I'm 18 days post op. Still on the same diet I was 4 days post op. Full liquids. I generally eat Protein Shakes a greek yogurt and some Soup. Im allowed clear liquids as well as yogurt, cream Soups, pudding, etc. On Friday I get to move to pureed foods. And Christmas day I get to start integrating soft regular foods.

Full liquids for 18 days. Protein Shakes, broths with unflavored Protein Powder, diluted and strained cream Soups with unflavored Protein powder, drinkable yogurt. I was allowed SF pudding and SF Popsicles but didn't like them so never ate them.

I had my post op appointment today and everything for me is going really well. I can start soft foods although I've already incorporated food into my diet. I hate Protein shakes and would rather get my Protein from foods....healthy foods of course like eggs, fish, and some veggies. Today for Breakfast I had some left over baked ziiti that I made last night. I cut it up really small and made sure I only had 3-4 ounces which I tolerated well. For lunch I had a boil egg and some shrimp...I tolerated them very well. dinner, I just finished eating about 2 ounces of cube steak-cut small, 1 oz of mashed potatoes and 1 oz of corn. I only ate a few pieces of the corn because by the time I got to it, I was full.

My advice is to really listen to your body. Take a few bites of the soft food you choose and if you tolerate it then eat more. Measure, weigh and portion your food to be sure you are not over eating. Eat slow and don't drink until 30 mins after. This has worked for me and I realize everyone is different.

Best of luck!

Thank you everyone! I have been on the liquids so far, with some sf pudding and sf applesauce & yogurt. I am so ready for a soft boiled egg! Hubby is bringing home some lobster bisque so I am looking forward to that. I think creamed Soups will get me through nicely. I can only eat very small amounts. It takes me 1/2 hour to get down half of a premier Protein shake. Maybe I am just sick of looking at them! I appreciate all of our input, more than you know.
