Food post op

[jennlhp 39]

Can you all give me an idea what I'd be eating about 4-6 weeks post op? How soon after surgery do you feel normal? When I say normal, I mean not feeling like you had surgery.

For me less than a week but the first 3 days I wanted to die!

I felt normal day 10. I am not far enough out to tell you about what you'll be eating. I'm three weeks out and I mostly hummus, eggs, deli ham & turkey and cheese.< /p>

I see so many people saying they're eating hummus...what do you eat it with? Or do you eat it alone?

Toasted bread was one of the things on my doctors list so I did a toasted piece of pita bread with hummus literally for lunch for two weeks! I got some mini wheat pita's at whole foods and they were perfect. Along with the "cedar's hummus"

Forgot to say, I started feeling normal after about 3-4 weeks.

I am almost four weeks out and my doctor is a bit lenient on the diet saying soft to regular as tolerated after 3 weeks. I have had chicken, chili, veggies, a few fishies, and tuna and chicken salad. I had trouble with deli turkey and some dairy products but for the most part I just eat a little bit and seem fine.

I do eat it alone. I sometimes use pretzel chips, but I kind of just use the pretzel as a spoon. When the section I am licking the hummus off of gets soggy, I eat it. But, I usually only go through two pretzel chips since I can't eat much at time.
