Breakfast:

Dannon Light Greek Yogurt is still what I eat every morning.

lunch

I would do steamed cauliflouer and mix in a wedge of laughing cow cheese, salt and pepper and puree

or

Cottage cheese- small curd

or

Vegetable Soup pureed

Dinner: Refried Beans, pureed

or

Cottage Cheese- small curd

or

Vegetable Soup pureed

Of course you can still do your Protein shakes to get in your Protein

SF Jello Puddings- 60 cal

I'm sure there are many others but these were my staples through this stage.

Best of luck and congrats on moving on to the next stage!!:-)

Ok so I'm finally able to move away from the staples of my life; the beloved Jello and broth. Any suggestions how to start, what to eat morn, noon night? I'm just trying to wrap my head around what a day looks like.

Didn't your doctor provide a list of items you can eat? No one should have to ask these questions on an online forum. You should have detailed instructions of what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat.

If you did not receive this information, demand it. This is not the way to start your journey. You need information or you will get into trouble. Eating with the band is not instinctive at all and I am concerned for you that you will not receive the support you deserve and are paying for.

Please call or see your doctor or nutritionist as soon as possible. Good luck.

Thank you enjoythetime. You're response was very helpful and greatly appreciated. To see how the foods all fit in within a day. Getting a list from my nutritionist wasn't enough for me. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom ????

I started soft foods last week and here are some of the things I eat: scrambled eggs, tuna with light mayo, canned chicken with light mayo, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, thinned oatmeal, deli turkey with laughing cow cheese wedge, pintos and cheeses go made like Taco Bell, turkey meatballs in blender with some Pasta Sauce. My doc told me I could have any soft food that I could cut with a cheap plastic fork and it not break.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
