I'm just shy of two weeks out from surgery and will soon be transitioning to pureed and soft foods (yay!) After drinking the same protein shakes for over a month pre and post op, I'm looking forward to having more options, but I'm afraid of getting a little overzealous and starting out with something too harsh for my new stomach. For those of you past this phase, what foods did you find easiest to add back at this stage? How long did you stick with pureed foods before adding back whole soft foods? I just want a bite of chicken so bad! [emoji24] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions! My doctor has given me a list of foods I'm allowed to have which thankfully does include chickena and most of the things mentioned. But the list combines the pureed and soft food stages, so I was just wondering what was easiest on your pouch starting off before I dive straight in from protein shakes.

The best thing I brought was a small portable battery to recharge my phone. It was much more convenient than relying on a nearby outlet and/or nurse to charge up. I also got a front closure no wire bra and it made dressing for discharge and the days immediately after much much easier. Best of luck to you! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm just shy two weeks out, and this is honestly the only thing keeping me from loosing it. I've had my pureed/soft foods grocery list made up for at least a week and I frequently add to and revise it. It's the only way to convince myself to drink yet *another* protein shake.
