How do I eat after digestive tract surgery?

Great topic. Most foods were trial and error. I told my doctor I was rarely eating. He said just double up protein drinks. I started with small portions every 2 hours. Applesauce,yogurt, eggs,veggie soups like squash,carrot,minestrone,pastina with butter, sugar and dairy bothered me . Lactose intolerant. Good luck. It does get better. 🤸♂️💪👍💕

@cj16 how long did it take to get better?

It is so good to read your post, @cj16, and to hear how you managed foods after surgery. I was also told that protein was most important and to add in other foods groups as I could tolerate them. The small portions are also very helpful.
How long ago was your surgery? Have you been able to increase the portion size yet?
