Saint Francis patients??? (Post op RnY)

Hey guys - I have a question. Dr Barba told me I could go to Stage 3 next week (fish with veggies) and Stage 4 the week after (poultry). So I am confused by the chart. I eat eggs or cottage cheese or yogurt or something 3 times a day, right. Then I eat fish or chicken 2-3 times a day separately from my soft foods??? Or do I eat it with my soft foods? It's kind of confusing. Just thought I would ask. Don't want to sound dumb when I call Julie. Jen

jen, i think he means now you can incorporate fish and veggies into your 3 meals a day. if you chose to have eggs and or cottage cheese, instead of fish, then that's ok, but try to incorporate fish into your daily meal plan somewhere. that's how i understood it. right now you're getting your protein from soft foods, and you can start introducing fish and chicken into it now...does this make sense?

Hi Jen, I have Dr. Barba also. He also had me start incorporating fish/chicken into my diet. You should try to incorporate them with your 3 meals. Make sure you eat your protein first before anything else. Chicken & Fish are higher protein than cottage cheese & yogurt. Make sure they are really really moist.. I used Swanson's canned chicken with some light mayo...tasted like prime rib after having eggs & yogurt for a few weeks...LOL... Hope this helps, Mickey

Thanks guys. I was so confused. That helps a lot! I appreciate it! Jen
