I week follow up appointment

I had my one week follow up today and it went well. He asked if I was hungry and I said "Yeah, getting there" and he said "Okay, eat". Hmmm. That was easy I guess. He gave me a list with soft and tender meats(not beef), seafood, soft cooked veggies etc. Tonight I had very soft chicken breast sauteed in a brown sauce with mushroom, broccoli and carrots. I ate leass than 1/2 cup but it was DELICIOUS!!! The chicken was super tender and pretty much fell apart in my mouth. That was about 3 1/2 hours ago and I'm still feeling great.

Hey there you are doing very well. My surgery was 4/22 and my one week post op is tomorrow. I can only hope and pray to be as lucky as you. I would like to know what menu/meats he recommended if you don't mind sharing. Keep up the great work!

He listed poultry, fish including shellfish, all mushies, soft cooked vegetables, soft fruits - no seeds, nuts, pasta, bread or rice yet. I can have toast or other "dry breads".

Diid you prepare the chicken? If so what is the recipe? I had my week follow up also and he told me lumpy foods for now (I took that as mushie). I am having a hard time coming up with stuff to eat.
Thanks mama59

You can use any type of marinade/dressing/oil soy sauce...whatever you like. If you go to the marinade/dressing section in te grocery store you can find many low cal options. Just poor enough in a pan for the amount you're cooking, toss in some veggies and cook on med-low until soft.
