Can anybody tell me what foods they ate 2 to 4 weeks post-op. What foods were tolorated well, and what foods gave them a hard time? Doctor told me eat beans, chop meat, tuna, chilli and eggs but stay away from chicken and steak for a while. He said concentrate on protein, and watch out for fiborous things like crunchy vegtables like broccoli and no pasta for a little longer.

I ate alot of purried pea soup with soda crackers, tuna on crackers, pate on crackers. I tried yogurt and cottage cheese, but I was lactose intolerent after surgery, so they didn't work well.

FISH! Shrimp, crab legs, flounder, tilapia...any of those. I had NO PROBLEMS with fish at all. Just had to make sure they were small pieces. And CHEW.

As for bad things...vegetables didn't sit well. My first throw up was brocolli. You have to chew and chew and chew some more.

Good Luck!

cottage cheese, and sugar free yogart were a few of the things my doctor suggested and have worked well for me. also if you make grits or oatmeal and cook it with milk it will give you more protein than by making it with water. peanut butter on crackers was also pretty easy to get down. cream of chicken soup or any cream type soup works, like cream of mushroom. just make sure what ever you eat that you take your time and chew like crazy. lol. i hope all goes well for you.
