What's the best thing to try on my first day? I don't want something too harsh but also tasty! ( I don't eat oatmeal, grits or the such) thanks!

Yay! What a glorious day as I recall, lol. Obviously there's baby food (some better than others), but also pureed chili or the ricotta bake.

I ate refried beans with a little sour cream. It was delicious!

lol I can't see myself going for the baby food! [emoji23] I want to make ricotta bake but I'm missing ricotta cheese I have to get that. I have cottage cheese though... idk if that's a substitute as I've never used it.

The only way you'll know is to try it. If you heat it in a bowl in the microwave be sure to loosely cover it as it explodes and makes a mess. Let me know how you tolerated it. Fingers crossed for you!

Yes. Scrambled.

So I ended up trying puréed chili. I tolerated it fine, a few grumbles but nothing crazy. The look kind of killed the enjoyment for me, and so did the texture lol it still beats liquids. I couldn't finish much- I'm not sure if that's out of fear or that I'm full (I can't really tell when I'm full) it was canned chili so the taste was okay, but I'll be making some homemade chili now that I know it goes down okay.

It's better to try tiny amounts. You did the right thing. I still haven't had chili but I'm craving it now. Glad it went well!

How far post op are you? Mhmmm from other post I've seen it's a popular thing during puréed along with the suggestions you ladies gave.

My faves: mashed cauliflower with a little Parmesan, with added protein powder. Same with zucchini. Also cottage cheese with sugar-free jam. I also get shredded chicken, put it in the mini food processor with 2TB plain Greek yogurt, a tiny bit of avocado mayo, and lemon pepper...a pretty tasty chicken salad. Re fried beans hurt my stomach which was disappointing! For a treat I will have a teaspoon of peanut butter. I'll add unflavored protein powder to sugar-free pudding.

I lived off scrambled eggs with cottage cheese, refried beans with sour cream and cheese, and greek yogurt.
