kcdavidson42 10 Posted March 8, 2015 Hi All. I was sleeved on 2/23 and I am allowed to begin soft foods today. I have eaten about 2 bites of a banana and it didn't go well. It felt like it got stuck half way down and I could feel it in my chest for a while. Any tips on transitioning for full liquids to soft foods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Peter 39 Posted March 8, 2015 stick with Protein for now, and chew the heck out of it. I think bananas are too heavy. try cottage cheese, greek yogurt, soft veggies, etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSF 264 Posted March 8, 2015 I agree. Yogurt, Soup , eggs, cottage cheese Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Peter 39 Posted March 8, 2015 I've been sipping Soups and such. Today my wife made some vegetable Soup with carrots, celery and kale. It went down with no problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,722 Posted March 8, 2015 Scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, and other soft cheeses (Google Shelly's Baked Ricotta!). I don't think I was allowed fruit that soon out from surgery. I was supposed to be getting Protein protein protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kcdavidson42 10 Posted March 8, 2015 I tried scrambled eggs. I got about two bites in and now I feel completely nauseous. Is this normal? I did fine all last week with cream Soups and greek yogurt but today everything has made me sick to my stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSF 264 Posted March 8, 2015 I've noticed that every time I tried something new- I had trouble eating it the first time and that it gets easier the more I eat it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Peter 39 Posted March 8, 2015 Today I have been so hungry and I have eaten too much, I think So far 2 protien shakes 3 cups of Soup 1/2 cup of greek yogurt with some fruit cocktail (unsweetened) I'm still hungry thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slimsoon1988 123 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I'm moving to full protein/mushy phase next week. When everyone says they are having Soup, what kind? Are you eating the food in the soup? So far I am only drinking the broth. And would I be able to have hummus during this phase? Edited March 8, 2015 by Slimsoon1988 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Peter 39 Posted March 8, 2015 vegetable Soup, home made. Carrots, celery, lake and some asparagus. I'm eating all of them. Might try some lentil or bean soup next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSF 264 Posted March 8, 2015 I had Clam Chowder, no problem eating it and a crab bisque. Also vegetable Soup and lentil soup. If your still hungry, have some Jello or sugar free Popsicles. I had fudgesicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far I am only drinking the broth. And would I be able to have hummus during this phase? I was allowed strained cream Soups in my full liquid stage. I was instructed to strain out any chunks, but I ate pretty much every cream soup my grocery store sold! The variety kept me sane. As for hummus, I was able to eat that during my soft food/puree stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
