I agree that it takes concentration. The small bites as well as the chewing. Also I made sure not too put too much on my plate. I figure if I want more later I can have it but better not to overdo it. Had cottage cheese and apple/cherry baby food. It was delicious!

I cant eat more than 1/2 cup of food. I eat my meal out of a 1/2 cup container. I have learned how to master what I put in those containers. :)

I have layered and "casseroled" my meal in those containers to get my meat and veggies. For instance, tomorrow I am going to have sweet potatoes and chicken

Victorious - that's about it for me too. I also mixed/layered. For lunch I had baby food turkey with gravy on top of some mashed potatoes. Gosh that was good too. So many choices now after almost one month of liquids/shakes only!

I started mushies today too! I just had 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, and I'm about to have 1/2 cup lentil Soup. I was kinda scared to eat real food again, but it's been in me 5 minutes now, so far so good

YAY!!! Congrats!!!

Omg, really great! :) just to feel normal again.....my mouth wasn't used to the physical sensation of chewing, like I forgot how to eat! Lol

I ate so slow I felt like I was going in slow motion!! LOL, I was so happy and did not want it to end. Eventhough it was a small basic meal, it was soooo good just to chew and taste cooked food other than Soup again.

I started my mushies on Thursday and I still can't even eat a lot which is wonderful to me. Not sure if I'm scared of overeating & getting sick or if I'm not that hungry. I'm still drinking Protein Shakes to get my Proteins in but I find that I love egg beaters now. I eat 1 egg beater in the morning & have a glass of milk an hour later & I'm not hungry all day until around 8pm or so but I'm trying my best to get to that goal of getting the amount of Protein I need in & it's really hard. Drinking 64oz of Water is even harder for me. I never thought that taking sips will be so hard, I mean I can take the sips but after a while I forget that I'm drinking something & not finish the water. Crazy but I guess this all takes some time getting use to. Good Luck everyone & Happy New Year!

Ahhh, it's the mushie things in life. Congrats to entering the next stage of your journey.

Time to start practicing your band rules. Small bites (nickle size), chew chew chew and wait 1 minute between bites.

Good luck on your journey!

Debbie - my doc had me do Clear Liquids the day of surgery, then Protein Shakes, milk, and strained cream Soups for a week. Week 2 I started puréed mushies. Next week Friday I get to start on soft foods like chicken and seafood. Week 4 I am back to regular foods. Each doc is different from what I see on these boards.

I should have, but I did buy several plates. A set for work and home.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
