@@Rev Del, When I was at the soft foods stage, I made sure to avoid carbs as much as possible. I lived on Protein Shakes, SF Greek yogurt, soft scrambled eggs, SF Protein pudding (this stuff tastes like %#<>% but it really packs the protein), and puréed meats and veggies. Thankfully, I only had to do soft foods for a week. My plan kept me on full liquids for the first five weeks, purées for a week, soft foods for a week and then normal foods as tolerated. I'm no nutritionist, but I believe that a protein forward diet really helps with weight loss.

Rev. Del, also had surgery on April 21st. Losing weight very rapidly. Against advice, I don't weigh everyday, but rather once a week as I get too much in my own head if I gain a pound on a day. I agree about what to eat -- focusing on 75% Protein intake (mushy soft cooked turkey or chicken; cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese) and 15% veges (canned green beans; sweet potato) and 10% fruit (no-syrup canned pears, soft applesauce), and as few straight carbs as possible other than an occasional tiny cracker to chew thoroughly. Of course, even dairy has carbs but does not concern me. I was addicted to straight carbs for 50 years, it is great not to crave them now, no room in the pouch!! You will get through this, and welcome.

@@Rev Del I am so happy to hear someone else with this same issue. I had surgery the same day as you and I also weigh every day. Week one I lost ten pounds. Week two, only one. This week I have gained for two days, then down less than I gained, gain more for a couple days, down, gain a bunch. I now weigh back to almost as high as I was on April 28th!!! My one sanity saving grace is that my body fat percentage is going down and my size has gone down a bit, but the numbers thing is disheartening. I have gone through, and am going through, too darn much to not see the scale numbers go down. A stall I could tolerate, but to keep going up? Not cool!
