New To Mushy Foods

[cek31076 7]

Started mushy food the other day and I've gained 3lbs over night.. Huh??? I didn't over eat, I measured EVERTYTHING!

I'm still new (surgery 5/29) but from what I've read, that's totally normal. You're still healing, but the weight will continue to come off.

How were your food choices? For mushies I recommend using low fat laughing cow cheese instead of Mayo; a lot less fat and calories.

You are going from liquids where your body has not held onto anything (cos liquids pass through quickly) to mushies so your body is able to hold onto the food for a little while. give your body time to adjust and keep on following the rules, and you will be fine.

Now is the time, as you continue to heal that you begin to make the best choices for the food you do eat. Low fat, simple and unprocessed foods to begin with. Be certain to get the amount of Protein you are supposed to have every day.

I put everything, but the scrambled eggs in the blender at this stage.

Try not to get obsessed with your scale either...remain compliant with your surgeon's instructions, and you will see the scale move in the right direction.

The greatest lesson this journey has taught me to date is to have patience...the weight did not appear quickly, and we will not likely loose it as quickly as we would like. Stay the course, and keep your eye on the prize!

Best wishes as you recover...
