FIRST SOFT FOOD!

[L I G H T S 15]

I am officially 2 weeks post-op and today is the day I get my ONE egg! I have been patiently waiting for this moment. I made it soft-boiled, with a touch of salt and pepper. I'm about halfway done- and getting full. This is crazy! I remember when I could knock out a 4-egg omelette to myself!

Next week I get to start yogurts, shaved turkey, soft fish, etc. For now? This egg is the bomb!! So tired of liquids

That's exactly what I keep saying: this is crazy! I can't believe what in ok with eating now. What used to be an extremely small appetizer-like serving is now my entire meal! I had an egg and a sausage patty for lunch yesterday and that was it! Those two things would have been gone in two, maybe three bites before, along with several pieces of bacon, toast, hashed browns, and two or three pancakes. No wonder we're such an overweight society!

Oh man, hashed browns sound good right about now! [emoji23]

Yes, I can definitely see where I went wrong in my diet before. The amount I was consuming before was ridiculous! Forever grateful for this tool. Glad to hear it's working well for you, too!!

Today is my first scrambled egg too! It tastes amazing! I could easily scarf down a 4-egg omelet as well. Can't believe how long it takes to eat one egg!

I remember the excitement of moving through the food stages. Each new food (well-cooked green Beans, cottage cheese, string cheese, then eggs, then soft fish, etc., etc., etc.) brought some variety into the rather drab early post-op experience, and made me work harder to meet my Protein and Water goals.

You'll probably find some new love for some of these foods. At 7 months post-op, I still have cottage cheese, string cheese, and well-cooked green beans every single day!

Enjoy.

Yaaayy! That's awesome!
Tomorrow I'll be trying mine scrambled - it's so exciting [emoji23] I'm going to try a new way to prepare it everyday so it doesn't get boring.

Wow congrats on 7 months! I am surely looking forward to moving through the stages. Any advice you could give on managing the water intake? I feel like after my egg I can drink anything more! Extremely difficult.

In addition to my food journal, I keep a consumption record every day that plots out when I eat and drink (allowing for the 30 minute before and after eating buffer). I eat 7-8 times per day about 2 hours apart. I drink 32 oz of water after Meals 1 and 2, 16 oz of water after Meal 3, 16 oz of Powerade Zero after Meal 5, and 8 oz of Powerade Zero mixed with 8 oz of water after Meal 7. It takes me about 12-14 hours to get it all in each day, but I do. I started doing this as soon as I was back on solid foods, and I have done it every day since. It is just routine now.

Wow- that's great. Thank you for the insight, I'll definitely try to manage. A food journal seems like a smart idea!

Loved eggs before surgery. Now I can't tolerate them in any form. [emoji30][emoji30][emoji30]
