I’m 2 weeks into the 3 week liquid stage and I’ve never been more excited to chew something! I’m googling food ideas and drooling over the pictures like they’re some kind of illicit porn.

What was your first chewable meal post-surgery? I’m fantasizing about a soft boiled egg and cottage cheese. I’m planning on setting out the good china and making a production of it. I guess that’s all part of the process; not just inhaling food but savoring it. I’m so excited!! ?

Congrats!!! You are gonna SOOOO enjoy that first meal! Take tiny bites and go slowly!

Soft scrambled egg with cottage cheese and cheddar and taco bell mild sauce (should have omitted the cheese until I was regular) cuz it caused all kinds of mischief being backed up. Emphasis on soft scrambled...

But the soft boiled eggs with a tiny bit of butter went down very easily too.

YESSSSSS! AWESOME JOB!

How about going to Amazon ? They have Bariatric cookbooks.

Thanks all! Just bought a cookbook from amazon by Sarah Kent. I prefer the hard copy so I’ll be devouring that once it comes. Prior to this surgery I’d cram any food into my mouth regardless of whether I really liked it. I need to work on switching to high quality, nutritious food; quality over quantity. Very excited!

My typical day is two protein drinks to get my 60 g. of protein and a small single serving of 4oz of cottage cheese. I've done that for about a week. Will try to replace cottage cheese with one scrambled egg. I am very cautious about upsetting my stomach. I'm not in a hurry to eat a lot or often.

I'm totally feeling your post! I'm taking it nice & slow. My surgeon and nutritionist also tell me "Take your time and take advantage of the honey moon first year stage". No rush to dive into eating a variety of food. SO EXCITED!

Jen, keep me up to date with your favorite recipes out of the cookbook. I plan on getting the hard copy, too.
