my doc has a 3 week liquid after surg. 1 week clears 2 week full, then i can start eating mushies and solids, just make sure i try only 1 thing at a time. i tried some gyro meat and it went down good but i make sure to chew chew chew. Personally i like the liquid stage because i looooove tomato soup with blended ricotta and some hot sauce.. yummy Also tried some tunafish and it was good to.

see this is why i havent' weighed myself. So much obsessing about wether were doing things right and wow were not losing weight. I am on strike LOL.. I have not weighed myself since leaving the hospital. My doctor stressed to me that it is not about losing weight right now but healing. And the more stress i have the less i will accomplish both things. So darn it i need a sign and a picket line"i will not weigh", "i will not weigh" I feel better everyday, lighter if you may those are the things that tell me im losing some and my clothes do fit a lil different, but until the 29th of this month i will not weigh myself because i know i will also obsess about it. Stay positve my friends. If you only lose 1 lb thats 1 less you had before surgery, You all will do great i know it. Have a great day.

how much pizza did you eat? Pizza can be a decent food if you choose right and limit portion. whole wheat pizza with lowfat cheese and tomato sauce. I take my son for WIC appt. and the nutrion counselors say that pizza as healthy as you can make it in limited amounts it not a horrible food. good source of veg. and calcium and whole grain if you use the wheat crust. I wouldn't eat alot and not often so keep your head up chicky, put it behind you and move on. Your gonna do great

hey chic you might want to also post in the clothing xchange forum. But no worries on posting here.
