    14 pounds is 5% of your total body weight at time of surgery. Let's think about that -- 5% of your total body weight gone in 1 month. Keep in mind, you probably came home heavier than you went in to the hospital because of the IV fluids. It will take your body a minimum of 6 weeks to heal from the surgery.
    In terms of eating solids, keep your portions very small (2 ounces) and chew very, very well. As in chew it until its the consistency of babyfood but in your mouth. Don't eat the baby food, oatmeal and grits. Get rid of the applesauce. If it's coming back up, you are either eating too fast or too much. Start with a scrambled egg. It should take you about 15-20 minutes to eat the entire egg, if you can.
    Don't drink for 30 minutes after you eat. Period. Schedule your meals.
    Get those carbs out of your diet. Right now, your life should be about three things -- Protein, Water and exercise.
    But back to the first question -- think about it -- you have lost 5% of your body weight in 1 month. Let's think about how amazing that is. The pounds will come off. But you have to work the plan and get your head right. Eat slowly and mindfully. And you will be full and you will be able to get all your meals in.
    Work the plan and the plan will work for you.
    Best of luck
