My surgery was end of November…at first, liquid diet, then soft foods for awhile, then expand on soft foods, then gentle solids, then fiber slowly introduced,by cooking it at first….around March, I was eating a healthy diet, only avoiding spicy things, sodas, etc. Heavily processed and fried foods avoided !..try things at first in small amounts, listen to your body….my challenge was to gain some weight, while watching fats and sugars, while adding exercises…takes time and patience for sure, especially as we age. It became ‘’my new job’’…
