Hi I’ve recently had my operation to remove tumour. 5 days ago. I’m struggling with what to eat, I’ve been eating yoghurt, custard and sofft foods but I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on things to try.
Hi . Are you still in hospital and do you have a stoma? I lived off jacket potatos (without the skin) and cottage cheese, toast and rice crispies for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch. You could try introducing a few new foods gradually and see how you go? There’s a few ideas on this link
Are you struggling because of your appetite? I had my bowel resection in May '18, & remember the day after my Op, whilst still in hospital - I was ravenous, despite the sign above my bed saying 'Nil by mouth.' Nurse didn't mind - & for the 3 days there, I ate everything that was going on the food trolley! I was never given advice re. diet, & once home, I continued with my normal favourite foodstuffs - to include curries & wine. I never made any changes.
