When I got home, I had a bit of morningstar black bean burger with american cheese, sugar free ketchup and mustard and 1/4 a slice of toasted whole what bread. Then before bed, my new favorite Protein Drink.

Unjury chocolate splendor with sugar free raspberry Syrup and a shot of the sugar free caramel. It's delightful.

The raspberry is by far my favorite for flavoring yogurt and Protein Drinks.< /p>

Turkey chili with cheese... was delicious! I have a hard time not eating too much because I don't have the full feeling and it doesn't hurt or anything. I also get THIRSTY during or right after I eat. It is hard to not drink anything for awhile after eating. Anyone else deal with that?

When I started soft foods, I just took a couple bites and then waited for about 10-15 minutes to see if anything would happen. I was petrified of dumping. I have been able to eat a lot of things, had no problems with it. I started out with really soft food like tilapia. I would eat a few bites, then have a few sips of the Protein Shake in the beginning to make sure that my tummy could handle the soft stuff and to avoid getting constipated. That worked really well. I did the same thing with everything I tried u til I knew my pouch could handle it. Salmon burgers from Walmart were really easy to eat and like 22g of Protein for 2.8oz (I split it into 2 meals and added some cheese on both of them to up the protein. Was really soft. Good luck hun!! You are probably soooo excited to finally be at the soft food stage. We had surgery the same day, I can hardly imagine waiting that long to progress.

I ate regular tartar sauce (just a little small amount) with my tilapia and had no problems. It is made just like regular mayo. That is just me, I haven't had issues with anything I have eaten. I haven't tried chicken yet. Still a little worried about it getting stuck. I heard that is one of the hardest things to eat.

2 oz chicken breast with some pureed southwestern black bean Soup over top as sauce and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Yummy!
