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!!!!!:rolleyes: I also add some ff sour cream to it. Yummy!

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!

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?

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
