What are you "eating" Weeks 2-4 post op?

[Domika03 309]

I'm 11 days post op, in week 2. I'm eating the following:

Breakfast: 3 tablespoons cream of wheat w/ 1 teaspoon of SF rasberry jam (no seeds)

Breakfast snack: 3 tablespoons cream of mushroom Soup w/ 1 tablespoon of melted shredded cheese (and 1 scoop of Protein powder)

Lunch: 1/2 Pure protein High Protein Bar

lunch snack: Going to eat 3 tablespoons mashed potatoes w/ 1 tablespoon of homemade Tomato sauce I'm using for the family's spaghetti & meatball dinner tonight

Dinner: Working on that / probably cream of broccoli soup w/ 1 scoop of Protein powder

What do you guys have?

What about fluids? What do you guys drink to keep those fluids up? I know we can't / shouldn't eat & drink at the same time, so what keeps you filled up & meeting your daily intake? I'm expected to have 32 oz of Fluid for now. Not quite there yet, unless you count my little 'liquid' meals

Wow! I'm impressed. I was still on full liquids until day 18. Even at 5 weeks I can't eat even close to that much. I've gotten 55-65 oz. fluids everyday since day 5 and liquids, broths and yogurt go down fine. But for anything more solid like bean Soup, cream of wheat, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, eggs, tuna fish, etc. I can only eat about 2 tablespoons no more than 2 - 3 times a day. I get so stuffed I can't drink for an hour or two even if I was allowed to. I still get most of my Protein from shakes. You are progressing astoundingly well.
