When can I try some skinless meat?

[Letsgetgoing2018 448]

Hi all. Seven days post op. Doing well and had my one week visit with surgeon today. He said I can try egg whites and steamed veges (haven’t yet). Cooked Cornish game hens for the family and want to try a piece but not sure if it’s too soon. Can anyone tell me when I would be ready to try a moist bite of hen?

You have a list of approved foods from your surgeon or nutritionist I’m sure.

Seven days out seems mighty early for meat but everyone is going to do what they want to do bottom line. You don’t need to seek validation or approval from others to eat unapproved foods post op. Just as long as you are aware of the risks and accept them. We are all adults here.
