First taste of "real" food!



Recommended Posts

OMG, I never thought cottage cheese would taste like heaven! LOL Today is my first day off of liquids and I'm eating cottage cheese! Funny thing is, despite how many times I chew it, it feels like it's getting stuck in my throat -- not my band. I'm dying to take a sip of water!!!!:smile:

I hear you!!!

I went in for my post-op this morning and he asked if I had tried mushy stuff yet. I said yes, I did last night! (It was AWESOME! I made the squash casserole that's in the mushy food recipe thread in the food area, and it was okay - I'd probably make a couple of changes the next time I make it, and I also made mashed potatoes! AHH!)

He wants to see me back in 3 more weeks, which will be 1 week after I have started back on normal foods and then the week after that I get my first fill! I scheduled both of those appointments this morning. Yay!

Oh, that reminds me! On my last two days of creamy Soups, I found a way to make some Soups really delicious -- add a couple T. of FF sour cream!! I had it with potato Soup (tasted like a baked potato!!!) and with southwestern corn soup (blended in the blender of course). YUMMMMMMMY!

2 T. of FF sour cream adds only 30 cals., 0 fat, and 1 g. Protein, but tons of flavor! :thumbup:

I will have to get some, Ann. I am thinking about food ALL THE TIME. Maybe if I make what I can eat taste better it will be easier.

I am now 2 weeks out and have enjoyed 2oz of turkey meat loaf and 2 tab. potatoes, your right it is great I was so sick of chobani yogurt (16 gms protein) but does have some sugars...I only had to do liqs the day before and then for 12 days afterwards...Have not had a fill yet. Glad to join the May bandsters....I only had pain med in the recovery room and then used childrens tylenol, but everyone's pain level is very different. Take care all.

Chili sounds SO yummy! Does that count as pureed, or soft food? I am ready to start grabbing food off of people's plates. I am going to have to start eating more... I feel social unacceptability coming on...:thumbup:

Thanks, I will have to try it this weekend. I was just looking at your numbers and we are almost twins. I will be 38 in August, I started at 287 lbs, am now probably 268 and am hoping for 150. How cool is that?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
