What did you guys eat for your first “regular” good meal? I’m so excited but scared! Would low carb tortillas be okay?

I never had a "regular" good meal when I started back onto "real" foods. It was one food at a time. Trying a little of this and a little of that. I struggled with the course texture of veggies for a long time. Liver was the best meat and eggs never have settled well since surgery. I found that I could initially eat some things just fine (like cod) but if I did get sick on something just once, I could never go back to it. That happened with the cod and I still have lots of frozen portions in my freezer. :( So, no, it took months before I can say I had a regular meal.

Beans (especially refried, and thinned with bone broth) were a favorite - very easy to tolerate and tasted good. Cottage cheese was another one that worked well, as well as yogurt. Starchy foods like the tortilla might tend to get "stuck", but if you can eat a little with some beans, that sounds pretty yummy. I did not introduce starches until much later, however - not until I got within 10 pounds of goal weight.

grilled salmon and green beans

I wouldn't bother with tortilla aren't they thick and flour texture? Might get stuck in your new stomach?
