@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.🤸♂️💕

@cj16 This sounds much like my eating plan. My last surgery was in 2016, but I am still restricted in the quantity as well as the quality of what I eat. I, too, find small portions the best, along with high-protein, low-fiber foods. Soups work pretty well because the veggies are well-cooked. For added protein, I add some ground beef or turkey to the soup. Chicken noodle soup with added cooked carrots is easy to fix and nutritious, too!
Most of us eventually find the eating pattern that provides nutrition and is easy on our digestive tract.
