Hello everyone. I am new here- I had my surgery on March 17, 2014. Today is day 14 and I was so excited to switch to soft textured foods. I think I was over zealous, as now I have been feeling full for the past 4 hours!!!! How is this even possible??? I plan to go back to liquid tomorrow as I think tilapia was too much for my new stomach. I feel very uncomfortable- like the food hasn't moved. Anyway, I am happy to be amongst you all and look forward to sharing my experiences any learning from yours. Congratulations on taking this step...now let's get healthy!!

Re: Hello There!
I had talapia yesterday but I used a fork to scrape the meat from the skin and then I smashed the meat up with my fork. I was only able to eat one half of the fish but it was excellent.
Usually, talapia is on the dry side so you may try a dash of fish sauce next time.....or even tartar sauce.

Re: Hello There!
Hi there! Yes I was so excited to switch too. I am 4 weeks out & I still have trouble with meats. I do better with soft cheese, yogurt, & cottage cheese. Some baby foods are good too. Be careful with the meat...it does sit very heavy. This is a great forum. Hang in there! Hope your recovery goes well & easy!

Re: Hello There!
My favorite now is chicken salad and cottage cheese. 1/2 cup. (together). My dr. said to stay away from baby food because of sugar. Diva, Does it all have sugar?

Re: Hello There!
I love cottage cheese and tuna... Easy to eat and great way to get the protein in
Rolling up thin turkey or ham in low fat cheddar is great too!!

Re: Hello There!
Whoa, you all are doing a lot by eating fish this early in the game. Even though I long to chew on something, I want to ensure that my stomach will heal appropriately before I indulge in solids. I have two more days on the dreadful full-liquid diet and will be free to do the pureed stage - Thank God!!! If I were you, I would go back to at least pureed for another solid week before eating the solid foods.
Good Luck!
