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.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
