Solid Foods/6 weeks post op

[Ang~10~17~17 22]

So my 6 week post op appt is 2 days after my actual 6 week date. I want to try something that day. What is the best solid food to start with? So over this purée.

Baked white fish (covered while cooking so it doesn't brown.. stays tender).

I ate homemade chicken Soup. The soup had the liquid that I was used to and the chicken introduced the solid food which was tender since it was in the soup. The next batch after that I put in some thin egg noodles.

So noodles are ok at some point? I thought Pasta might be out forever

I’m 3 mos and have not had pasta/noodles. I’ve recently had rice in sushi. Some say they can expand in your tummy but I️ didn’t have a problem with sushi. I’ve never loved pasta so haven’t had it. Anything you would eat on rice or pasta can be substituted with quinoa - a better choice I️ think.

My hubby made a low fat Buffalo chicken Dip with shredded chicken breast and it was so good. I just ate it with a spoon and it was great. Crackers were allowed on my plan early out so the second time I ate it I had a few crackers for a little crunch.

Another delish meal was a tuna melt, warmed up the tuna a little with some melted cheese, lettuce for crunch, Tomato and used a Mission Carb Balance wrap which I browned up a little.

BLT's on a lettuce wrap instead of bread. Lettuce boats, low fat mayo, tomato and turkey bacon, or pork if that's what you prefer.

Also homemade chili was another good meal. You could make it with turkey or beef and add to it what you want.

By the time I started solids (10wks) I was allowed to eat anything as tolerated but I know some plans do not allow fresh veggies so you will have to follow what your plan allows of course/

My first solid was a crockpot shredded chicken cooked with low-fat cream cheese and salsa verde

Thanks for all the great ideas! I was super scared to eat anything solid. But I did try just a little on Thanksgiving. A few bites of turkey and ham cut very very small and I chewed them to death. Also a buffalo chicken dip with a few crackers. It all went very well. Thanks again everyone!!

Hi all - I'm about 3.5 weeks out and I was wondering if sometimes you feel absolutely famished and other days you can barely finish your Protein Shake? Yesterday, for the first time, I ate 2 4oz meals and my Protein shake and today I can barely get down my shake! What's the deal? These recipes you all provided make me excited for soft foods next week!

Yes some days I am starving and I feel like I need to eat every 2 hours. And it seems like the day after I eat more often, I’m not as hungry. Good luck in your journey
