WEEK 4 Post Op--What to eat?

Thread Starter  

Hi,
I just finished up my mushy stage on Week 3, and wanted some advice on what to eat for Week 4. It's such an odd ball week. It seems like a continuation of Week 3. I can't have seafood until Week 5, no toast till Week 6, no fruits till week 7, no red meat or breads until Week 8. What to eat? On my mushies week, I ate refried beans---I'm mexicaned out!! :faint: I hate cottage cheese:speechles, and I don't want to intake too much potatoes. I thought about meatloaf. I try to get in a lot of protein to stay fuller longer, but I need some recipe/food ideas for this week. What did you eat at this stage? :help:

Thanks for your help!

Hi, Charly,
What ever looks good to you - just take a small bite, chew it really well, and it should be fine. I was so afraid to eat a cracker! I made some chicken salad that first solid day.....Plus, you are 4 weeks out like me and you should have a little less restriction than right after surgery. I, in fact, have been eating too much, (only lost 1 lb since week 2) so I am looking forward to my first fill tomorrow.
