Good afternoon, I'm 3wks post opt and I scared to eat bc I'm afraid of throwing up. I don't know what to eat. I should be on soft foods but I'm not having any luck. I'm sticking to Soups and my Protein Shakes for now but I'm suppose to be eating soft foods. Any suggestion on where I should start on soft foods.

If you're cleared for soft foods, take a leap of faith and start. Yogurt, eggs, mashed black Beans, etc. I'm sure you'll be fine. Seems like you'll need to get over psyche-ing yourself out first. You can do it!

I'm on soft foods too and was nervous and have had no problems at all. I've had scrambled eggs, chicken, lean ground beef, cheese, deli meat, etc.

Try fat free refried Beans, add some cheese if you like.

That'll probably be one of my first soft foods. I love it.

Me too. Will probably have them without the cheese. Already bought 3 cans of the Old el Paso fat free ones. They get good reviews online.

cdkidci there's Peanut Butter powder and chocolate peanut butter powder. Some one in my old Weight Watcher's class told me about it. It's fat free and has lots of Protein. I like the PB2 brand which can be found in most grocery stores. You mix the powder with Water so you can make it as thick or thin as you like.

I started with a scrambled egg and cheese during the pureed stage. I start soft foods for four weeks tomorrow. Can't wait to not have to blend everything!

I'm in soft solids stage , are we allowed deli meat rolled with Swiss cheese or American cheese n light mayo? Are we allowed pickles yet?

easy one - potato, baked or sweet, just the meat of the spud, mash it, a very little butter, S&P to taste - make you full very quick and very easy to eat. I am in the 3rd week and on mush also. Scrambled eggs work for me. I have also nibbled on some solid foods, but chew, chew and then chew some more until its a fine mash - then chew one more time.... small amounts.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
