what were you eating post op week 1,2, and 3
I was in the Hospital the first 3 weeks after surgery and did not eat solids until week 8. Then I had protein shakes, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and soup (broth).

week 1 - starving in the hospital :) well, not really starving, I was on an IV & wasn't hungry, but nothing my mouth for 4 days. then water & protein shakes
week 2 - added greek yogurt and hard boiled eggs
week 3 - added soft cheese, tried some soft foods like cottage cheese, super-moist canned chicken, ricotta. Not everything sat well, but when I tried again a week or 2 later, some things sat in my tummy better. I was more than 2 months out before 1 bite of cottage cheese didn't feel like a brick in my tummy.
bottom line - follow your surgeons advice & take it slow. And remember, what is today, may not be tomorrow. :)
I had a terrible time with soft foods not feeling good in my stomach. I ate soup and cream of wheat cereal for weeks. Lipton's chicken noodle mostly, but I made soups with spinach and other soft veggies and tiny bits of chicken and protein enriched pasta in little pieces.
I found pre-made protein drinks easier to manage than homemade but was very intolerant of sweet things. Some days I could eat yogurt.
I am chiming in because I had a hard time for a couple of months and just kept trying different things to see what worked. Not sure you are having the same problem?
