I was so excited to be moved to soft foods last week. Unfortunately it's not as satisfying as I thought it would be. I'm able to tolerate egg beaters, cottage cheese, my surgeon's bariatric chili, and believe it or not, meatballs. I've had cod & halibut 4 times (1 oz. each time) and three of those times I "slimed" and was miserable. Today I tried an ounce of grilled chicken for lunch and spent the next hour or so spitting up slime. It was awful. I'm wondering when I'll be able to eat normal food without pain...even if it's just a tiny bit. It's really discouraging.

I wasn't able to eat soft foods until around 6 weeks out. I was eating pureed foods at this time an it was really helpful. I did eat a lot of yogurt and sf pudding and jello. My stomach really liked those. Hope you get better but becareful with what you eat. You don't want to get a leak.
