In terms of solid foods, I was able to add well-cooked green Beans, cottage cheese, and string cheese at Week 4. Week 5 I added scrambled eggs; Week 6, I added salmon, and Week 7, I added chicken, ground beef, and ground turkey.

Right now, I eat scrambled eggs once per day, cottage cheese twice per day, string cheese twice per day, and chicken, ground beef, and salmon once per day each. I am getting between 800-900 calories per day, less than 20 carbs per day, and around 90 grams of Protein per day.

How many ounces are you eating at a time?

Are you still drinking Protein drinks, or getting your protein just from your food. Also how much can you eat at a time?

I eat 1 egg twice per day. I eat 2 oz of each meat accompanied by 1 oz of green beans each time (3 "meals" total). I eat 1 string cheese twice per day, and 4 oz of cottage cheese twice per day.

I haven't had to have Protein shakes since Week 6.

I am about to start solid foods and just want to know an idea of what some of you eat daily.

I'm almost 5 months post-op, so this will look like a lot of volume to you:

Breakfast is a cup of coffee with a scoop of Protein powder, for 20g +/-. Sometimes I also have a greek yogurt, but I'm not a breakfast lover and the protein in my coffee keeps me going until later in the day. A single-serve greek yogurt is 15g protein and if I don't have it for breakfast, I'll have it at lunch time.

Mid-morning, I'll have a cheese stick (8g) or a couple of apple wedges with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter (4g).

Mid-afternoon, an ounce of almonds (6g) or 1/2 cup cottage cheese with pureed no sugar added preserves (15g)

dinner is usually two ounces of some kind of protein, like salmon (15g) and a couple of ounces of a vegetable.

Before bed, if I need more protein for the day, I'll eat more almonds, or another cheese stick.

Other things I eat regularly are Beans. 1/2 cup of refried beans with a T of grated cheese (6-7g)

Lentils, 1/2 cup with sauteed onions (8-9g)

When I reached mushy food stage I was able to have deli turkey, ground beef, shredded chicken, fish and scrambled eggs. So when solid food hit the next week, I was able to add grilled and baked chicken, pork and denser beefs. And all vegetables except tomatos.

At 4.5 mths out, I have a Protein shake for breakfast, for lunch and dinner, I alternate between eggs, beef, chicken, tuna salad, chicken salad, turkey, ham. Usually 2-4 ozs.. Add in a couple of bites of veggies and i am full. cheese for a snack if needed. And sugar free popsicles are still a staple in my freezer.

Haven't met a food I can't tolerate. I take small bites and eat slowly (most of the time) I also eat out a lot so leftovers are always in my fridge.
