Hi Kathy and Michelle, I too had Dr. Ortiz on May 6th..I am going to call them tomorrow. To see if I am ok. I am drinking Protein shakes in the morning, but starting tomorrow I am going to do thick liquids for 2 or 3 days.... I have no problem with Soups and such...I have just been eating what ever I have just been eating what ever I cook for my family. Tonight was Brats with salad.. I ate half of my brat. And pbed it up. This sucks!!! I do get hungry , maybe I am eating to fast or to much in the bites that I am taking. I thought that I was taking tiny bits but maybe not? Can some one give me a list of solid food that I am suppose to be eating.maybe a menu of things that you girls eat PLEASE...I think I am still eating like a fat girl and my body is saying NO WAY!!

I am totally paranoid about it slipping. does everyone worry about that? :cool: tomorrow will be my one month post op... and I am now feeling more back to my old self..yahooooooooooooo
