Eggs, ricotta or cottage cheese, tuna. I started solid foods very slowly. I think I was just too lazy to eat or just couldn't be bothered. I still do a lot of shakes, as much as I'm sick to death of them!

I ate eggs, oatmeal and I am so tired of soup. I eat mashed potatoes and drink my shakes. One day I smashed some potted meat and ate it slowly. I did not get sick but I would not incurage others to try because I had a modified sleeve and my situation is a little different. Good luck

My favorite at that stage was ricotta cheese, marinara sauce and parmesean. Like eating the inside out of a manicotti. Greek yogurt is a good protein source. I didn't do anything that wasn't protein. For me it was too difficult to get in all my protein to waste sleeve space on anything but protein.
