BDME 138 Posted October 20, 2017 As I roll into week 2 I get to expand my food horizons. My uncle made his famous southern style Butter Beans and I decided to give it a go. My little pouch was happy! No upsets! I decided to use a baby spoon to eat. Which helped keep the eating portions down. I ate 4 tablespoons! (Small victories) please feel free to send your favorite soft foods. I cannot wait to finally be able to have an egg tomorrow! 1 njgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walleyecrazy 120 Posted October 20, 2017 I have my first post op visit today and am hoping to be told I’m good to go on to puréed foods. I absolutely cannot wait to eat an egg and some refried Beans. Good to hear that your first venture into this category has gone well. That had to taste amazing coming off of full liquids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njgal 535 Posted October 20, 2017 I started off with cottage cheese and when that worked just fine I tried some yogurt. Both were OK. I also had no problems with eating oatflakes and milk (I eat them cold) but that was last night, and this morning I feel like they’re still there... so maybe not try that again so fast, we’ll see.

Like before bed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njgal 535 Posted October 20, 2017 Did you eat late? Like before bed? No, I was careful to leave 1.5 hrs before bed. Maybe just too much texture too soon? I’ll best give it a week before I attempt it again.Thanks for checking! 1 Sherry Rice reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly with how finicky these sleeves are it could have been anything. Glad it wasn’t painful though. I tried to eat some mashed sweet potato too soon (2 days ago) and was in so much pain. But I ate the Beans yesterday and I was fine. It changes day by day what the sleeve decides it wants to handle. So I think giving it a week will probably help. Sending you good vibes! 1 Nataliesmom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctdan 35 Posted October 20, 2017 I lived on grits when I started pureed, just start slow I was 3 weeks out when allowed bland pureed foods. Buffalo chicken puree made me pretty uncomfortable that week.5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 253 GW: 190 1 njgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had my appointment and they want me to wait until Tuesday to go to stage 2. I guess that’s standard for my doctor’s program. They want you on stage 1 for two weeks before going to stage 2. As much as that sucks it was kind of overshadowed by the fact that I found out I have lost 20lbs since my surgery date. I guess what I’m doing is working so it won’t kill me to wait 4 more days.
