Supposed to start "normal" foods this Thursday, but I didn't have anything ready for lunch so I had a rotisserie chicken thigh without the skin. Ate the whole thing, but I am stuffed. My stomach is handling well though. It is amazing. Before surgery I could eat half a chicken and still have room for potatoes, veggies and bread.

That's awesome! I can't wait to eat some real chicken. Have you tried anything else now that you're cleared?

Technically I am not cleared for regular food until this Thursday, but I have had some bites of things. I can have low fat cheese, so I have had some weight watchers string cheese with a couple of slices of deli turkey for a snack. I would love to have som fruit, but I don't think I could fit it in and still get all my Protein. I just can't eat enough yet to have both.

Getting the Protein in via food is so difficult especially in the pureed stage, can't wait for solids

What Multi-Vitamin is everyone taking? The one I've been taking, given to me by my nutritionist is a chewable that's chalky and nasty and I think I think to change. Thanks!

How are you guys able to eat raw vegetables so soon? My surgeon says no veggies for 6 months so I’m afraid to eat them. I LOVE asparagus and broccoli!!

Everything is so different! I am basically on no restrictions except salad and a lot of raw veggies and am 4 weeks out today.

I got a women's daily Gummy from costco bc I couldn't stand the chewables. I'll take the few grams of sugar in order to be able to get the Vitamins in !

I purchased the Bariatric Multivitamin with Iron from this site. I bought 12 months worth for $99, so that seemed like a deal and the vitamin/mineral amounts met the guidelines I was given by my surgery team. They are a capsule, but easy to swallow for me.

Wow!! My surgeon says “NO GUMMIES” and “NO RAW VEGGIES”!! No rice, no bread, no popcorn, basically no starch. Everything is so different with every surgeon.

Even veggies that are cooked until soft? Wed. will be 30 days for me and I begin regular food starting with soft Proteins and veggies.
