Hey!

Anyone else just starting this stage?? I'm a bit nervous and anxious--not about the eating and tolerating, but about it slowing down my weight loss... Any advice?

I can start eating mild/light cheeses, light mayo, tuna, scrambled eggs, moist chicken....

My weight loss progress is already slow (imo)... Lost 24 lbs first month :-/....

24 lbs is good for first month. When I moved to regular food I introduced 1 new food per meal to see how it went. I can eat just about anything I want that is low sugar, low fat. I stick to Protein, an occasionally have carbs in small amounts .

Just as an FYI I am 7 weeks post op. I recently hit a stall in weight loss, just had my monthly so that may have added to it, expected it to happen, heard it does for everyone. I find I struggle with Water intake more now too

I am 13 wks post op... I was scared when my dr. said I could start on soft/wet regular food so don't feel bad, I think a lot of us go thru this. My only advise is chew, chew, chew, take your time eating, and introduce new foods slowly. My dr. said add one new food per day. I still eat lots of yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, soup etc. just because i like all that stuff. Good luck.

I was allowed to start soft foods after 2 weeks of liquids. 1 of my favorite things is scrambled eggs with salsa and cheese. So yummy! I also like the refried beans with cheese salsa and fat free sour cream. Clearly I really like salsa lol. Good luck and get creative with it. You don't want to bore yourself with the same old thing everyday. My doctor told me to spice things up.
