OK I did well today. drank 32 oz of water, and 2 slim fast shakes.. But when I got home I was hungery but think i did good. just ate about 2 oz of smoked shredded turkey.. but now i am not feeling so good.

goodluck and keep it up!!! the first few days are a bit difficult, but then you start getting the hang of it. wish you the best.

I agree with Laura. The first few days are really difficult. But, in no time you'll get used to it especially if you remind yourself why you decided to go through the surgery.

:thumbup:ok up date: Doctor is letting me eat a small dinner with soft foods only but nothing after 6. well, I did really good today, for my dinner tonight i had plain mashed beats with a 1/2 cup of sherpards pie.. it was so cool I acutally felt when i got full and STOPPED!!! I left over half of the small dinner on the plate!!! I have NEVER done that before. Even though I am allowed to eat a small soft meal this week it is back to nothing but liquids next week. So I have decided that if I can go a full day without the meal I am..practice for next week as I see it.

ok have an idea and was wondering if it would work..as of right now i am allowed one small soft meal a day until next week then it is to full liquids only.. so here is the idea if i put watermelon into a blender would that count as a liquid???? It is summer and I normally have watermelon EVERYDAY! (I know stupid question right)
