@bearose so sorry about your long and painful ordeal and hope you get relief soon ! Among the first foods with fiber for me were canned pears and applesauce, low sugar versions…I even gently heated bananas at first (with rice crispies and almond or soy milk )….simple chicken soup (but no matzo balls, will constipate you )…smooth peanut or almond butter is another food easily tolerated…eggs—must be fully cooked….also, mashed potatoes and cooked carrots…olive oil can help, too. Just a few ways to eat as we help our body to heal. Wishing you the best !

You have offered @bearose some great post-surgery food suggestions. I was especially impressed with heating bananas to make them more digestible. I had never considered that. I appreciate you sharing in this discussion!
