Post-Op Frustration

So I am 3 days post-op and I am having trouble with knowing what I can eat or not. I have been following the directions that I received from the surgical centre, but I am wondering what other people ate during their full liquid phase, pureed phase, soft food phase, and solid phase. Now I don't want anyone think that I'm being lazy and didn't try to find my own answers, because I did I just it better to rely on the wisdom of those that have been there. So I would appreciate any information that is given. Also how long was it before that weird feeling you get when food enters your stomach goes away? 

I went from clear liquids to pureed then soft foods so here's my list of what I can remember eating:

Pureed: greek yogurt, cream of wheat, applesauce, refried beans

soft: soft boiled/poached egg, salmon

 

I know the weird feeling you describe...maybe a month?

But even at 8 months out I still get different weird feelings of uncomfortable fullness if I eat dry meat, or eat too much, too fast...lots of intestinal gurgling especially with too many carbs....

Similar foods for me - the SF popcicles were great for getting in enough water because they were only a few ounces and I ate them slowly so I didin;t get overfull.  Everything gets better.

My full liquids include:

Water, Water, Water  :) Sugar-Free Crystal Light, Kool-Aid, popsicles, etc. Clear Broth Sugar-Free Jello Skim or 1% (or Soy / Almond) Milk Low-fat, thin, strained soup Sugar-free Instant Breakfast Plain/Light Yogurt (no pieces) Sugar-free pudding or custard Thinned Cream of Wheat or Rice cereal Protein drinks

24 hours clear liquids

then 2 weeks "full liquids" including protein shakes, greek yogurt with protein powder mixed in, hi protein cream of chicken soup, hi protein hot chocolate. Those were my main foods during that time.  I was allowed Cream of Wheat, but only tried it once- didn't go well. 

I really appreciate all the feedback from everyone it has really helped me to find other choices and it never hurts to have support.
