I miss guzzling water sooooooo bad! I have a 100 oz mug used purely for water and I could go through 2 of those in a day! Now I can barely get 32 oz down. It's not as satisfying when you have to sip it :/
I miss hamburgers the most. I could eat them everyday for every meal. I'm 7 weeks post op and I generally just miss real food. Still working on adding solids in to my soft food diet and it's hard. I'm not very good at gauging what I can handle. I've lost 35 lbs though and that is worth missing out a few burgers!
My doctor gave me specific diet rules to follow. Full liquids for 2 weeks, soft foods for 2 weeks, then solids. Small bites and chew to a paste consistency. Don't drink with meals and go very slow. Start with foods you know you can handle then add a new food. It's been a struggle for me too. Still resort to a lot of soft foods and I'm 7 weeks post op. Good luck!
