I wanted to continue our series on answering some of the questions that came to us through private message, “What can I eat after surgery?”
Well, first of all, there are a lot of tools out there that can help when it comes to eating after surgery. Websites, meal plans, recipes, food prep ideas, but first let’s look at some of the guidelines you must follow after surgery.
Rule number one, if you can cut it with a plastic fork then your golden. No crunchy or hard to chew foods! Ideal first foods are pastas, mashed potatoes, soups, applesauce, that type of thing.
We actually have done some of the planning for you. My wife, has done this for me and other family members a couple of times, so we put a book together with recipes and meal prep ideas. You can find it on www.thesmilementor.com. Even better it’s our FREE gift to you. So head to the website, pick a few that look good and enjoy some of our family favorites.
