6 week post TG - meal plan?

Hi I found it much easier after six weeks as I could gradually introduce new foods rather than the soft diet. I also counted calories using an App as that helped me know if I was eating enough calories. The opposite of trying to lose weight! I added cream to potatoes and full fat yoghurt to breakfast often having porridge! I never ate that before! I didn’t suffer from dumping syndrome which helped! 

You will be able to eat out! Sometimes I share a starter with my husband and then have a main course. Eating out was an important part of our life so I just went to places I knew and planned what I was going to eat! I now eat out as before!

You will get there! 

That's reassuring to hear. Thanks Jac

Did you lose much weight during this time and have you been able to put any back on if so?

Yes I lost weight before diagnosis and during treatment. I always watched my weight before I was diagnosed but wasn’t overweight. 
It took about two months after surgery to start putting weight on and I did worry about it. 
That’s why I started measuring calories and used my Fitbit at the time to track. It stopped me panicking! I just focused on eating high calories and high protein foods. All the things I had spent my life cutting down.. cheese, full fat milk, yoghurt, avocados with eggs was a regular lunch! You might need to watch dairy products in case it causes dumping. 
I went out for coffee and pastries with my husband in the morning or afternoon! I didn’t drink water during a meal but had some afterwards. 
It does feel as if all you do is eat and drink! But it gets easier as your new plumbing adjusts!
