I'm only 5 days postop and 5 days into my 21 day liquid diet. But I can't help but "dream" of the feeling of getting to chew something on postop day 22. That leads me to my question, what was your first real food, not liquid food, postop?

Refried beans. Yummy!!! I ate two spoonfuls and I was done!

OMG Amy I so want to chew on something too. I just told Russell tonight that I wasn't hungry but I really wanted to sink my teeth into something.

I was thinking of calling you earlier but time got away from me and I don't like calling people late. I told you I pinned so many food things on Pinteret last night that I could feed myself for quite some time. Have you been thinking about what your first food will be? I did have a Popsicle tonight and you'd have thought it was gourmet the way I was enjoying it! Nice to see you on here.

I also had refried beans with a little cheese and salsa. I had been on liquids for almost a month at that point, including pre-op diet, and I swore the beans were the best thing I had ever tasted.

I'm thinking retried beans with cheese and my favorite restaurant salsa might be my first food too. Man, just talking about it makes my mouth water! Come on postop day 22!!

Mine was Chili. Yum!!

Oh, that sounds good too. By the time I get to postop day 22, I will probably have a list as long as my arm of foods I wanna eat!

Mine was also 2 bites of refried beans and they were absolute heaven. I posted a picture on my Facebook page as it was truly a significant moment for me.

Oh My God! I blogged about this so much. All I could think about was eating a scrambled egg. The incredible edible egg!! It was heaven when i took my first bite and I savored every minute of it. I might have eaten a little too much that day.

Can we add ketchup to the egg? Not a salsa fan lol

I had half and egg with cheese.. and ketchup on the side =) Loved it!!!! WOW .. You learn to appreciate food and water. I set my timer for 30 mins after I ate and had me some water.. Feels soo good =)

It looks like eggs and retried beans are the popular first foods. I just finished up 1 of my 3 weeks of liquids and I so can't wait for real food! It's gonna be a long 2 more weeks. The positive thing though is I'm not getting in many calories so my weight loss should be good. :-)
