What was the 1st thing you had?

I am planning on 3ish gulf shrimp, pan seared with lots of garlic.

Or maybe a piece of whitefish, also seared with a dill cream sauce..

We will see how it all goes though, I am on my 1st day of very soft foods. had scrambled eggs this morning and lastnight I cheated a little and had some cottage cheese.. sofar so good.

Mine was steak I believe. It was amazing even if I was only able to eat like 3 bites.

I just had a sleeve gastrectomy on 5/9/19 and will have my first post-op appointment tomorrow (5/15/19). So far I have been on clear liquid diet of beef and chicken broth and sugar-free popsicles and jell-o cups.

I cant even imagine what I will eat first! Tbh, I’m kind of scared. Does one bite really fill you up? I was 6’ 2” 315 pounds at surgery, with a BMI of 39.5, now I am 6’ 2” 290 pounds.

I am more worried of eating something I love and having it not sit right in my stomach?

I am afraid of that too!

Chicken salad

Cottage cheese.

I measured out 1/4 cup (which at the time looked so tiny in the bowl) and was only able to eat about 2/3 of it, which shocked me.

It was the most delicious cottage cheese I’d ever had in my life...

Suggestion regrows Beans with some Cheddar Cheese was a really good soft food .

I can't remember the first thing when I was cleared for any food. When I was cleared for pureed though I dragged my husband to the nearest Indian food restaurant. (My surgeon is very conservative with diet progression and I was on full liquids for 6 weeks) I was ready for something savory and spicy!

Half of a roasted chicken thigh. It was so blissful to chew!

I am dying to chew something right now, one week post op ?

Simple plain food makes sense. Will keep all of your suggestions in mind. I love salmon and tuna.

Scrambled egg maybe?

Fresh salmon sashimi. It’s so soft and buttery and delicious. Perfect!

Those all sounds sooooooooooooooooo good to me, I just had the sleeve on 5/13/2019 and I am on liquids... Follow up appointment on 5/23/2019 so then I hope to have eggs... That's all I'm thinking about right now is eggs... But, hey I'll take it...

My first eggs after my sleeve was glorious. Eggs after bypass made me vomit it was so disgusting. So weird how surgery changes our taste.

I had my first follow-up yesterday (5/15/19) from a sleeve procedure on 5/9/19. I was on clear liquids for the first week, but was cleared to move to regular liquids for a week on Saturday (518/19). Doc won’t authorize eggs until two weeks after surgery at the earliest and then suggested I leave them a bit runny. I’m anxious and nervous to try eggs, and mashed potatoes lol.
