5 days post op & I want REAL FOOD!

[DeeLiciousHairStylist 26]

Ok, I know we are supposed to be eating ONLY protien shakes and sugar free liquids but really my new stomach doesn't seem to like the "sweet" shake options. I eat chicken broth but am bored and want something more substantial. Like cottage cheese or something. I know its only 5 days out but what can I have besides the protien shakes?! Yogurt?! Anything?!? I'm dying here.... any help or ideas would be fantastic. Thanks!

Do you have a list from your doc or nut? My list allowed for grits and cream of wheat as soon as I went on full liquids. Those friggin grits were fantastic. I had 1 small bowl a day because otherwise I couldn't get in my Protein, but that first week the bowl of grits was the highlight of my day.

Ok thank u so much, yes my list has things like v8 juice, protien shakes sugar free everything and no kinds of cream of wheat or anything like that. Im finding myself feeling pretty trapped & frustrated here for the next 3 weeks when I think my body can handle a little yogurt or something... idk.

You probably could handle it, but following your docs advice is wise. If you're feeling that good, pretty soon you'll be eating all sorts of healthy foods.
