The 7-Day Recovery Protocol
A graduated plan to safely transition from clear liquids back to solid food.
The Reset
Focus on hydration and resting the pancreas. Zero fat to give your digestive system complete rest.
Bone Broth
High protein, deeply nourishing. Use homemade or low-sodium store-bought.
Sugar-Free Jello & White Grape Juice
Easy to digest, provides hydration and simple carbohydrates for energy.
Steamed White Fish (Cod/Tilapia)
No oil, seasoned with lemon and herbs. Gentle protein introduction.
Why this works: Protein is essential for healing, but fat triggers enzyme production. We use 0g fat protein sources to bypass pancreatic stress entirely.
The Re-Introduction
Introducing soft textures and complex carbs. Your pancreas starts to handle minimal fat loads.
Egg Whites + White Toast
Scrambled dry (no butter or oil). One slice of plain white toast.
Lentil Soup
Vegetable broth base, packed with protein and fiber. No cream or oil.
"Faux-Fried" Rice
White rice, soy sauce, egg whites, peas & carrots — sautéed in broth instead of oil.
Why this works: Soft soluble fibers like lentils help digestion without straining your system. Complex carbs provide sustained energy while keeping fat minimal.
Reality
Returning to social norms with strict fat modification. You can eat "normal" foods again.
Oatmeal with Fruit & Maple Syrup
Steel-cut or rolled oats, fresh berries, drizzle of pure maple syrup.
Turkey Sandwich
No cheese, load up on veggies, mustard only. Whole grain bread.
"The Safe Burger"
96% lean beef patty, bun, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato. Serve with Popchips.
Why this works: You can eat "normal" food if you strictly control the fat content of the meat and eliminate dairy. The key is choosing ultra-lean proteins and fat-free condiments.
