I am undergoing intestinal surgery tomorrow and the surgeon said that during recovery I will be advised to stay away from fiber for a few weeks.

This gets me thinking โ€” are there any high volume foods or meals that are low in fiber?

  • Puffed wheat/rice/kamut, rice cakes, cream of wheat...don't know if Greek yogurt or eggs would be considered high volume. I had several intestinal surgeries years ago and I ate a lot of yogurt and cream of wheat in the first few weeks. You might not feel like volume eating after the surgery, though. It took a while for me to get my appetite back - I was hoping that would be permanent, but it wasn't! Good luck and try to just focus on finding nutritious foods that are easy on the digestive system as you recover.

    Appreciate this so much ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿซถ

  • Instant mashed potatoes?

  • alot of veggies are more water-volume than fiber

  • if youโ€™re feeling diabolical, a crap ton of jello would make a good dessert ๐Ÿ˜›
