How do I eat after digestive tract surgery?

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?

@hopeful33250 sorry just saw this post. Took about a year to feel much better. Still eat half of what I did. Yogurt and soups not creamed soups are my go to . I don’t drink the protein drinks anymore but still eat lots of protein like nuts, eggs,beans,tuna ,fish,shrimp.,grilled chix and lots of veggies. Yes,still eat slowly and chew lots.I don’t drink carbonated beverages or lots of alcohol. Fats and meat bother me as well as acidic foods so I stay clear of them. I take a probiotic which helps and sometimes reflux gourmet if needed. There is hope and when I was struggling I would stare at some foods and was afraid to eat it. Now,if I feel uncomfortable or eat too much I walk it off. Each day is a new beginning. Good luck.🤸♂️💕

Sorry,I didn’t see this earlier. Still eating half of what I ate before but variety of food is so much better. Still eating smaller portions a few times a day with very little red meat and no fatty foods . Blessed that I can digest most foods and feel most days better. Best of luck with ur journey.
