My first post-op meal!

I'm 8 days out and went for my post op appointment. I was cleared for "fork mashable" food. I came home and made 1/4 cup of fat free refried beans with shredded cheese. First of all...Hilarious that I actually thought I could eat that much! However I have to say that it was the best tasting 3 bites of food I can remember EVER having lol. My mom was with me and laughed saying," You could eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I still don't think you'd finish that." 

Five weeks out I still make a plate of food and think it won't be enough and can't finish.... 

It will definitely take some getting used to! I've got to say I'm loving my sleeve today 

How much yogurt could you eat? It seems that I can eat more than 1/2 cup..

thats the thickest I'm allowed for another week..

I'm 9 days out

thank you and good luck!!

I eat the Kroger carbmaster yogurt and it comes in a 6oz container. I'm able to eat the whole 6oz over about a 20-30 minute sitting. I love the Black Forest cake!

It's funny... I'm 2 months out... same thing here.. I guess we are still eating with our eyes not our tummy lol. ...:-)

Even all the research I did pre-op and all the reading I've done on here, I still wasn't prepared for how good it feels to feel more than satisfied on such a small amount of food.

I am eagerly awaiting the day I can eat real food, but in mush/puree form. My doc's plan is 3 weeks full liquids plus protein shakes...I am on day 8 post op as well..only 13 more days! Then its 2 weeks of mushy and then soft solids for 3 weeks followed by my new normal food.

I have no clue what my first mushy food will be yet...might be pureed lentil soup!

I thought it seemed really soon to switch to mushies, I'm still going to stick to my premier protein shakes for the bulk of my meals. I feel safer with those. You'll have to keep me posted when you decide your first mushie meal :)
