Whoo Hoo! My First Post-Op Meal Went Smoothly!

[Liberated Sleeve 148]

Well I did it!! My first post-op meal of real food was today! I hate scrambled eggs so I made myself a fried egg (used tiny bit of Crisco olive oil spray), smashed it up real well with my fork. Also made a real tiny potato (mashed and blended in my magic bullet). Total food prepared was probably about 1/3 cup. I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat it all, but was counting on leftovers. I was able to eat 3/4 of the egg and about 1/4 of the potato. So about 2.5 tablespoons. Doesn't sound like much but after 3 weeks of liquids (no mushy stage) it was awesome and I was completely satisfied. I stopped after burping twice and my nose started to run a little bit! I had read so many of your accounts on here that I used that as my trigger and felt the fullness!

LOVE IT - LOVE IT - LOVE IT!! :wub:

Yum! I can't wait to eat an egg!! After my 8 days of clears, and 2 weeks of full liquid, i am suppposed to have 2 more weeks of pureed before eating real food:( sounds kinda dumb to me, because if you chew really good, anything turns pureed! Wonder why all of the doctors have such a big difference in their post op diets??

I know it seems crazy that they are so different. Mine moved from 3 weeks Clear Liquids to soft foods. So I started with between soft & pureed I guess. You can puree a fried egg though! LOL - I'm sure it won't be pretty but the taste will still be the same!

I'm on soft liquids for only two weeks, then soft foods.

I had two weeks of full liquids and starting yesterday I moved up to two weeks of "mushy, pureed." eggs are on my list for the mushy pureed stage as well as mashed potatoes and refried Beans. Also I can have low fat cheese to
