I start mushies on Thursday and it’s all I ever think about! I’m totally obsessed about my first meal, and all the meals after that. Is this unhealthy?

After two weeks of nothing but clear liquids and protein shakes I’m so hungry and it’s all I can think about. My obsession with food is what got me here in the first place and I’m trying to not obsess, but man… am I hungry!!

P.S. Anyone have some good suggestions for a good first meal??? I'm drooling thinking about it. :thumbup:

I had my postop check on Wednesday, which was day 15 for me, and I was supposed to start mushies that day. Turned out I got a fill that day instead, so I still had to wait 48-72 hours before I could have mushies. I told my surgeon, I had been REALLY looking forward to mushies! I'm not really hungry, I just want to CHEW something. I have visions of gnawing on a T-bone steak (I never steak like that, lol).

If you're truly hungry, wonder if you should have a fill? I told my surgeon I wasn't really hungry, but I kept reading about "sipping on clear liquids, 'try' to get down 8 oz. in an hour or so" - and I could turn up a Slim-Fast and drink it, follow it with another drink. He said since I was apparently feeling no restriction at all, I should probably get my fill a bit earlier.

Okay, so here's a question: I got my fill Wednesday, and I can still drink as much as I want. Is that common with liquids? Will I feel different with mushies? And a confession: I actually made a bowl of tomato soup tonight and I could have eaten the entire bowl at one sitting with no hesitation at all. I didn't, because I wasn't hungry, but it was going down, no problem... then I drank a glass of juice. So I'm befuddled!!

Lots of people don't feel restriction until after they have had a couple fills, so I wouldn't worry too much about the fact that you are having no problem holding down large amount of fluids.
