Hi Tuttle,
I have lost 16 pounds so far. Not as much as i would like but I'm kinda glad it's going about a pound or half a pound a day. Please don't get discouraged.
I haven't been able to puree anything and eat it, it is just not tasting good. I have been eating lots of cottage cheese with salt and pepper, or sometimes salsa. I have been having meat and I chew it about 30 times. That seems to be okay. Today I actually had a Protein shake, I like the Pure Protein chocolate so far. Keep in touch since we had our surgeries on the same day.
