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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
