@nycmusic are you interested in details of post-surgery diet ? At first, after the liquid diet, very soft and gentle foods like scrambled eggs, yogurt, simple soups like broth with rice or noodles, mashed potatoes, peanut butter, bananas, then cooked carrots, canned pears or peaches…this is not permanent so not to worry about getting every nutrient- your goal is to ease food through your system…once you can do this and things are working, you can have fish and poultry, simply cooked…after awhile, you add soft lettuces and before long introduce other foods slowly to be sure they are okay..good luck ! Hope this helps you and others…
