Survived first day of soft foods! Yay!

[Emilee68 46]

The day has come to an end and I survived my first day of soft foods!! Here's what I had...breakfast 4 tablespoons of scrambled egg whites, lunch pkg of Carl budding turkey breast and sugar free strawberry Jello, snack was chocolate Premier Protein, dinner 1/2 tilapia fillet with 2 tablespoons of French style green Beans. It took me roughly 30 min on each meal but i knew exactly when to quit on each meal and I chewed chewed chewed! I'm so proud of myself!! Best Monday ever! Just had to share!

P.S. I hit my first goal weight today too! 30 lbs down!!

Great job!

Looking forward to getting there. Love me some canned salmon! Probably will be my first soft food.

I am afraid I won't be able to. I am supposed to start on Saturday but I can't even eat all my pureed food. Even taking my time I can't even get down a quarter of a fourth of a cup of oatmeal in under an hour! I feel like I'll never make it! How did your pureed stage go Emilee68?

I didn't have a purée stage. My dr had me do full liquids first 3 weeks post op then soft solids for 3 weeks then solids. I can't eat alot now. It's extremely small portions.

How did you know when to stop eating? Was it a normal fullness?

No to me it feels different. It kinda feels like there's a lump in your chest...it's hard to describe. Before the sleeve when I would feel full. My stomach would feel all bloated out and I would a general feeling of being stuffed. But now it doesn't bloat out or anything like that. I just had the lump or fullness in my chest...it's not uncomfortable or painful or anything like that. I can just tell and I'm like ok that's it. It doesn't take much though. I can only get through about 2 oz of albacore tuna and it takes me about 30 min to eat that. It's a good feeling though. I know I can't gorge myself! Lol
