mail mom

I lived on suger free popsicles it feels like you are eating because you actually get to chew I swear I had about 5 a day

So I have now been able to eat solids for two days and already I have gained back two pounds I am so upset. I dont even go for my first fill till june 4th by then I will gain everything back how do I keep it off do I stay on a liquid diet?:sad_smile:

Well I had my first meal today it was a tuna sandwich w/salad it was soooooooooooo good I had no problems with getting it down. I think the hardest thing was not being able to drink with my meal. I am also having so much guilt about eating since I have been on liquids for so long I am scared to death to put on the 17 pounds that have come off. Can I just do shakes in the morning and lunch and stick w/one meal a day?

I am a mail carrier and I went back one week I was okay not to sore

I get to eat solids in two days yeah! I know we have to have three meals a day does each meal have to contain a protein a carb fruit and greens? I am confused can I have oatmeal for breakfast a salad for lunch then a normal meal at dinner? I have to be at work at 6 in the morning so I need something on the run any helpful hints and in between can I have a protein shake because my dr. said no snacking in between

Thank you all so much for your input!

Help I am 10 days post and I am sick of liquids I am getting so confused they said I can eat creamy soups but they said if I can't drink it then dont eat it well which on is it I am getting burnt out on broth and popsicles someone help me please:cursing:
