Post-Op Serving Suggestions & Tips

  • Start Slow: If you’re in the early post-op stages, blend the ingredients into a soft, scrambled version, and remove acidic foods like tomato sauce.
  • Portion Control: If needed, eat half now and save the rest for later.
  • Pair Smartly: Serve with sliced avocado or a light salad for extra nutrients.
  • Watch the Sauce: Choose a low-sugar pizza sauce to keep carbs under control (only on solids)
