what foods go down the best with the least side effects??

[SECRETSLEEVE]

I'm wondering what is everyones "safe" foods are? The foods that go down the best without any gas, bloating, running to the toilet ect. For me I find cottage cheese goes down smooth with no bad effects.

I love cottage cheese and greek yogurt. I pureed some lentil soup, and it went down fine, but it filled me up fast.

Towards the beginning mine were greek yogurt, apple sauce, and soups. Now at week 6 it's all up in the air. Some days i can eat chicken, some days it just doesn't sit well. That's been happening with all foods i'm starting to eat. It really stinks but I signed up for this and i have no regrets.

i also find sugar free jello goes down with no side effects

I can tell you it is different for everyone. Foods that did not sit well with me was beans, eggs, lentil soup accelerated my heart. I did really bad with chicken specially all white meat. black beans bloated me. try eating watermelon and cantelope fruits sat well with me.

Egg drop soup!

yum love egg drop soup, but i had a major chineese food addiction, I have learned that I tend to push the limits or go over one to many bites on food I enjoyed just a little to much prior to surgery. But I imagine that would go down really well.

At 4 weeks out as far as solid food goes, meatloaf went down wonderfully with no side effects. And fruit with skins (at least cherries anyway) have been so good.....even though I can only eat like 3! LOL! And soft cooked scrambled eggs made with cottage cheese have been my go-to foods they last few days.

I scramble an egg with one of those light babybel cheeses, thyme, salt & pepper. This seems to go down the easiest. My pouch does NOT like cottage cheese, though! Also, I made a ricotta bake the other day and that went down really well.

I assume you are only able to eat 1 scrambled egg. I'm hoping on tuesday after my next appointment I get to go to soft mushy foods. I'm so over this liquid only diet.......

why do they have you on a liquid diet so long?

[BCmomabear]

I hear you!! Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are still the winners. Polenta was good the other day, but not so good others. I am finding many foods too sweet!! I think I need to make meat loaf!!

LOL! I can't even eat the whole egg......I should have said scrambled egg. The kids and I went out for breakfast Thursday (hotel stay and I didn't plan very well) and I had maybe a 1/3 of two scrambled eggs, 1/3 piece of bacon, nibble of toast and 3 small bites of fruit and it was just right and it all went down easy, although I found that eating bacon sucks when you have to chew chew chew!

Last night I was really craving a meatloaf sandwich so I thinly sliced some and put it on a tortilla with some ketchup and mayo and now before anyone is all up in arms about the condiments, the whole things was slightly smaller than of a deck of cards, but half as thin. It was so good and satisfying and I was happy to know I could find a smaller, healthier way to eat my favorites. The meatloaf was made w/half ground beef and 1/2 ground turkey and I use oats instead of bread or crackers.

It's crazy how I'm not hungry ,but seeing you all post this food makes me want an egg with cheese. I love my sleeve ,but right now I'm on liquid until the first of Aug. they are letting me take a little thicker soups and blend ,but I can't have much so I have a fridge full of it lol

I have also found vienna sausage in a can goes down really well, it is so soft it just turns to mush in your mouth and tastes good.
