HELP 3 Weeks post-op did anyone what kind of food did u guys eat???
i always post these links when someone asks about the diet guidelines/timelines. Lots of great info. Depending on what stage your doctor has you there are lots of things you can eat. In the mushy soft food stages i ate lots of egg/chicken/tuna salad. Turkey meatballs with spaghetti sauce and turkey chili. beans with cheese. yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs. Good luck, the first month is the hardest :o) Jeani

Hi, egg salad, tuna salad and chicken salad. I just boied some eggs and used mayo, canned tuna with mayo, caned white chicken with mayo and to each i added a little salt and pepper. Can't have any raw veggies yet so no onion or celery but it all went down easy for me. Congratulations on your surgery, enjoy the new and improved you :o) Jeani
Thank you so much for replying to me and the reminder about green onions probably would have put those in there not even thinking as a raw vegie so thank you so much :) Yes i am so excited to be able to eat a few things and get out of the liqued stage glad that was only 2 weeks and i have sure been counting down the days :). I have seen some of your posts and they always help e :)
Well i was told no raw veggies or salad type stuff that all veggies had to be cooked very soft. Also no skins like apple or whatever. The reason i was given is the fibers could maybe get under the staple line and cause a leak. Again we all know everyone gets different guidelines but especially in the first month they want us to only swallow liquid like consistency. I was told no salad until 3 months out. I was dying for a salad :o) Jeani
