I just had my surgery on the 23rd of June. I'm starting soft solids this next week. Does anyone have any menu suggestions, examples of what was best for them during the transition? I'm also interested in the menus of people that successfully lost weight in the first few months after their vertical sleeve. Any suggestions and/or links to resources will be greatly appreciated!

My plan at the moment is to drink a protein shake in the morning that I blend with spinach and/or a fruit like strawberries. Lunch will be protein and a veggie and/or bean. Dinner will be another protein shake with kale and/or fruit. I just want to take advantage of the first 6 months of weight loss. Any comments/advice/suggestions.

"meals" scrambled egg egg salad cottage cheese chicken thigh slow cooked tilapia mashed Beans ricotta cheese string cheese snacks: sweet potato greek yogurt oatmeal cooked with milk and coconut oil

(one thing i actually cooked from a recipe: blend in a blender, 2 eggs, cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, vanilla extract. if too thick to pour, add a little milk or Water. cook like regular pancakes. i eat plain, because i cook in coconut oil, but good with apple sauce, greek yogurt, a little cinnamon butter, etc)
