Hello all. I feel great. No more nausea or difficulty swallowing. I have lost 14 lbs since surgery. One week ago to day. I really can't believe how good I feel. I haven't taken any pain meds in 3-4 days. My staples are out. I have had a BM and drinking liquids like a maniac. I know my body is different. I don't have food cravings and hardly ever hungry. Having to keep up with Protein is a chore but drinking the powder whey and getting the clear isupure is a big help. I plan on using the protein shots in with my pink lemonade or peach diet packets sugar free of course.

I have to more weeks of liquids. I will start my smoothies next week when I get home. Oh, still in Dallas with my sisters recovering. Im driving home to Greenville, MS 6 hours away on Saturday. Have to get out and walk for five minutes every hour.

If any one has some ideas for the mushy stage give me a hola.

Thanks

Glad to hear you're doing so well girl. My favorite thing to eat on mushies was refried black Beans. I would puree them with my stick blender until completely smooth. I LOVE Mexican food, so I this helped me deal with my "salsa withdrawals". Black beans had more Protein than regular refried beans, plus I just like them better. Towards the end of the mushy stage I put a few small bits of jalapenos in also and blended completely smooth. Gave it a great flavor. You can also top with a little cheese and warm it all up in the microwave.

My "comfort food" at that time was Cream of Wheat. I used to eat the heck out of it when I was a little girl, so it's just one of those warm foods that make me feel good inside.
