i think my food sounds tastier!!!

Oh my goodness! I'm almost 9 weeks out and can't eat some of the food people are recommending!   Something that I ate a lot of for awhile was roast beef hash.  That's got to be high in sodium. I also ate pureed Campbell's bean soup a lot.

Thanks, it encouraging to know it may just take me awhile. I just tried to eat a tiny bit of peaches canned unsweetned with some cottage cheese and it seems like I was getting a bad case of indigestion.   I guess I will continue on the soft/puree until I am ready.  You lost 70 lbs that is really great!!!

When I was switching from purees to solids, I threw up at least daily.  And that was at about 5 weeks out.  I've found out that I really cannot eat meat.  It seems to just ball up in my pouch and it won't go down.  So eventually I have to make it come back up.   Some other things you could try that worked for me in that stage were cheddar cheese blocks/sticks, egg salad (but making sure I chewed the whites well), ricotta bake.  Lots and lots of popsicles (Edy's no sugar added fruit bars and no sugar added fudgesicles).  I also made sugar free pudding with skim evaporated milk.  I ate yogurt a lot.  I put tuna in the blender with mayo and a little sweet pickle juice. Actually, things haven't changed much since then for me.  I eat a lot of mozz cheese sticks, but they don't chew up as well as cheddar.  The only meat I've found I could tolerate is Mama Lucia meatballs.  I cook them with a little bit of spaghetti sauce and put parm on them (sometimes shredded mozz).  I tried turkey meatballs, but they were too tough. The Mama Lucia kind are soft enough and don't make me sick. Don't worry about it so much.  I did at first but just gave up because my body is not going to agree with my brain, and unfortunately, I have to go with what my body wants.

Thanks, for the tips.  I am sure I will have problems as I also had a large Hiatel Hernia Repair in addition to the WLS and I use to have problems eating meat and other things.  I am just going to be patient because getting food stuck is awful!!!!
