I'm 21 days post op & was wondering which foods you ate at this point. Please share!

At 3 weeks I was doing soft foods and Soups. I couldn't deal with the texture of pureed foods. Cottage cheese or scrambled eggs for Breakfast, Protein smoothies for Snacks, homemade soups/stews for other meals. I would go out for chicken and mashed potatoes (Boston Market), but if something upset my tummy, it was back to Soups. Good restaurants for soft foods include Boston Market, Baker's Square, Panera bread or any place that serves mashed potatoes (Chili's).

Also, learned to love Greek yogurt with sugar-free preserves and Splenda, and sugar-free pudding. Applesauce is good too -- never thought I would eat applesauce as an adult, but I actually like it. What I especially like about these food is the single-serve packs. Portion controlled!

A woman after my own heart, I really don't like to cook, so Panera and Boston Market, etc sound good to me!!

Yeah, I don't really cook either, so I have to be creative. Also, if you have a Whole Foods near you, their prepared hot foods are good. Try the turkey meatballs and mashed potatoes. Watch the Tomato sauce as it upset my tummy early on.
