Oh yeah, I'm missing food. I dream about food almost every night. I'd sure love a slice of pizza, but I just keep telling myself this post op diet isn't forever I will be able to enjoy food again, but now instead of eating half a pizza ill be satisfied with a slice or less when are you cleared to start regular foods? I have one more week to go and I can start introducing soft foods

Btw I like your username jkfletch

I have been doing really good with yogurt, and cottage cheese. I tried some softly scrambled eggs and that was good. I just had to eat really slow. I also made some cream of wheat (kinda soupy) and that was good too. I found that every time I want to add something new to my diet I just have to eat it really slow so that I can feel if my tummy is going to like it or not. I can normally tell in a bite or two how I am going to take it. Good luck everyone Keep up those liquids

Two of my friends had the surgery before me.. both at different hospitals. My one friend 8 months out says a half slice of pizza and she is good. For the most part she does well to eat healthy. My other friend one year out says.. "it's not what you eat it's how much you eat." both have lost 80lbs. I know everyone's journey is different, I just pray for a successful one.

I can't have eggs until next week and meats until week 6. Were you sleeved on the.11 th. Is it pureed? Pasta was a no.no.

Just started soft foods. It's been a new experience. I am enjoying it. I am down 32 lbs so far. Almost half way to my goal. I, like everyone else, I hope have the struggle with getting the fluids in along with Protein.< /p>

That seems like a long time. Are you on full liquids? I had eggs day 9. Started puréed day 14 and I start soft foods on the 9th even though I've had some already per the nutritionist.
