Moving onto soft solids!

[KK66 61]

I thought this day would NEVER get here. After weeks of fluids, fluids, I can finally have something with substance!

Saw my surgeon today and had my nutrition group. Onto protein!

I went to visit my friend this afternoon after my appointments and she made me some tunafish with mayo (she was thrilled my first 'meal' was with her!...lol)

I tolerated a couple of tablespoons of it without any issue at all. I took my time and waited for thirty minutes before drinking.

It went really well

Now I am having a scoop of baked ricotta (great recipe). I bought really good ingredients from whole foods and a wonderful basil marinara. It tastes pretty darn good.

I am happy to say goodbye to Protein Drinks for a while!!!

Scrambled egg tomorrow with some goat cheese.< /p>

It's the little things that get me excited I guess.

Down 21 lbs (pre and post op)

I am having my first meal as we speak...after 6 weeks (2 preop and 4 postop ) it feels wonderful to eat. I wish you the best of luck!!

What are you able to eat?

[KK66 61]

Protein the first week..very moist; so stewed meats, tuna with mayo

Refried Beans (top with cheese)

soft fish (poached, baked, moistened with lemon)

Anything that can be broken down well in my mouth first. No piece bigger than your baby fingernail.
