I have been on the mushy stage for about 2 weeks so today I tried some regular food. Here's what I had and how it went:

~1-1.5 oz roasted chicken

2 maybe three green beens

a very small portion of green salad

about 4 small slices of roasted potato

A couple hours earlier I had about a cup of guacamole, no chips

It went quite well, but I was not able to eat much all, which is fine. I mean that's the point, right? I had no issues with anything. I didn't eat till I was full, I ate until I was satisfied. I get a very slight pressure sensation in my esophogus when I've had enough. I pay attention to it and stop.

Just wanted to share this with you all, especially those who are new. There is life on the other side of the liquid/mushy stages. Stick with to and you'll get there

Cheers

@@Bruce Peter You are so lucky! I'm still on Clear liquids and dreaming of anything, even blended mushy foods at this point.

Congrats!

Solids at 4 weeks seems pretty early, but I guess every plan is different. I'm pretty impressed you got veggies in there already. I'm over 6 months out and still can't figure out how to get veggies in without sacrificing protein.

I didn't get much veggie matter in. Two Beans and about 2 TBSP of green salad. Avacado is a mushy food.

You give me hope!

I was able to move into soft foods as well in weeks 4 to 6. Although when I have a lean protein like chicken I try to eat 3 to 4 ounces. Depending on what else I'm having with it. I'm not able to eat salads until the next phase only soft veggies

I am seven months post op and at goal. We had baked chicken last night and I can still only eat two ounces. Which I think is a good thing. However..... I was at goal 9 pounds ago. I am trying to figure out how to eat enough to stop losing without over eating or eating the wrong things.
