Foods Post-Op???
What do you suggest I have on hand right after surgery? I'm thinking Greek yogurt and protein shakes. But that's all I can come up with. When I had the sleeve I also had pudding, applesauce, eggs and cream of chicken soup. But I'm thinking those might be too right after the DS...no?
After the liquid phase, I ate mostly yogurt. Remember, you'll only be eating a couple of spoonfuls per meal. My hubby was always good about keeping some mashed potatoes made with Lactaid on hand in the fridge. I'd put a small spoonful in my mini food processor with a poached egg, or tuna or green beans, etc. Later you can even make this into a patty and fry it in butter. Yum. I also ate some applesauce and Lactaid cottage cheese...
As a 2 stepper I was having scrambled by the time I was 5 days out. I'd be worried about apple sauce and gas on freshly spliced intestines. You could try a little of the cream of chicken soup and see how you do - some end up lactose intolerant so just try a small amount.
