Uh, my surgeon - and I specifically asked him - told me that nothing was off limits but to "eat close to the dirt," in other words, eat whole foods, not processed. He said to be cautious, of course, that my body would let me know if it wasn't ready or didn't like it...yes, thank you eggs, got the message! He did say to stay away from artificial sweeteners of every kind. No problem with that since everything is so damn overly sweet, I rarely need to add anything, if I do it's raw honey. (Dr. Keshishian is all about beekeeping)
I started carefully adding things in after my 3rd week. The shakes and yoghurt were giving me awful diarrhea. I was having trouble keeping hydrated from it. Tuna with mayo, chicken wings, watermelon cubes, and some lunch meats were my first successes. Cucumber was hurtful.
I didn't try bacon and char shui pork loin until week 5 - all good. Burger King bacon cheeseburger - bunless - at week 6. Fried deli chicken thigh at week 6 - no bueno! That was an awful painful night, and I didn't eat hardly any skin!
Edited to add: oh coffee! I miss my morning coffee...I've tried it a couple times and I'm in the bathroom a bit more often. I think it's getting better though - I had a Breve at Starbucks yesterday and only had one bathroom run.
