4th Week - Just finished Soft Foods

Well, everything is going as it should. I am following all the rules and my Doctor said I am healing great! I have my first fill appointment on December 1st. I am looking forward to that! I have no restriction and could eat more than the 1 cup allowed (but I don't). I just eat more snacks, so still about 5 times day eating something because I get hungry. I can't wait till it is 3 times a day and I feel restriction. I realize it may take a few fills maybe to get me where I need to.

I attended a Kane Center support group last week and it really helped to hear what others are going through since many were farther along on their journey. The Doctor that leads it was very good. It really proved that you do need to eat slowly and chew your food. Many complained about PB and getting nauseated after 2 bites of food. I have not experienced that yet. I can eat fast if I want. But I really try and take it slow to get in habit once I feel restriction.

My energy levels are great - man - I have noticed my sense of smell is very sensitive, do you think it is because I have not eaten crap food in 4 weeks? Geez, what a concept. I am never up this early on a Saturday, heck, during the week I get up at last minute to rush to get ready for work. So healthy eating must be helping that too.

We have been eating lots of fish and veggies and homemade soups. I am very lucky because my husband cooks for me :thumbup:

My weight progress has been good - I am down 12 pounds since the surgery. Although I am anxious about losing too much weight because I do not want any reason to get in the way of the fill - I know -weight loss should be number one. But I want to leverage the tool to help me stay on task. I am not doing anything to sabotage the weight loss, but I really want to start feeling restriciton.

Okay, I think that covers it for now. Good luck to all in week 4! I start solid foods today
