what and how much to eat?

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and my biggest problem is that I'm eating all the same food everyday. I eat cottage cheese with a little apple sauce maybe some oat meal  or yogurt and for Dinner most of the time its a thick cream soup.   i dont know what else to eat while i'm on the pureed diet and my doc said 8 weeks from check up which was on the 11th so I have a long time of cottage cheese and yogurt. anyway any suggestions?  and i'm so afraid to eat to much that maybe i'm not eating enough how much is normal? Thanks  E

I didnt have to do the puree'd stage ,, My doc is differant,  Iwas thinking  about you and the foods you can have .. think  if you try some  baby foods , ricotta cheese, also a very soft scrambled egg - Mix a tablespoon of may and a teaspoons of water together - break an egg into it and cook - very soft and moist !! should go down well !!  as far as how much to eat ,, Try to measure and stick to 2-4 oz , eat slow and your body will tell you when you have a bite or swallow too much !!

Well i just in the last couple days have even wanted to eat, but I thought if there was something I wanted to eat I may be more interested!     I tried the Tuna and ate some of that with my cottage cheese. I ate about a table spoon of it so I guess that was pretty good.  Thanks !  E

you could eat some veggie soup and strain out the veggies, or mix it all in a blender.  There wasn't much I liked at that stage, but sugar free pudding was ok sometimes.  Some people eat ricotta with a little sugar free jam.  Maltomeal or cream of wheat?  Refried beans and cheese?  I'm out of suggestions, but during my puree stage I couldn't manage much except avocado and milk and sometimes pudding or peanut butter.  I just couldn't look at food. 

Hi. I was on the pureed stage for my first 4 weeks. My sister in law was very inventive in the pureed foods she thought up. If you look at my profile for Sept you will see them all listed.

One of my favorites was fat-free refried beans with fat-free cheddar shreds, with a packet of hot sauce from Taco Bell!  Regarding eating the same things all the time, if you're okay with it I wouldn't worry about it.  I did that for the first 8-12 weeks - found 10-12 things I liked to eat and that my pouch could tolerate, then just ate them until I couldn't stand it any more!   Good luck on your continuing journey -  Kellie
