I ate so slow I felt like I was going in slow motion!! LOL, I was so happy and did not want it to end. Eventhough it was a small basic meal, it was soooo good just to chew and taste cooked food other than soup again.

I think its cute!

YAY!!! Congrats!!!

Im doing alright otherwise! Im in the Mushy stage now and I am enjoying it! I was so excited to have eggs, I thought I won the lottery!! LOL Thank you for asking!!!!! How are you doing? Which stage are you in?

Are they better than the strips?

LOL, The Gas X strips I have is for keeping my breath fresh! I have not had too much luck recently with that. I need to try whatever I can! LOL

I have a generic brand and it is too gritty and thick! It bothered my stomach so I will look into the Miralax.

It was hard in the beginning, but I knew I could not eat that food. I think fear played a factor too! My husband took off this week and I joke with him saying he purposely is eating like a king this week because he know I can't eat with them! LOL, I really just tried not to think about the food too much and the smell did affect me, but then I was thinking I am only thinking about that food because I know I can't have it.

Honestly, it was not that bad for me until I knew it was time for my mushy stage. Best thing, is to try NOT to think about not eating regular food. I think it makes it worse.

Congratulations!! I am a week as of today Post op. Everyone is different with their recovery and i hope you have a speedy recover and take care while recovering.

I cant eat more than 1/2 cup of food. I eat my meal out of a 1/2 cup container. I have learned how to master what I put in those containers. I have layered and "casseroled" my meal in those containers to get my meat and veggies. For instance, tomorrow I am going to have sweet potatoes and chicken

you will wake up with excitement!!!

Let us know how it goes!!

My nutrionist told me to start early chewing slow. i set the timer on my phone for 23 mins. and at first it seemed unreasonable to do, but now it is realistic.

I woke up excited because I knew I could have eggs for breakfast!

Thank you CHEZNOEL! I have been working on that! So far so good, but thank you for reminding me because it is hard to forget when you feel like your in heaven!!

I know!! As they say you don't know a good thing until its gone!! Current pre-op wt 344 down 331.6
