Hey!!
I ate that pretty soon out. I think it was like after a month. YOu are getting close. But do what the surgeon tells you. I couldn't do the shakes so I began things a little early. Glad you are doing well!!

I had 2 weeks of full liquids, then 2 weeks of mushies. I could have tried chicken salad fully mushed but was having some trouble tolerating much other than cottage cheese and yogurt. So I waited until a full 4 or 5 weeks out to try chicken salad. I think I had more swelling than some, since I didn't tolerate food easily for awhile. By 6 weeks out I was eating more normally. It doesn't hurt to take it slow and let your stomach heal. You will know if your stomach can tolerate it.

Mix your cottage cheese up with spices. I liked a little taco seasoning and a little hot sauce. Or marinara sauce, greek seasoning, season salt, curry, cumin, anything....

How about Greek yogurt?

I think I had it at 5 weeks out. Follow your dr's plan. I know the liquids are so boring, but so worth it so your little sleeve heals. You can do it!

boomercd....my doc said that between 15-21 days i can puree my chicken salad. I tried it pureed and yuck. So i waited a bit longer for soft food. Now I'm a month out and i just started chicken salad a couple of days ago. Yummy so good!! Just make sure to chew it really well. Good Luck!
