i'm not suppose to start soft foods until tuesday, but i just couldn't take the full liquids any longer.

i heat up some fat free refried bean and mixed in a little bit of shredded cheese.

it was so good!!

i didn't measure it out - i just did 2 scoops out of the can with a small spoon. i honestly didn't think i would be able to eat all of it, but i did. i took my time and it probably took me about 20 mins of so to finish. i took small bites and put my fork down in between bites.

i didn't feel full or like i overate either.

is it normal to be able to eat more softer foods? i think i'm going to try a scrambled egg tomorrow morning for Breakfast. i just hope i feel a little bit more restriction than i felt with the Beans......

Since you are only 2 days from schedule, it's probably ok, but be careful.

Add a little Greek yogurt for some extra Protein, and it will thin them some too. I ate them on full liquids, which I'm still on, only about 2 TB, when my husband and I went to Ninfa's in Houston. I ate a little of his. They are very thin there and went down easy. I squished them to make sure, but they were fine. I bought a can and did what you did, added a little cheese and yogurt too. I ate just a little. I did feel guilty, like I cheated, but I think they sat heavy with me, but it may have been all in my head.

I did that early out too and I felt sooo much better. I think my body was just happy to have some real food. I tried an egg too and had no issue but I have heard other have trouble so be careful with it.

If you were in France, you would be doing exactly what the doctors tell you! I was worried, as I had no pre-op diet, no breathing exercises, no real post-op dietary advice, except NOT to have liquids only...

Bon appetit!
