So the question is........after you finally get to begin eating real foods again, will we be able to eat fresh steamed veggies and fresh fruits or will it always have to be soft canned stuff? What about lettuce salads and things like that?

Yes - I eat veggies (but I like them soft - not hard) I eat fruit had strawberrys today - Salads no problem

I just found out today that I can't eat sushi rice -I eat jasmine rice everynight but tried sushi today - and it just didn't word - it may have been too that I didn't chew well enought either..

You gotta take tiny bites eat slowly and chew chew chew..

You should be able to eat fresh Veggies / Fruits & Salads!!! To be honest, my Surgeon does not recommend soft foods (unless the day after a fill) at all. I enjoy all the above & often!!!

You should be able to eat anything you can chew well but everyone seems to have a couple things they can't eat. Bread and scrambled eggs are common. I have issues with bananas

I may have problems with eating certain types of foods with proper restriction but I don't have much restriction right now. The only foods I have slight issues with is watermelon/cantelope and I think 'cause of the water content?

I have been one of those ppl who could eat everything - until I went for sushi at lunch - I don't think I can eat sticky rice - now mind you I eat jasimine rice every night with dinner - but today - got stuck-! either I ate too fast slight possibility - or didn't chew - again slight possibility but omw I was stuck - so I don't think I will be having sushi anytime soon :tongue:

Well I am only 3.5 weeks out and I can pretty much eat anything. I have been eating salads for almost a week. Lettuce, tomatoes, beats, green onions, croutons, cheese and even a bit of bacon sometimes. I chopped the salad really good and then have at it. Small bites. I would hate not to be able salads.

I have also had asparagus with no problems. I think chewing is the key.

I do get hungry and don't fill up too easy, so Monday I will calling to get a fill. Good news is I have lost 27 pounds since my surgery date of March 10th, but I gained one pound back. I think I am eating too much. Or could it have been that ice cream....hmmmm:redface:
