I'll be able to start soft solids soon. YAY! There've been a few things I've been curious about. I looked at my nut's plan and it's not very clear so I looked at the Northwest Obesity Plan...still not clear.

When were yall able to have:

Cereal (like cheerios)

slices of cheese or cheese sticks

VEGETABLES! I'm craving veggies so badly. I would love some squash or zucchini or mushrooms or something... esp carrots.. carrots would be good too.

fruit? Aside from bananas what kind of fruit did yall start off on?

Is there anything else yall started introducing during the soft solids stage that hasn't even entered my mind yet? Anything that's a definite "don't even think about it yet"?

On soft foods, I could have veggies that were steamed or canned fork squishy. I avoided seeds like Tomato seeds, cucumber seeds, and zuchinni seeds. I also was told to not eat celery unless I destringed it even if it was cooked soft.

Fruit. I was allowed canned fruit, again squishy. I was told to go easy on the fresh fruit due to the tough digestion of fibrous foods. Absolutely NO peels. I also had a small applesauce or two.

I really didn't do cereal because of the low Protein and fear of becoming a slider food. I tried mixing flavorless Protein with my oatmeal, but it made a weird texture, and if it got the least bit hot, it clumped.

I did have string cheese in tiny well chewed bits, but not at first.

Melted cheese was fine.

mostly protein, tuna, other fish, ground meats, chicken cooked moist and tender, cottage cheese, greek yogurt.

I wasn't allowed raw fruits and veggies until 6 weeks. I loved my first salad.

Can't help with the Cheerios--don't like cold Cereal so I don't eat it. However, I could have oatmeal with a lot of milk in mushy stage. Let your Cheerios get mushy.

I had melted cheese over refried Beans during softs. I didn't eat cheese sticks until the go-ahead for all foods. They still fill me up too fast.

Vegetables--well-cooked veg at all foods--no salad or raw carrots for 3 mos.

I ate a lot of applesauce, peaches and pears in the blender, etc. during softs.

Good luck!

When did yall do canned spinach? I was thinking about it last night and it seemed to fit all the requirements? Canned....soft... no skin... no seeds...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
