First taste of solid food



Recommended Posts

I had my first solid food today, some moist chicken breast. I was in heaven! I have already figured out I may never have warm dinners again! lol It takes so long to chew each bite, after just a couple of bites your dinner is cold. I will trade that weight loss for the cold dinner any day though.

Congratulations, Betty! Isn't solid food great? I think the only people who truly appreciate it are bandsters just coming off mushies and seniors fitted with new dentures.

Wow, Betty, felt like you just got rescued off a deserted island, didn't you? LOL Yea, the cold food reminds me of when the kids were little. Everyone else is done eating when you're just getting started. 35 pounds! Way to go!!:cheeky

Hello Betty~ Congrats on your weight loss! Keep up the good work! :banana When I started to eat solid food mine was cold too so what I did was bought some baby plates at Toy's R US and because they are made of thin plastic I set them on a small heating plate and it keeps my food warm as I take a half hour to eat it! The plates come in a set and are in solid colors so they don't look childish and there are 2 regular plates, 2 plates with separated compartments and 2 lids.

Yee Haw Betty! I still remember adding REAL food back into my diet... it was heaven... warm or cold! I enjoy food much more than I ever did before... because I actually chew and taste it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
