Soooo excited May 9th i resume a NORMAL DIET! What do you eat?

May 9th i see my dietician for my next phase which i believe is back to normal foods. Right now i am still soft foods. I cannot wait to have ground turkey, veggies, protein bars, etc again... i haven't eaten any of that in over 2 months! I want a salad or turkey meatballs or something homemade the possibilities are endless as long as i prepare it at home so i KNOW what's in it! When you all went back to a normal diet what did you start eating immediately? It's going to be so great to grab a protein bar or something on the run. I need to start looking at bariatric recipes! I want healthy of course =)

I'm pre op but am curious as to your diet progression. What are you eating on the soft foods diet?

I just found out at four weeks I can start adding real food to my diet. I am excited to trade a protein shake for a protein bar! Things like tuna, tiny pieces of chicken, etc. were suggested. Lots of people here eat Wendy's chili. Ha, I never thought I could be so excited over a piece of turkey! I travel a lot for work and this will be so much easier.

Why can't you have ground turkey now?  It's soft.

Anyway, I eat all kinds of things.  Yesterday I ate a protein bar, some cheese, a root beer float protein shake, and a veggie cantina bowl from Taco Bell.  Oh, and some Greek yogurt.  I also eat pizza once in a while, sandwiches once in a while, lots of salad, fresh fruit, veggies, beans, chili, veggie burgers, an occasional egg, Chipotle burrito bowls, toast once in a while, all sorts of things.  The only things I don't eat at all are meat and stuff high in sugar.

Ground turkey and turkey meatballs are soft and on my soft foods diet plan. so is chicken, soft fish. Anything I can cut easily with a fork!

I was eating meat from pureed stage on the only change for me was not putting it in the ninja anymore. My plan didn't allow veggies back in til 3 mo so meat cheese and eggs were my diet. What does your hand outs say is in your next step?
