Early Soft Foods
Lately many posts are becoming personality debates and lose sight of the original posts. There are many different personalities on here, but I personally believe most people truly care and want the best for each other. Sometimes there appears to be too much energy going on. if you post something remember you will get the good, bad and the ugly but do not take it personally since we do not know each other personally Sent from my SPH-D700 using VST

Cravings.
It is head hunger, I had the same cravings I understand you are just asking. It does get better. Once you are able to start mushies you will feel better. Just do not give in try and distract yourself when you start having cravings. Sometimes when we think we are hungry we are thristy. You will know when something does not agree with you you may feel discomfort. I have never thrown up I am 4 months out. Good luck on your journey Sent from my SPH-D700 using VST

Week 5- So Depressing / Disgusting To Eat
Please think of the reason you made the decision to have the surgery. food is a bandaid for other issues. Remember nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Remember how you felt when you ate too much. It does get better I am 4 months out and have no regrets just hang in there. Food had never been the answer to our problems Sent from my SPH-D700 using VST
