Congrats Bill!!! I'm not sure what stage 5 is either. Crazy how everyone's program differs so much. My nutritionist only had 3 early stages: clear liquids, full liquids & pureed foods. After that, I was allowed almost anything with the exception of bread, pasta, rice & raw veggies. Those could be introduced at 3 months post-op. Oh & steak was off limits until 6 months post-op.

That's awesome Bill, it will be nice ordering off any menu again, even if you do have some substitutions.

Yeah I’ve already gone out to eat quite a few times and got whatever I thought I could have like hamburger wrapped in lettuce which I hardly ever finish , one Taco is enough for me or chilli also eggs which I stopped liking a while ago and I don’t know why . Don’t care for cottage cheese and yogurt that much anymore too. My taste keeps changing maybe because eating the same things all the time with a limited choice of food to have

I'm really glad that you'll have more variety now. My tastes changed so much this past year. I'll love something for a month and next thing I know, I can't stand it. One thing I've noticed is that the last couple months, I've craved Italian every day but then when I occasionally get it, I just pick at it. There must be something in tomato sauce that my body is craving. Who knows, this is a wild ride for sure.

I agree, and it gets expensive too when you stock up on something you like and then won't eat it. I'm sure it gets easier as time goes on (Diane?) but certainly not in this first year when tastes are still changing so often.
