jmarie 71 Posted June 17, 2013 I am 1 month post op and I feel like all I eat is slushy slop. When will it ever feel normal to eat normal foods without fear of creating a leak! I don't feel human eating this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ASKSARAH - Sleeve 256 Posted June 17, 2013 DO don;t eat mushy slop. Eat real foods that are soft. Make Ricotta cheese and sauce with mozzarella on top. Microwave for a minute or put in oven and there ya go. dinner. 2 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 and Arts137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted June 17, 2013 Hang in there, it only feels like forever. :-) I was able to move to soft foods by my 6th week. My meals consisted mainly of chicken run through a food processor and refried Beans, sometimes I'd make a little chicken salad. So it never really felt like I was eating soupy foods all the time. But after 3 weeks, I never was concerned about causing a leak. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MystiGal 143 Posted June 17, 2013 Hello. I am 4 weeks post op. What exactly are you eating? I was cleared for soft foods a week ago. I eat things like: eggs, egg salad, chicken salad, guacamole, hummus, sweet potatoes, baked/mashed potatoes, deli lunch meats and cheeses, string cheese, yogurt, Beans (baked and refried), fish (salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi), crab, shrimp, bacon, brisket w/ a little BBQ Sauce, lasagna without the Pasta, the inside of an eggroll, rib meat, green beans, cooked carrots, etc... There are tons of options out there - I just make sure whatever I am eating is moist/soft and has some nutritional value. I always look for Protein first and then if I am still hungry, maybe a bite of something else. Be creative! Good luck! 4 Arts137, NeverBeTheSameAgain, ProudGrammy and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No game 14,437 Posted June 17, 2013 I ate my pig slop with glee! (Yes I puréed chicken) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawrence Washington 124 Posted June 17, 2013 I think I may have skipped the whole puree thing... my nut told me soft food like chicken cooked soft, Beans eggs etc... yeah.. and as long as you pay attention to it and dont do a lot of super high in salt, fat and sugar things then you will still shed the weight... i had to cut mayonaiise because it was making me nauseous... I think after a month you pretty much just pay attention to what works and what doesnt work. 2 MystiGal and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
