First soft food

[psyance 32]

For those of you that have made it to this point. What was your first soft food? Was it uncomfortable to eat soft foods for the first time?

Take it slow, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, hard boiled eggs, string cheese. I’m a vegan so I had refried beans, mashed potatoes, vegan cheese, yogurt, etc.

I’ve been eating yogurt during the whole purée phase. Cream of wheat and mashed potatoes were also on my list of items that were ok during this time (though, I haven’t eaten either). I ate a piece of a hard boiled egg tonight. The feeling was strange, but not uncomfortable.

On a side note, I used to be vegan, years ago, and would like to go back. Apparently it’s possible after this surgery?

I understood that potatoes and cream of wheat have large amounts of carbs. Am I wrong?

They are all carbs and have little to no Protein so you wouldn't want to eat this several meals a day but in the beginning sometimes just getting something in is better than nothing. However, I would definitely prioritize protein dense foods at each meal, many times you don't have room for much else.
