Start puree foods!

Woohooo

So, hit me with your 1st 'meal' foods. The nurse suggested an egg or some potato and gravy.

I personally had huge issue with egg which is what my dr told me to try first. Posted here and found out it was not uncommon for eggs to be an issue for some. It may work well for you, but I've tried scrambled egg again since that one very painful day and had repeat of same experience.

Unsure why it impacts some folks this way. I've tried refried Beans, pieces of sliced avocado with a little garlic. The avocado was the first thing I tried after my bad experience with the egg. Then I tried some refried beans (2 ozs)

Egg whites was my first meal with some sugar free BBQ Sauce.< /p>

eggs did not work for me at all. Refried Beans (maybe thinned with broth) were wonderful. Cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt - also wonderful. Pea Soup, lentil soup (maybe in blender if needed). Try to stick with Protein foods. Potatoes would not be a good choice, IMHO.

I had a white bean and sweet potato stew

CONGRATULATIONS 💜

Morning Thanks for your replies!

I had 1 scrambled egg with 1 dessertspoon of tinned tomatoes and mushed it all up well. It was amazingly scrumdiddlyumptious lol. I had no pain or nausea from it.

I did exactly what the nurse said, a mouthful was the size of a 20 pence piece, I chewed 20 times, swallowed, then waited 1 min until the next mouthful.

So 1 egg took approx 30 mins to eat and was cold by the end, but my tastebuds were singing with joy haha

I am trying potato now for lunch and eating it exactly the same way as the egg, tiny amount, 'chewed' (a bit hard as I blended it with chicken salt and Water so is like baby food consistency) and then waiting 1 minute until the next 'mouthful'.

Seeing as potato is so starchy it may well trigger a 'dumping', but I have been dreaming of potato with mince and gravy for a month lol So I have fingers, toes, eyes, legs and arms crossed it doesn't make me dump, (i wish we had another easy word for dumping syndrome).

I am going to go and get some ricotta later so I can make that ricotta bake that looks delicious.

Because I initially had a sleeve done they had told me no puree food for another 2 weeks yet, so when I had my Bari Nurse check-up last night she remembered that I could start puree foods now seeing as I ended up with an emergency bypass! So the things I had planned on buying to try pureed I don't have in yet, so good excuse to have a little walk to the shop and get a few bits

Oh no! I know they say our tastes really change but for it all to taste disgusting isn't good.

Just a thought have you got oral thrush maybe? Because that can drastically alter taste.

Congrats on graduating!!!! I had a soft scrambled egg with cottage cheese in it and some cheddar. The cheese caused me issues, but stirring in a spoon of greek yogurt or sour cream and cooking until creamy would have worked better! The egg went down great though!

Potato??? I was told never to eat potato ever again. Starch = no bueno

My first foods were egg salad and beanless chili.

Yep, blows me away how we are all told such different things!

Even in the sample menu they gave me potato is in one of the meals! [emoji15]
