Able to eat solid foods on Wed. Can anyone tell me what they started eatting when able to eat solids? I'm a little scared but happy at the same time. I am craving pistachio nuts, do you think I can eat them?

Check with your surgeon/nutritionist on nuts. I couldn't have them until 3 months post-op.

My first solid meat was fajita steak and it was divine, I had had plenty of chicken, tuna salads so I also had chicken breast. solid food wasn't as much fun as pureed foods. I couldn't eat very much solid Protein, it had to be super mushed anyways.

Best wishes, go slow, chew, chew, chew

So far I have been able to eat anything I want with no problem. Grilled talapia is absolutely wonderful. I am eating chicken salad, tuna salad, pimento cheese. I actually ate 1/2 cheese enchilada the other night when I went out to eat with my family. Could be why I'm not losing........ Good luck to you.

This past week I have been eating meats (pulled pork, roast, swiss steak) that have been cooking in the crockpot all day so they pretty much fall apart and then I just chew chew chew them until they are mush and I've been doing great and I also started to lose again this past week!! I have also been eating cooked veggies and they too have been going good! I haven't done any breads or pastas and don't plan on it for while if I can help it! I also have done anything too "hard" like chips or anything!

Good Luck!!
