Hi Blackbird,

Welcome - I see Dr. Mecenas is your surgeon.  I live just down the road in Elmira!  Do you like seafood.  I ate a lot of salmon, scallops and fish when I moved to regular foods.  I found these easier to digest, than some other foods.  I also ate a fair amount of chicken. I try to add new things gradually to see how I react. Yesterday I had a little bit of an orange for the first time since surgery - it was amazing!

Hi Liz! 

What a small world! Thank you for your post! I feel better after reading all of the supportive comments on here. I really like crab, shrimp and tuna fish. I am a condiment girl though, did you eat any sort of dip or something with the fish? I like to season things and marinate them. Since the surgery my sense of smell and taste is super sensitive :(. I haven't tried seafood yet but I think it sounds like a great idea. Did you use ****tail sauce at all or tartar sauce? 

I had pureed chicken a few times and at first it wasn't so bad but now I can't stand the thought of it. Did you eat different recipes for chicken? I was thinking about making a lowfat chicken parm because the chicken is usually pretty moist but I would love to hear any recipes that worked for you. 

How long have you been out of surgery? Congratulations on the orange! I have had a lot of luck with pears, apple sauce and bananas so far, they digest really easily and are refreshing.

Congrats on your surgery it might be to soon for eggs and toast I received a pamphlet as to what to eat during each month after surgery. I would stick to oatmeal,soups,tea,jello clear and soft food until 3 months out.
