I posted this one other place too, just wanted to share because I know these weeks without chewing can get frustrating. See if this helps anyone out!

No need to punish ourselves along the way!

Thanks for the links! Are you able to get all your protein and water in? I keep reading where people even further along than us are having problems. I have been able to since day 7. Do you think this means that my stomach could be stretching already? It has only been 9 days.

I think some of that inital stuff is swelling. I doubt you could have stretched your tummy out much just yet!

Teresa I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing? I finally get to have mine done on Thursday. It is so nice to kind of follow you and Anna to kind of see what is coming next. Hope you have a great day!

YAY, on the surgery date! I am so happy for you. I am doing well, today is the first day of the "mushies". I had a 1/4 cup of cottage cheese. I have heard that is supposed to fill you up but it did not me. I have been so darn hungry for a week. I have tried swirching antacids but no luck. I guess that is part of the adjustment. Some never get hungry again and I am wishing that for you. Don't worry about the surgery, the pain is not that bad. I think I might have even emailed you the day of my surgery. Please keep us posted. The weight DOES just seem to melt off so far. WoooHoooo

Hey Theresa,

I just ate my first "mushie" I pureed 2 oz of wendy's chili down to nothing. I ate about half of it and can eat no more. Sorry the cottage cheese didn't do it for you. I'll try that tomorrow.
