Question:
Detailed Post op Diet for 4 months?

Someone on this site at one time had emailed me a link for someone who had a detailed, day by day, post op diet for the first 4 months. I know every one is different but I liked haivng a day by day post op diet that worked for someone. I would like for a detailed post op diet link to this if anyone knows of it. If not can you share with me your exact post op diet (not just "protein shake" but name brand and exact measurements). Thanks.    — Holly R. (posted on May 26, 2003)

I am 16 weeks today and my plan consists of 3-4 ounces total per meal, 3 meals per day. Make it about 80-95% protein and the rest veggies or fruit. I just had shrimp with ketchup and 1 large strawberry for supper. Lunch I had 3 string cheese sticks and breakfast was 3 oz of Manwhich made with ground round (leaner meat) and a slice of reduced fat american cheese melted on it for a total of 3-2/3 ounces. I use things like 3 oz of albacore white tuna in the pouch; 3 oz of The Turkey Store shredded BBQ turkey with cheese melted on it; 3-egg (substitute) omelet with lots of reduced fat cheese, onions, mushrooms and maybe ham and eat 1/3 of it for a meal (reheats just fine); 3oz of cottage cheese with 1 oz of drained and rinsed diced peaches. In general I do not eat much for carbs such as bread and potatoes etc. Maybe a bite or two once in a while. <p>I have never done protein drinks as my surgeon does not believe in them unless one cannot keep food down. He prefers we get the full feeling from foods and learn to work with the quantity out pouches can hold of solid food. We do have one person in our support group that has a terrible time with keeping any kind of food down and she does live on protein drinks, but has no choice. I know my info isn't exactly what you asked for but maybe it will give you some other ideas of things to eat. Good Luck!
