I'm four weeks post-op and per my NUT's instructions I can start solid food! I'm starting with dinner tonight.

My surgeon suggested sashimi, which I love, but I won't have access to it tonight.

I'll be near a Safeway and a Walgreens, any suggestions for my first solid food meal?? And in the next couple of days, what are some favorite things you've had success adding in?

Thanks,

Nina

I was able to eat everything and anything....just in much much smaller portions. I remember having chili, lentil soup, cheese, and sliced ham in the beginning.

Today was my forst day as well. I had Greek yogurt for breakfast, no sugar added applesauce for mid morning snack, cheese and thin lunch meat for lunch and beans with cheese with a small amount of avocado for dinner. All measured of course to not go over my surgeon's limit for oz. I had to supplement with a 30g protein shake to hit my protein. Tomorrow I will try a scrambled egg just go with things you like. I spent an hour in the grocery store deciding what to get based on how soft, protein and other nutrition content. I got enough for three weeks I think lol

Tuna steak was my first solid. Yum!
