What are you eating 3 weeks post op?

[fsulady 36]

Hi everyone! I am 3 weeks out and I am curious what others are eating? I feel like my intakes and my selections are minimal....maybe I am just afraid to try new foods for fear of getting sick???

Heyo! 3 weeks post-op here. I have a pretty boring palate, I've been living off of cottage cheese, thinned (with broth) refried Beans, PB2, and pureed chicken noodle Soup. My NUT also suggested hummus - I'll have to grab some when I'm at the store next.

at 3 weeks out i was just starting puree

2 weeks pre-op i was on a full liquid diet and post-op i had to stay on the diet for 2 more weeks...it sucked

Thursday i started solid foods but i've noticed myself not wanting to be adventurist and actually do it..i've been reluctant to give up the purees for whatever reason

Two days ago I started pureed/soft foods. I've had scrambled eggs, deli turkey, yogurt, Ricotta Bake (from http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com ), and pear. Tomorrow I'm thinking about refried Beans and guacamole.

Obviously the amount of food is very small but it's better than just liquid and gives me hope for the future!

Hey, I Hit 3 weeks Fri 7/22. Not eating anything special. I eat turkey chili, various Soups (seafood chowder, lobster bisque, pumpkin bisque). I drink Protein shakes twice a day, today I had Boston Market turkey and mashed potatoes. I was able to eat 1 1/2 pieces of turkey (focused on that 1st) 1-2 spoonfuls of potatoes.

I have been drinking smoothies made with fresh frozen fruit and greek yogurt.

I also eat fresh fruit (probably not supposed to) like watermelon slices, bananas, peaches, cherries. I can eat about 5-6 cherries at a time, or 1/2 of a peach (peeled skin). I'll wait until soft foods to try steamed veggies but I try and shake it up a little.

I'm on pureed/soft foods. I'm finding it's a full time job to get enough Protein from the small amounts of food I can eat so am still supplementing with at least 1-2 Protein Shakes a day. I've had scrambled eggs with and without cheese, canned salmon, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, hummus, other kinds of cheese, Greek yogurt, soft fish. 2 oz max at a time.
