Ooh Zoodles are a great idea, thank you!

Thanks! Will definitely try these

Hey guys! I'm 2 weeks into the solid food stage and I'm craving some veggies but I'm scared of how my sleeve will take it. I've just been going on protein for the past 2 weeks but I am looking for some sides to pair them with. Any suggestions? What did you start with and how did you make them? Thank you!

tofu was a lifesaver for me in the soft stage, especially when I couldn't tolerate the shakes anymore

Ooh yum! Will try that

Oh man that's tough. Weirdly I found that ground pork was the easiest for me to start with

Same here- I get this pain in the middle of my chest if I eat too fast or don't chew well enough. Unfortunately I still throw up whenever this happens but it does serve as a good reminder.

Nice! I'm lucky to even get 3 oz of anything now but here's to hoping

Thank you! I do miss having sides and not just pure protein so hopefully I can tolerate those soon

Thanks! Beef works well with me too but chicken doesn't- really strange!

How were you guys with veggies when you were new at the solid food stage? I know we should focus on protein but sometimes I need a bit of variety to pair my proteins with. Any tips?

I know what you mean. There are some proteins I can finish a whole portion but when it comes to beef- I'm only a few forkfulls and I'm done

Nice. I'm excited to get back to steaks but I know I'm definitely not ready for that yet

Good point- sometimes I get full from the taste from chewing it too much rather than being actually full from the portions

Thanks! Chili has worked great for me too. I'm scared to try any more fish from the last time I did but perhaps cod might work since it's a bit more flakey
