I had my 2 week post op visit today. My scars are healing very nicely and my 2 week post op liquid diet was cut so this afternoon I started soft food. I am very happy with my progress so far.

Isn't soft food heaven after all those liquids? *laughs*

I actually had 4 weeks of liquids, it was rough. In fact I was banded on Jan 6 and am just finally starting solid food tomorrow. (had my first fill today, so back to liquids for today)

Glad everything is going well

I was so excited when I started soft foods...if I had to drink one more protein shake I was gonna scream! Congrats on your progress so far!

Oh, ditto times a million on the soft foods. It was like becoming human again to have something other than liquids! Glad to hear all is going well for you.

What kind of soft foods didmyou all eat? Today is my first day and I'm not sure what I feel like eating. Maybe chili with no beans?

someone mentioned the chili at wendys, Im doing soft eggs, lots of Beans, avocados, cottage cheese, and still those Protein Drinks, yogurt now and then, cream Soups, I worry Im not eating enough or Im eating too much,

check the forum for diets/foods here. lots of good ideas,

Puréed black bean soup with salsa and lite sour cream is my new best friend! I also gave myself permission to do mashed potatoes with rf cheese melted and mixed in. It's not low cal and will be a no-no in the future, but right now my focus is on healing and feeling good rather than losing weight. At least until the first fill. I also have done okay with soft scrambled eggs, but I think the key is to go slow and listen to your body. Not everyone can tolerate the same things at the same stages.

I'm doing mashed potatoes tonight with yogurt butter and skim milk. I'm excited about that. First eating my protein so just expecting to be able to have a few mashed potato bites.

I had 3 soft food meals today. 2oz chicken salad 1 slice of cheese.

2oz sliced turkey breast 2 tablespoons apple sauce. Then I had 2oz of chili with 1oz.

grated cheese and 6 saltine crackers. Surprising they were all filling.

Sounds good....congrats! Keep everyone posted.
