I get to eat solids on Mon. I am soo happy yet a little nervous too. Anybody have suggetions in what to eat?

I was told to start off with soft proteins first, such as scrambled eggs or chicken salad (put chicken in food processor or chopper) made with low fat or fat free mayo.

Flaky fish is a good bet as well.

Start soft and introduce one new food at a time. That way you know what food causes the problem, should you have one! Good luck!

I went directly from Dr. office (my stomach was growling during exam) to Taco Bell for pintos and cheese on my Dr.'s advise. Yummo!! I only was able to eat half, seemed like the best beans ever.

I am with you on this one! I too, consumed the Taco Bell pintos and cheese. They are quite tasty. Now, I keep the cans of Taco Bell refried beans at home and eat it at least twice a week, but only 1/2c at a time!!!!! I also add some ff sour cream to it. Yummy!

I have been on soft/mushies for 2 weeks. It is time for me to start solids. I have done the eggs and beans. What is a good solid food to eat?

I was scared too! I started off with home-made turkey chilli Beans with cheese. I ate slowly and chewed my food like crazy. I watched for any signs of food and band issues and thus far I have had none.

I can eat small quanitities of the food I ate pre-band. Just take it slow and chew your food really well.

Good luck!

Try anything you want that isn't likely to cause problems. I began eating whatever my family ate for dinner, I just ate less and chewed it well. I stayed away from bread and steak, other than that, I tried whatever I wanted. If I chewed well and the first bite felt stuck at all, I stopped and ate something different.

I think I ate spaghetti (1/2 c with whole wheat pasta) and fried fish (1 small fillet) right after starting solids.

Thanks, so much. I am suppose to start solids Monday am, but because of Super Bowl Sunday I was planning on eating Sunday night. I was going to go with Turkey Chili. Do you think raw veggies with lo cal dip would be okay?

Turkey chili should be fine. Be careful about the raw veggies if you have any restriction at all. Quite often they stick, so take it slow and be careful.

I started out with Chicken in a can with light mayo and crackers and chewed so well! After that my confidence in solids went up. My famliy was having spaghetti for dinner that night and I cut the noodles in tiny pieces and chewed that well.

I started with Chicken and Fish. I also had little of Pasta and rice. Just make sure you chew chew chew and chew if you are worried. That is what I am doing. I have not tried Pork Chops or hard Veg's yet. I am still worried on them. Bread and Steak's I think I am going to wait on them for a few more weeks.

chicken n fish where on my soft foods so when i could have a reg. diet i added a carb balance wrap with my usual chicken. n i was full, what a difference a wrap can make!
