i dont see why not.

Yes. It's on my puree stage foods. I've eaten grits several times (I'm 4 weeks post op) and they were good! I added a little scrambled egg to mine too for a little Protein.< /p>

I could eat really runny grits on week 2 as a full liquid. Depends on your plan and your surgeon but I'd say you are safe

Ok, I was wondering about grits too, thanks for asking!! I am in week 3 right now and don't feel like I am losing weight like I should. I lost 21 lbs the first two weeks and nothing since, Oct 29 will be 3 weeks since surgery..is this normal? Am I doing something wrong...and I don't know how to start a new thread/topic/or post..can someone give me some direction? Thanks!

Wow! That is a large loss for two weeks, don't you think? How much did you expect to realistically lose?

I agree it is a lot, I'm just concerned because I'm at a zero loss for this week. Do you lose weight every week? Is it normal to not lose any weight right after surgery?

Yes, it is totally normal to not lose weight for a week. There will be stalls, this is not a linear thing. Read some of the threads before yours - this is a very common thing, so you are so not alone. Chin up - things are going well!

Thank you for the information and encouragement. I'm still learning how to navigate the site, but I'll read up!

Yes grits and eggs are my favorite
