Starting regular food

[justabitunique 29]

When you started regular foods, what did you try? I don't start for another week and a half, but I know I will be really nervous to be able to eat whatever. I don't really know what to start trying first

One of the first things I started (and I asked my nutritionist about it first), was steak. My daughter and her hubby were coming over Christmas Eve and my husband planned to cook out steaks. I was JUST at regular foods stage. I had no problem at all. I cut it into tiny pieces and took my time. I did real well with it. I also made twice baked potatoes with sour cream (light) and cheese, so I had that along with the steak. No problems at all. Ate about 2 oz steak and a few bites of twice baked potato. I am currently at 9 weeks post op.

I have to say, there is nothing that I haven't tolerated well since my surgery. I guess I am one of the lucky ones.

Im the exact opposite. I actually keep a list of things I cannot eat: skittles, boneless chicken wings, anything spicy, taco bell, cottage cheese...

I would start out slow. Eat slow. Chew your food a LOT. Tiny tiny bites. I would start with something kind of soft like cheese... maybe boiled chicken with some sort of sauce...I stay away from mariner sauce because it makes my tummy hurt. Maybe you could tolerate cottage cheese but I can't. tuna...

Good luck! Update us on how things go!!

No steak for me. I was told to wait at least 6 months before trying it...I can wait!
