What are you eating 5-7 weeks post op?

[Keona1323 11]

I am currently 5 week’s post op, and just wondering what everyone else in the 5-7 week post op is eating for their daily meals?
What are you choosing for Breakfast, lunch and dinner?
Curious what people are doing. Thanks!

eggs or Protein Bar for Breakfast

chicken, tuna or egg salad for lunch

Protein usually beef, chicken, pork and a veggie for dinner.

My surgeon had me restrictions free with 5 weeks. 👍🏻

at 5 weeks I had tea for Breakfast and sometimes blended low sugar oats and mostly ready made Protein Drinks. I really liked the Glucerna steady carb Protein drinks and I would just add some more Protein Powder to them. At 5 weeks only pureed things would stay down. Jars of low sugar baby food too. I am 6 weeks 4 days post op and can eat some solid foods like a rice cake with Peanut Butter, soft fruit, Greek yogurt, soft scrambled eggs. I ate 3 small soft meatballs tonight for dinner which went down just fine but chicken gives me difficulty so I will wait a bit longer before trying it again. I also drink smoothies with lower sugar fruits, spinach, yogurt in it with protein powder. You can look up low calorie/carb smoothies. I like to use a half of a beet, some cucumber, fresh ginger and mint and all that stuff to make it really tasty and nutrient dense. Sometimes I add about 8 almonds but you have to watch how much ingredients you put in and tally up the calories. you want it to be 200 calories and under. Berries are low glycemic so I use those the most. Half of banana since they are high sugar, I like peaches, etc. Make sure you put your protein powder in them. All depends what your taste buds are like. I live in a hot climate so a cold smoothie for lunch suits me fine and I enjoy sweet tasting drinks
