favoredone 590 Posted January 15, 2012 So, I'm almost a month out.. (Tomorrow will be 4 weeks!!).. And I've finally transitioned to regular foods... with a few exceptions.. but I'm SOOOOO glad to have something that is MEAT!!! Right now, I'm having dinner and I have 4 small turkey meatballs (Perdue brand) w/ a few broccoli florets and a tsp of Tomato cream sauce and I feel like I'm in heaven!!! I may not finish it all (seems like such a SMALL amount compared to the big bowl I would have!!), but the burst of flavor and spices... Yum, YUm, YUM!! Just wanted to share my excitement... What are you having for dinner? ?? 3 makeitworkVSG, Tenshi and augustkiwi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illgeturhairdid 176 Posted January 16, 2012 I have been positevely dying for fruit and veggies! I thought I wasn't supposed to start on these items until 3 months out- well today I re-read all my handouts and realized I could have started on these items 2 weeks ago! So- I'll be honest- fruits and veggies are on my menu for dinner tonight and I'll make up the Protein in the form of liquid with some nectar Protein Powder. If you haven't tried it there is a sample bag of all the flavors you can get at mybariatricpantry.com. They are such a refreshing change for the other powders.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda 3.0 140 Posted January 16, 2012 I get to try to eat an egg today. Other than that, still on liquids/pureed foods for two more weeks. Congratulations on real food! My surgery was only one day later than yours, so many different regimens out there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
