I'm 21 days post op and my plan says I can have soft foods (fish, chicken,tuna, some soft veggies) etc.

My question is what are some things you may have tried at this point? How did u cook it? How did ur stomach handle it?

Hiya, @@sleeved.tekee! I was sleeved on 12/21/16.

My question is what are some things you may have tried at this point?

I am also on the pureed/soft foods part of healing. I've had skim ricotta (my favorite), Greek yogurt, strained Soups from Panera, hummus, pudding, popsicles, tuna with mayo.

How did u cook it?

The only thing I've really cooked was Eggface's Ricotta Bake - I wasn't a fan, personally. However, I add unflavored Protein powder to everything to ensure that I am meeting my protein goals.

How did ur stomach handle it?

I've not yet been nauseous, vomited, or overeaten. I measure everything and run my phone's stopwatch during meals. One minute between bites, I chew as much as I can stand to, for a max of 15-20 minutes of mealtime.

This way I know my caloric intake and macros for the day. No guesswork.

At soft foods I ate chicken salad, tuna salad, scrambled egg with cheese, ground beef (use different seasonings to change it up), soft shredded chicken ( inside of a chicken enchilada), toppings off nachos with refried beans, ground beef and cheese. There is a lot of variety and you are at the gateway to solid foods. At 6.5 mths out, I have not had any food that hasn't agreed with me. Go slow with tiny bites.

I ate a lot of fish during the soft phase, especially Swai and Cod. Baked them with a little lemon juice and olive oil. Easy to swallow and a lot of Protein. I also stuck pretty much with greek yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs w/cheese.

sugar free Jello, mozza cheese stick (9g protein), tuna salad, egg white salad, boiled eggs. I'm 1 month post op.

When does your plan say you can have raw veggies? It takes a lot more work for the stomach to digest salad, therefore the delay. Once you do get to have it, there much room if any, after you eat your protein . I only have salad now if it is a meal like taco salad or chef salad, but dont actually eat much of the salad.

TACO MEAT. Flavorful & soft
