I was also on soft foods. Looking back at my food log, I see that I was eating eggs, 1/4 c cottage cheese, yogurt, Beans, cheese. Then I added 1- 2 oz of salmon, 2 oz calf liver, lentil Soup. Then 2 oz chicken, 1/8 avacado, 2 oz ground beef, 2 oz cod,

Congrats on your surgery. At one month post surgery I was beginning my soft food phase. Tek was actually correct to ask what’s on your plan. Your medical team should have provided you with guidelines as to what food to be eating at each stage. If you’re on soft food now look for stews, meals from minced meats, steamed/poached fish, eggs, long cooked vegetable & meat Soups, milky porridge, etc. Nothing that requires lots of chewing or is crunchy.
It’s a lot of trial & error to see what your tummy will tolerate & what tastes ok to you. It’s not uncommon for our taste buds to change & for foods we used to enjoy to taste hideous. Go slowly. You’ll soon work out what works for you & what doesn’t. In time, you’ll be able to eat most things & they’ll all taste delicious again (for good or bad 😁).
Are you on meds for the reflux? Ask your doctor for a script for esomeprazole. I take 20mg every day. It makes a big difference.

Fairly early out, I had a small (9 grams weighed on my food scale) of extra dark (low sugar content) chocolate. I did not die. I did not feel like I was going to die. There does not seem to be any lasting ill effects from doing so. Strangely, I rarely crave it at this point, but do have my 81% cocoa chocolate bar in the refrigerator just in case I want a small piece. I agree with the other posters, that it has the potential to get you on a slippery slope so soon after surgery. Be aware of the dangers (dumping, poor weight loss, increased cravings, knowing you can get away with a small piece so maybe a bigger piece is ok too, etc.) and proceed at your own risk. Good luck!

Last nights dinner: Oven roasted pernil on top of salad

Im on a food posting spree today!
Made a lasagna (w/ regular Pasta sheets) from the fam for dinner tonight, and saved some of the insides (the meat sauce & cheese/spinach mixture) for myself to serve over 1/2 a package if shiratake noodles.
Calories for my meal (had I eaten it): 272 calories.
Sat at the table with my bowl and just didn’t feel like eating it though. I’ll see if I want it later, but if not I can always eat it tomorrow.
Ended up having 1 glass of red wine (130 calories) while the fam finished the entire lasagna...must’ve been good! Lol.

So your saying you don't know

October 7th here!😬

I am just wondering if anyone had surgery alone with no family/friends there with you on surgery day? I am getting nervous about my upcoming surgery and won’t have anyone there at all. Is that really out of the ordinary? Will my surgeon and the nurses think it’s odd? Will I be okay without that moral support? Or am I worrying for nothing?
