kiwiladydee 402 Posted August 6, 2012 I've had so much trouble finding food to eat, I thought we could share what worked and what did not. Great items that work Apple slices and breakstone cottage cheese Yougart Crab legs Salmon Asparagus Soups - Tomato, French onion Almond milk All low fat cheese Cubed steak Vienna sausages Ham slices - boars head low sodium from deli oatmeal with Splenda Did not work eggs Taco seasoning pineapple Protein Shakes that are not soy based Peanut Butter - feels heavy Grapes - more than 4 or 5 Surprise it stayed down! About a 1/4 of a whole piece Inside only - none of the white part - of the pot sticker inside ony - none of the fried part - on mozerella stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irshangel 13 Posted August 6, 2012 Hi everyone ,sounds good all the food your getting down. My question is, when does the sipping stop? I know I will always have to be mindful of how I eat (slowly) . Just curios how long it took to stop this sipping ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judid 54 Posted August 6, 2012 I've been able to drink without sipping from the beginning. I don't gulp but I can drink a normal sip without issues. I would try and see if you could take a full sip. I'm two months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
