward to hearing of your progress.

Welcome.

I was allowed fish but was warned to definitely stay away from beef the first month. As long as you are following your Dr.s orders you should be fine.
