1 week post op
Hi! My surgery was May 14th. Today I get to start pureed food. Yeah!! I'm guessing the best way to get in my protein is to do about 30mg in shakes and the rest in food like cottage cheese, eggs, refried beans, chicken, chesse. The problem is so far I"ve had terrible gas and I wonder if these foods might aggravate. Any thoughts? Any suggestions about the gas? Does it get better (I Sure hope so!)? Thanks!
Right now, gas is good to have! I'm 5 weeks out and I'm still telling my husband that. lol
It sounds like you're right on the pureed foods. You can have yogurt too. I buy the single serving cups of Oikos greek yogurt and add in a tsp of Truvia and a Tbsp of Polaner sugar free jelly. You'd never know it was a diet yogurt. So delicious.
You can also have Wendy's chili (blended up). That was a welcome change from chicken and tuna salad, and refried beans.
About your protein shakes, did you mean 30 grams instead of miligrams? I would bump that up because you won't be able to eat a lot of the pureed foods at this point. You'll fill up quickly -- at least I did. So I relied on the protein shakes to ensure I had enough protein for the day.
