Starting on solids?

[FitSmash 8]

I'm still on week two but I'm curious as to how the transition from the liquids/pureeds was to solids. Easy? Difficult? Painful? Any opinions?

On the third week..I could eat soft foods. It was difficult for me to keep food down. I had to stay on soft food longer than what was recommended. I was in no rush..I was patient to go from one stage to another. After 6 weeks ..I was healed enough to eat anything that was one my food protocol. Don't rush the process. If u have a little difficulty in one stage.. Stay there before u move on to another stage. I.. Call your dr if you cannot progress at all to another stage.

To me the food kind of felt heavy. My first food was a scrambled egg and I could only eat half of it. I had the best luck with yogurt and still do. I get a little nauseated every time I eat but it only lasts about 10-15 mins. I haven't had any pain.

Add new foods one at a time. On the way home from my appointment where I was given to go-ahead for solid foods, I stopped at Wendys and had 1/3 cup of chili and four french fries. One thing I did not tolerate was steamed cauliflower - thought I was going to die. Even now at three months, I can still handle meats better than steamed veggies. Lettuce gave me the whistling **its, so I am not trying that again until about six months. I go easy on fruits because of the carbs, but I put berries in my shakes.

I have been blessed with my sleeve. It seems to tolerate anything except dry meat like chicken breast. The key is to eat slow and chew very well, I have also noticed when I do this, I am satisfied very easily which is nice.
