Started pureed foods today

2 Tbsp scrambled egg for breakfast - that was a treat!! It was so weird swallowing something besides jello and liquid!! 2 Tbsp Cottage Cheese for lunch - Yummy another treat that felt odd going down. No problems with either one. Since I'm only 2 weeks postop, I don't seem to feel hungry and/or full however I did notice when I ate the cottage cheese, that I felt like I "had enough". According to my "plan" I could have had 1/4 c (4 Tbsp). I don't think that would have been a good idea.' Getting ready for dinner - going to try meat (pureed) and mashed potatoes. We'll see what happens!

Keep posting! I am get to start soft foods this Friday...and am interested in how things go!

Oh my gosh, dinner was wonderful! I had 2 Tbsp. pureed beef mixed in broth. I ate that nice and slow and then followed up with 2 Tbsp mashed potatoes. Heaven. I feel satisfied and thrilled to have some different taste or flavors! The hardest part is not drinking anything within 30 minutes of eating a meal. I am so used to drinking with a meal. No problems so far with anything I ate. I probably could have eaten more beef, but didn't want to pu****

Hi Annette... I also had gastric bypass on Sept. 11th... Houston, TX... I do lots of protein drinks.... pureed soups..... I have tried some instant mashed potatoes... had no problem... I'm curious what foods you have tried and how well they are working for you... Thanks!!
