Cream of wheat, oatmeal, Greek yogurt, mashed potatoes, Soups, chicken w/gravy, sf applesauce, baby food fruits. Some people have avacado, Beans, tuna, etc.

The pain is nothing what I expected. How long till you start to feel back to normal?

In still experiencing pain myself as I'm only 4 days post op. I just make sure I take my meds every 4 hours on the dot. That really helps.

So far so good on the food intake. I just started puréed yesterday so I've only had cream of wheat and Greek yogurt. Going to try mashed potatoes & gravy in a little bit. And I might also try some Soup for dinner. Taking if real slow because I don't want to get sick. Getting my Protein from the unflavored protein that I add to food & some pre made shakes. How's it going for you?

Okay I had acid reflux really bad last night and I was so nervous because I thought something was stuck. I hate to throw up. I seen that people would puree Wendy's chile and I did and it went down good and I didn't get sick. I have not even bought the plain protein to add to the food. Where did you buy it?

My surgeons office has a store where they sell all kinds of protein products & Vitamins. You can purchase it online @ powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com... It's pretty good. I think someone said you can purchase some at GNC. I forgot about the Wendy's chili... I'm gonna have to try that.

I can't taste it as I make sure it if mixed in the food very thoroughly. You hVe to make sure the food isn't too hot when you add it. Should be 140 degrees or cooler.

So I start pureed on Thursday. Well depends on what the doc says. With these foods you mentioned are you puréeing it or making it as mashed as possible?
