I had my appointment with my dietician today, and I've been OK'd to go back to a regular diet. Woo hoo! Of course, it's within reason, be sure I take it slow and take note of things that don't agree, and try in a few weeks. I'm just so glad to be heading back to regular foods. I miss the different textures food has, you know?

I can't wait to get there! Still on Opti, so my journey is still at the beginning. Congrats!

It's a great feeling that is for sure. You may or may not know but they say try one new food at a time, because if you try two and it doesn't go down well you won't know which one is effecting your pouch.
Enjoy!

No, it just needs to be soft, i.e. slightly overcooked veggies and pasta. I was kind of surprised, too, but I guess they want you back on regular food as soon as you can tolerate it. For dinner tonight, I had 3oz. of grilled chicken breast and a few slices of avocado. It. Was. Awesome. LOL
