Hi,

I'm Holly and I'm pretty new to all of this. I had my surgery 4/8/13... I've been having a good time with liquids and full fluids like yogurt, pudding, and Protein shakes that i don't add enough milk to (so its basically pudding too lol )...

Question is.... I'm able to have about four ounces of yogurt (or whatever else) in about a twenty minute to a half hour time frame before I stop and feel satisfied. I asked my surgeon and he says it's fine but.... Is it, really?? I feel like its too much.

And when did you start eating things other than mush?? I'm tired of this already and its only been eight days!

What are some things to eat that might liven my choices up??

One of my favorite foods right after surgery was puréed chili. I loved it!

OMG That sounds great!!

What was in that chili though? Store bought or homemade?

I'd buy store bought turkey chili and put it in a little chopper I got at wal-mart and add a slice of cheese... I love cheese :-)~

Homemade. I just used the leanest meat I could find ( 90/10), tomato paste, beans, and seasonings.. I like my chili with a little salsa. Once it was cooked I put it in a food processor. A lot of people also get Wendy's chili. My nutritionist actually recommended it as well. I just always made my own

My surgery is tomorrow. My mouth is watering just thinking of this chili!!

Check with your surgeon about what they allow though. For example, I wasn't allowed beans until week 4 and I can't have turkey, not even ground, until week 7. When I was eating mushy foods I was allowed mashed potato, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, cream of wheat, and oatmeal.

That sounds yummy!! I'm not allowed ground up meat until the 22nd, though. Just full liquids now. ... What i really want is sauteed scallops. Mmm, mmm!! Another week and I'm having some or one! Lol

some doctors even allow pizza bread and chicken skin

Wow. That is news to me! I've never seen any research where doctor or nutritionist urge you to eat fried chicken or a unhealthy type of pizza. I should have tried this diet - LOL.

I can't have bread rice or pasta for the first two months. They said bread can expand some and stick to your pouch. ... This kills me - i looove carbs! its been ok adjusting though this passed week. I'm too scared to mess up and get sick or something. Knock on wood, that hasn't happened yet!
