what did you eat?!?!

K so im two weeks post op (RNY) and i have no idea what to eat!!! I can only get in about a Tbsp of food per meal before the pouch starts gurgling...but im SOOOOO sick of cottage cheese, eggs and unfortunately i cannot stomach tuna and i have no desire to even try lunch meat...actually im not really wanting ANYTHING...but i know i have to eat. So can you guys please tell me what you were eating after surgery....and how much?! im really having a hard time =(


HELP!!

 i was doing pudding yogurt and milk at your stage... that's about it tho

 Truthfully,  this was the time where it was the most miserable to eat.   I ate pudding, hummus, eggs and  that was about it.  Pretty soon it will get better and you will want to branch out.   Hang in there!

I ate a lot of refried beans w/ mild hot sauce and ff sour cream. I also ate ff baked beans. Those chew up real easily and have lots of protein. I also ate Campbell's condensed split pea and ham soup. The ham bits are really small but you can always pick those out if you want to. Its a pretty thin soup but also has a lot of protein. I hated the stage you're in! You knew I had to eat but all I wanted to do was drink water all day long!

Good Luck!

you're at the stage wherre i was most miserable...everything is trial and err now...
Hummus, refried beans, mashed potatoes, yougurt, blended soups and chili, egg salad etc
dont forget that the blender is your best friend right now...try everything in it!

ps...it gets better...I promise!

The beginning is difficult but it will get better. I, too am a patient of Dr. Krahn's and I know his diet is protein only until we lose 75% of our excess body weight. At the beginning I did a lot of sugar free pudding with protein powder, protein shakes and tuna. Like you though the tuna got old real quick as did everything else, so I went ahead and made a pot of ground turkey chili which was a god send. I am now 6 weeks out and the turkey chili is still my staple. And while it has a small amount of carbs the protein content is still better than I was getting with what I was attempting to get down before. I make a big pot and freeze it in small ziploc storage containers.  That way I pull one out a week and always have something on hand that is pouch friendly and nutritious.
Good Luck,
Heather

thank you all for your messages! 
its crazy that all i want now is a salad or some sushi lol...things i liked before but never really "craved"!
I'm just glad it gets easier.
i tried some soupy/cheesy refried beans (about a spoonful) and it was heaven!
Pansita and I are starting to work together lol
p.s. Pansita is the name ive given my pouch haha, it means little stomach in spanish =)

4 weeks post op and I still cant stomach much! I am told to eat lunch meat with cheese, but i too cant even get the desire for it.    good luck- it does get a little easier.  im bummed my dr doesnt have us take protein, we have to eat it.  and lately nothing stays down. I havent figured this whole eating thing out just yet !! =)

What about tofu? It's pretty soft and has a lot of protein.. just a thought

Talk to your doctor/nut about the sushi. I specifically asked my nutritionist about sushi at around 3 or 4 weeks, because it was my "diet" food of choice before the surgery. She claimed it would be ok on occasion (since it really isn't high in protein at all), as long as I got the "brown rice" variety and made sure to chew until it couldn't be chewed anymore, and to only eat 2 or 3 small pieces.
