Already from reading everybody's "what they can eat" I'm a bit confused. I'm one week post-op and have lost the paperwork of what to eat next?? Does anybody know??

Hi Misty! I think what to eat at one week post op varies by doctors. My doctor was strict and kept us on "FULL LIQUIDS" from discharge until he saw us one week post-op. At that point we were put on SOFT MOIST DIET.... Cream of wheat, Canned Chicken, Tuna, Turkey, soft well cooked veggies... my book says to try carrots, green beans and asparagus tips first as they are soft and easy to get down. One scrammbled egg, sugar free pudding or jello, Cottage Cheese, or yogurt. Trick is to get in the 70 -80 gms. of Protein. So of course you'll be drinking Protein drinks also. I make mine with Skim plus milk and also use sugar free nestle choc. mix to make a choc milk each day. That helps boost your Protein intake. Good Luck! Pat
