Post op Diet

[knzdeeb 1]

I'm almost a week out from my surgery and today I had refried Beans with minced ground beef topped with cheese and sour cream. I've had no negative reaction. And I took it really slow just to make sure. Has anyone else done this and had a good experience?

What are your postop instructions? Have you been cleared for solids by your surgeon? If not, why are you eating these things?

I was on liquids for almost 3 weeks, then pureed, then soft foods until 6 weeks. My stomach was cut open the entire length and only held together with staples, so I would never ever have considered altering my surgeon's instructions just to see if I would have a negative reaction.

Every Dr. Has different instructions post op. it sounds like a lot that you had on your plate but I bet it was just a few bites. Retried Beans were allowed, in fact anything healthy that could sled through a funnel was ok. You also took it slow. I say good job. Protein is a good thing, we all heal different, some faster than others. I myself think I healed great, I was an out patient, went shopping the next day, never swallowed a pain pill and my incisions were healed a week later. I also ate the topping off of a supreme pizza one week post op with no problem. Just don't stuff yourself or you will feel like one big gas bubble wanting to throw up. Good Luck.
