6 week post op dr. visit. cleared on all foods
Good for you! After all the liquids and crap, real food will taste great again!
I did well with everything I tried, beef, chicken, pork, fish and other seafood, eggs, beans, lentils, dairy (cottage cheese, yogurt--greek style has the highest protein, cheese--watch the fat), tofu, tempeh and other vegetable proteins like boca burgers etc.
Some people don't like beef or chicken, some says beef, chicken and eggs don't like them. Some people develop intolerance for lactose (milk products).
I still can't eat more than a couple ounces of dense proteins like beef, chicken, turkey, ham, but I ate almost 4 ounces of crab last week in one sitting. True, I should have stopped at 3, but mmm, it was good, and I had nothing other than crab, ignored the salad and the bread.
My WLS crew suggested I try small amounts of new foods, keep them saucy, moist and tender at first. Ground beef and turkey were early favorites as well as refried beans with salsa and cheese, and if something doesn't work well, set it aside to try again in a few weeks.
Hope some of this helps.

I went for my 6 week follow up also, sugery date was 9/19 . I was also cleared for soft foods. which made me very happy. Was missing veg mostly.
So far I have had turkey chicken fish shrimp tuna on the pureed phase.. and have done well. Peanut butter was the only thing so far I have had an issue with. i was told to try adding one thing at a time so you can see how it works for you .

The first thing i tried was steak because i had loved it before surgery and being able to eat it made me feel satisfied and not on a diet. I started off with that and would have some lettuce with it. It also became a staple because one 12oz steak would be 5-6 meals and i got a kick out of this. Chicken breast was the only thing that gave me pause. chicken thighs fine, port, fine. Fish fine. Jumbo shrimp was also great for me. I'd buy them frozen boil them and have 2-3 with some ****tail sauce for a meal. Easy and delish and really low calorically. I never had a problem with anything really.
