Sooooo my doctor said I was on soft foods, which means I can have all sorts of foods like cheese, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, eggs,(omelette is my favorite!) but he also said I could have Melba toast, ground turkey, lunch meats and crispy toast. So confusing on the crispy stuff. I tried a bite of a plain turkey burger, chewed it untill it was basically nothing (because I'm still scared to eat stuff because of healing) but I loved it.... I'm just hoping I did nothing wrong. :/

Btw I'm 25 days post op.... That's why I'm concerned.

You'll be fine as long as you chewed it up real well. Surgeon told me the stomach is fully healed after four weeks, I think they just err on the side of caution when phasing you back into solid foods.

Also, the longer you are on the liquid/soft stuff the more weight you will lose up front, which to me seems like a motivating factor in showing significant progress right away.

I make a turkey meatloaf too... Delicious!

This sounds sooooo good! I will have to try it sometime soon =) Thanks for idea.

I would think melba and crispy toast, when well chewed, would break down much like a cracker or chip. And those are sliders for many people. So it seems like your doctor thinks it'll be easy for you to chew those foods to the point of harmless mush.

Thanks everyone! Love the input!
