First 2 weeks post op diet help

[snow25 188]

Hi folks, I'm looking for meal ideas for the first 2 weeks post op. I'm supposed to be on a all liquid optisource diet, but it was disgusting! I couldn't get any down. I have the Unjury sample pack do I can add Protein to anything. What did you eat those first 2 weeks?

I have been straining cream of mushroom low fat. Cream of chicken. Mixing with 1% milk. SF instant pudding. SF Jello. SF Popsicles. Plain Greek yogurt with a 1/4 teaspoon of SF Torani caramel Syrup.

Nicole, you were the 19th right? All of that sounds delicious. I've been liquids for 3 weeks now (2 weeks pre & 1 post) and man I am ready for some food!

I had yogurt, Soup, broth, ice pops....

Okay, I cheated... I had a 1/2 of a soft scrambled egg this morning. Oh my... After not eating food for 3 plus weeks, it was delicious! I used an organic cooking spray so no fat added, little salt & pepper. Yum!

Thank you guys that was helpful. I'm so sick of Protein Shakes and Water only. I just want a different flavor in my mouth. I still have 8 days to go:(

I only did the shakes for the first 9 days post op. then I started to shift to the soft Proteins. I will be 2 weeks post op tomorrow. So far I have had Greek yogurt, all natural applesauce, hummus, sugar free pudding, Beans, eggs, mozzarella, homemade chicken stock with herbs...I try a few small bites and wait to see how my stomach feels. So far so good. I literally got to the point where I would get nausea just thinking about the shakes. I add Protein powder to everything and have been starting the morning with a Protein Peanut Butter shake. Crazy tiny portions, but I am satisfied and full. Good Luck.

I'm 5 days post op & I'm so sick of shakes. I couldn't even get them down yesterday. I did have a couple of bites of cheese yesterday & that went well. Try a little at a time I guess

I am five days post op and doing better each day....it for sure helps to have a amazing support system. I start this coming Monday on puréed foods and don't know where not start. Must is the different between puréed and soft foods?

pureed foods went down well for me but it was harder for me than liquids.I just wanted to chew. I pureed egg and chicken salad...that was good.hummus was a life saver. I skipped the whole baby food thing...tried it found it unbearable. I also pureed salsa into a lot of Beans. But I've also tolerated spicy food exceptionally well. Some can't do it. Try ricotta cheese with sugar free spaghetti sauce...bake. pretty good pureed lasagne.
