I apologize for the delayed response - I forget to log on here! Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling? I am 7 weeks post op today; down 41 lbs and feel better every day. I was recently released for solid foods and it has been quite an experience these past few days! I remember the dietician say during my pre-op class, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!"
I am almost 5 weeks post op and eating soft foods - definitely learn how to slow down, chew and enjoy. I struggle with eating too fast still and the pain and uncomfortable feeling is not worth it.
Your eyes are still bigger than your stomach - time to align the mind with the body!!! Good luck to you!!
