1 Month out!!!!
Congrats on making it one month! That's a hard time and you did it! I am five weeks out and I can't imagine eating a whole tilapia. I am eating about 2-3oz at a time. I make sure that each time I eat, I eat some protein first, and I eat maybe a bit of veggies or fruit if I can fit it in. I am not allowed any grains right now so I can't speak to the oatmeal, crackers or pita bread. At this point in time I still need one shake a day to get enough protein in. Both my surgeon and NUT have told me this is ok. I would continue to do the same if you don't seem to be able to get in all your protein with food alone. I'm told it gets easier as the time passes. Good luck to you!
