First Post-Op Non Liquid Meal

I am so happy that I can finally EAT something!  I'm 2 weeks and 2 days out and finally moved to the next diet stage.  I was so sick of protein shakes!!

I had 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters with a little bit of 50% reduced fat cheese, and it all went down well. I'm down about 14 pounds since surgery, 36 from my highest.

Just wanted to share my progress.

Best,
Lara

Sounds like you are doing well.  I am down 14 pounds too.  It sounds like we are just about on the same track.   I had some re-fried beans and ff cheese yesterday.  I thought i would blow up like a balloon, but it was so good and it went down well.  It was really good and didn't bother me at all.  

It is so go0d to hear that you are doing so good.   I am really happy with the way things are going and wish that I had done this 30 years ago! 

Good to hear from you, Cathy!  Knock on wood that things seem to be going so well for us!

I bought some ff refried beans yesterday. Can't wait to try them too.  I actually spent WAY too much money at the store because I was so excited to finally eat something.    What I got will probably last for MONTHS!

Stay in touch, Surgery Sister!

Congratulations! Way to go!

Who knew egg beaters could taste so good, lol. I moved on to the puree/mushy food stage too. It tastes so good to eat something savory after all the sweet shakes and puddings. I'm so glad to hear you are doing so well. 14 pounds lost is awesome!

Congrats on the 14 lbs.
