My first meal was Wendy's chili. And it was the BEST chili I'd ever eaten. lol It's really trial and error. Just be very careful with the meats. Make sure they are chopped super fine or you will likely end up with the case of the faomies. (Where you gag but nothing really comes up but saliva all foamed up.) It's very unpleasant. Just use common sense and be sure to chew, chew, chew! Consistency is the most important issue here.

Hey there! Congrats on getting to your next stage! I am two months out and am so happy to finally be at this point. Try cottage cheese, low sodium cold cuts like ham and turkey. Grilled & rotissiere (sp?) chicken is good. I made turkey chili which is yummy! Just remember to chew chew chew! Oh, tuna and egg salad with light or low fat mayo is good too! You'll be surprised that things you used to love don't taste as good anymore when you actually have to chew and taste them. It's the weirdest thing. Good luck and have fun experimenting!

Like Paula, I was told to try Wendy's Chili. It's cooked for a long time so the meat is tender. Also like Paula said, it is alot of trial and error. By chance, did your surgeon give you a sample diet? Mine gave me a week by week sample diet. Let me know if you want to see what is on my list.

My best advice is to go very slowly. Introduce only one new food (meats especially) per day. Small bites, chewed till they are liquified in your mouth. Me and chicken are not good friends still at 4 mos. out. Sometimes my pouch argues with pork chops too.
