What was/will be your first "real" food post op?

Okay, Dr. has cleared me to stage four. That means I am moving from clear liquid to soft proteins. What did you have as your first soft protein or real food? I'm planning on cottage cheese but a little nervous. Some input would be great!

I am 10 days post op and in 11 days I will be where you are. I can't wait until I can eat cottage cheese. That will be my first. Then some ymmy tuna fish. I envy you today. Good luck Kristy

Hi Amy, Cottage cheese is on my full liquids list, I have to puree it and add a little milk but I haven't had any problem with it. You should do fine on it. Good luck. Annie

A chicken supreme burrito from Taco Bell. Mmmmm. I ate only a quarter and chewed it until it was nothing but mmmmm sooo good.

South Beach Cashew Chicken Entree. I ate the chicken first, and nibbled on the pasta and cashews. 30 gm protein, and the chicken was very soft and tender, went down easy with no problems afterwards. It was great to finally feel like I was eating a real meal again. Sandy 302/277/??? -25#

My full liquids also includes cottage cheese, but I don't like it. I may pick up a small tub and test it out though. I am getting mighty sick of CIB, yogurt and cream soup. I am dreaming of tuna - how sick is that??!!
