I get to start soft foods and I'm craving a scrambled egg with a little salsa sooo bad! What was the first thing you ate when starting soft foods?

A fabulous cheese and mushroom omelette with salsa in a restaurant that was heavenly, now of course what's funny is that I'm still eating the damn thing 2 days later...!! Meals have to be the size of my palm according to my doc

I just ate a scrambled egg with salsa and a little cheese, I think it was the best thing I've eaten ever. I have a new appreciation for food!!

I love it! made me laugh - "the best thing I've ever eaten...!!" ha.. that's great. What a journey we're on.

But I tell you, it's easy to see now how so many people after this surgery gain back every single pound! It's so clearly now just one tool, one excellent behavior modification tool to be added to the changes WE must make in order for this process to work properly. I feel so far that I've met the surgery half way, at least, by having lost some 40 lbs pre-op and by having established a decent cardio, weights, meditation and therapy regimen before surgery that are now being maintained. This is hard, I can easily see why many good folk have failed. It flies in the face of the behaviors I indulged in for decades.

I'm at 60 days post-op, not even TWO months, and I feel like it's been an eternity because everything's just so different; different and exciting as weight is flying off of me. I've been just switched to soft foods, anything I can cut with a fork easily, and so only ONE day I went a little berserk, but the funny thing is that "berserk" for me now was a whopping 1400 calorie day..! Lol, in the old days that could be ONE meal...My guess is that as a 6'2" 205 lbs man that 1400 will be just under maintenance once goal weight of 190 or 195 is reached, it might actually still be considered in the "weight loss" range. Good luck to us all

Grilled salmon was one of the firsts but technically, it was Taco Bell pintos and cheese on the way home from my follow-up post-op appointment.

Mine was chili with 2 fritos mashed up in it! It tasted yummy but, I could only have a few bites!

Mine was Queso fresco, digests well; followed in a day or two with s scrambled egg(not so digestible surprisingly). Salmon also not so. Soups (homemade always) still eat 5-6 times s week
