What was your first meal when starting soft foods?



Recommended Posts

I get to start soft foods and I'm craving a scrambled egg with a little salsa sooo bad! What was the first thing you ate when starting soft foods?

A fabulous cheese and mushroom omelette with salsa in a restaurant that was heavenly, now of course what's funny is that I'm still eating the damn thing 2 days later...!! Meals have to be the size of my palm according to my doc

I love it! made me laugh - "the best thing I've ever eaten...!!" ha.. that's great. What a journey we're on.

But I tell you, it's easy to see now how so many people after this surgery gain back every single pound! It's so clearly now just one tool, one excellent behavior modification tool to be added to the changes WE must make in order for this process to work properly. I feel so far that I've met the surgery half way, at least, by having lost some 40 lbs pre-op and by having established a decent cardio, weights, meditation and therapy regimen before surgery that are now being maintained. This is hard, I can easily see why many good folk have failed. It flies in the face of the behaviors I indulged in for decades.

I'm at 60 days post-op, not even TWO months, and I feel like it's been an eternity because everything's just so different; different and exciting as weight is flying off of me. I've been just switched to soft foods, anything I can cut with a fork easily, and so only ONE day I went a little berserk, but the funny thing is that "berserk" for me now was a whopping 1400 calorie day..! Lol, in the old days that could be ONE meal...My guess is that as a 6'2" 205 lbs man that 1400 will be just under maintenance once goal weight of 190 or 195 is reached, it might actually still be considered in the "weight loss" range. Good luck to us all

Mine was chili with 2 fritos mashed up in it! It tasted yummy but, I could only have a few bites! :)

Mine was Queso fresco, digests well; followed in a day or two with s scrambled egg(not so digestible surprisingly). Salmon also not so. Soups (homemade always) still eat 5-6 times s week

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
