what should you be eating one month after surgery

[toy27 62]

Hey all I need some help & ideas on what I should & could eat one month after surgery

[RickM 1,752]

It all depends upon individual tolerances and surgeons' programs - some surgeons will still have their patients on liquids at that point, while others will allow them steak. I was in that second group and had no problem with some filet (which is often better tolerated than ground beef,) and some salad veg along with the more typical early Proteins of dark chicken and tuna. Basically, I was at 90+% of what I was having at 6 months out and near maintenance. My wife, on the other hand, was a little slower to progress on the same basic program when she went through this some years ago. YMMV.

My nut. & doc said I can eat nuts & meats I think almost anything goes down well that's kinda scary

I was able to eat pretty much anything one month post-op except very sweet things sometimes make me feel a little queasy. Just take slow and in small amounts and concentrate on getting your Protein requirements and you'll be fine. I personally think all things in moderation is a livable lifestyle as opposed to being super restrictive but this is a personal choice.

The general rule from my doc on this is to try small amounts of new things one at a time to test for your tolerance - if it goes down and settles well, then great; if not, try it again in a couple of weeks as such things can change quite a bit over time.

i could only do shakes at that point

I was on a "soft diet." chicken, canned tuna, fish etc. Vegetables that could "smash" easily. No raw vegetables or tough meat. And I was taking in about 2 ounces for each meal.
