new types of foods

I was just wondering what types of foods everyone is eating so far. Maybe you can give me some ideas of new things to try.

Things i've tried but can't tolerate. Chili from Wendy's but I only ate the beans. Ham, turkey wizzed in the blender. Thinly sliced turkey that I actually was able to eat at the time but haven't tried since. Hard boiled eggs, cream of wheat. I like my ice pops sugar free and Fruit 2 o frozen. If you've tried anything else that you like and can tolerate pass it on, please. Shannon

I've been eating a lot of sour cream with either bananas cut very small or strawberries also cut small. I also put some sour cream in my mashed potatoes. I am getting a little tired of sour cream lol.

I'm on pureed foods and experimenting with whole foods. Rotisserie chicken, I ma**** in my fingers as it is really moist, mashed potatoes. VERY steamed veggies, chicken salad, soft scrambled eggs with a little bit of salsa, fish (small bits of flakes chewed well or chopped up). Little pieces of lowfat cheese cut into really small pieces and I chew the heck out of it. French onion soup agrees with me too, as the onions are so soft and the broth has a ton of protein. I love baby utensils, as I have to take small bites and I chew everything really well. That is where I am at! Kell

One thing i tried as i am so ready to chew and crunch and something new...I had cottage cheese 1 1/2 ounces and then 1/2 ounce of tuna..and then i put some dots of thousand island dresssing...LOL...I want some new flavors...I have heard but not tried yet using ricotta cheese and say cherry flavoring and some splenda as a treat..anyone else tried this yet?

My sister has a recipe for ricotta cheese with splenda and cocoa powder mixed together. You can add small carob chips if you like as well. As far as what we are eating--I eat cheese (string, cream & cheddar), scrambled eggs, beans, soft chicken, well cooked carrots/brocoli, rice, and saltine crackers. I am a little scared to try bread or pasta! I hear they stick easily... Good Luck Everyone!

Anything that I could smash/smush into the consistency that a baby could eat it. I am a little over two weeks postop and I can honestly say that I am not having any issues with foods at this time...(thank goodness)... I eat very slowly and chew chew chew .... I just added in chicken and eggs this past week and ate a teensy bit of beef/bean mixture that was in my husbands enchilada while we were out at the lake. It was maybe two spoonfulls. I didn't have a problem with it at all. When I started on foods I started out with cottage cheese, yogurts (watch the sugar content) and soft soft veggies... also a bit of instant mashed potatoe with a sliver of pepper jack cheese melted into it. It was heavenly!..... Best wishes... Elizabeth~

my new discovery ............ I put my cottage cheese in my tomato soup. It went down. I cringe at the ttaste of cottage cheese....SF jam didn't help. Cheryl B RNY 9/28/04
