23 days post op - solid stage

125ml full fat plain yoghurt
100ml low fat plain drinkable yoghurt
200ml ss milk
110g roasted chicken breast (lunch and dinner)
1 spoonful of tomatoes
25ml caesar salad dressing
2 popsicles
750ml water
200ml tea

Drinking enough liquids is getting harder instead of easier. :-(

I'm still struggling eight weeks out - once you add food it gets harder to fit it all in. Chicken caesar sounds lovely - I love that. Did you enjoy it?

 

[Bally]

Samsara, thank you, I did enjoy but it didn't last...
It tasted really good but after lunch I felt like the greasy part of the sauce would never leave my stomach. I couldn't wash it down even with a cup of hot tea.
I believe I'll stick to very low fat for a while.

Oh that's a shame it didn't sit well Bally

3 weeks post op - solid stage

Today was a strange day. Wasn't able to take my break for lunch and had to eat from a formal corporate lunch buffet. Glad I'm on solid stage or else it would have been a real problem.

100ml drinkable low fat plain yoghurt
100ml milk pudding
75g rice croquette (rice, tomato sauce and cheese, made into a large ball and deep fried) - delicious and no problems, finally, but not exactly low cal.
250ml veggie blended soup
100ml chilled latte
750ml water
200ml nas juice

Wow Samsara, you are able to eat fresh fruit! I'm still experiencing big problems with high-fiber food like fruit and vegetables. It seems it gets stuck very easily even if I chew very very well.

Wow Samsara, you are able to eat fresh fruit! I'm still experiencing big problems with high-fiber food like fruit and vegetables. It seems it gets stuck very easily even if I chew very very well.

Remember I'm five weeks further on than you. And I'm only allowed to slowly introduce normal foods from eight weeks out. There's no way I could've eaten fresh fruit or vegetables at three weeks out! I was on purée and liquids only then and eating mainly soups, yoghurt and cottage cheese I am eating small amounts slowly and chew chew chewing!

Oh and fresh fruit was my main concern - as in whether I'd be able to eat it post op as it is one of my favourite things to eat.

Oh and fresh fruit was my main concern - as in whether I'd be able to eat it post op as it is one of my favourite things to eat.

And mine too and I'm craving for some fresh fruit or vegetables!
But you're right...you're 5 weeks ahead of me and I've to be patient.

 

[Samsara]

You'll get there quicker than you think. I can't believe I'm eight weeks out now and introducing normal textures

 

[Bally]

Thanks, Samsara, for your support.
I know I will get there, even if sometimes I doubt it, but it's frustrating being allowed to try almost everything and finding out that my new baby stomach doesn't stand most of the things I love!

 

[Yvessa]

For now you could try things like stewed apple or rubarb - it may hit the craving
