Post-gastric surgery diet: What to eat?

Good grief, does absolutely nobody have any idea what’s actually going on here?
😕

I think there was a whole thread about this over on Food Network, if I remember right... maybe?

I think cats put it up there.

I mean, you should probably just try looking for it over there, I guess. Maybe give it a shot?

Give it a search over there if you have a moment.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.😘

I haven't managed to find anything at all

so that’s basically why I am look

My grandfather had stomach surgery due to cancer—I think they performed some kind of gastric bypass or reconstruction.
If that’s the case, maybe some of this will help you; I remember what his diet looked like.

He mostly ate pureed or very finely chopped foods. Everything was cooked, and he avoided fried stuff entirely.

Things like beans or peas that cause bloating weren't recommended at all.

Soft cookies were usually fine.

I remember he mainly stuck to homemade fruit compotes made from seasonal fruit, all finely minced.

For drinks, it was just water or tea.

And he ate small amounts frequently—nothing heavy or hard to digest.

Hopefully, this helps a bit.

Good luck!

I am truly grateful🙂

No worries at all, good luck out there! 🙂

My mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer two months ago.
She lost so much weight that they couldn't even perform surgery, so once we finished her first round of chemo, we started focusing on nutrition to help her regain strength.🙂
The doctors told her she can eat whatever she likes, as long as nothing is raw or overly spicy.
In just one month, she’s actually gained four pounds. Her blood work looks great, her EKG is fine too, and she’s already moving onto her second round of chemo.
She’s also taking aloe and shark liver oil.

That said, I’ve been reading online that cancer patients should avoid meat entirely, yet I’m still giving her a meat-based meal at least once a day.
😕
Am I doing this wrong? The doctors specifically told me to keep doing exactly what I'm doing.😕

🙂 👋

Just let her eat whatever she wants—there’s really no point in stressing over it now... I feel for her.
