Real food is so good

I finally got to start to eat real food this week. It so satisfying to chew real food. I'm going easy, not jumping into tough meat. I've been having white fish, crab cakes, etc. Tonight we went to Red Robin :hungry: and I had a glass of wine and their parmigiano (sp) chicken burger - sans bun and skipped the lettuce and Tomato. I did indulge in a couple of fries. Wonderful! Could only eat half. The rest will be dinner tomorrow. DH continues to be amazed. Me too.

Yes, I too was excited to finally be allowed to CHEW some food again! I had tons of Jello, Soup, juice, broth etc. left-over from my healing stage and I knew I would never want it again! I donated it! I'm gonna CHEW when I can! Happy Healing!

I am two weeks post op & have done really well most of the time. I have to admit that I eat smoothies & super soft food 90% of the time but I have been starting to eat raw fish (sushi grade) & a few other very soft foods. I have to chew! I miss it more than I ever thought I would! I tried the gum but no satification. I feel really good & have been being really careful! Hope I am not harming anything...but anyway...food is good!!! (now I just have less of it):hungry:

I table the suggestion that fries aren't real food. :)

I can only imagine how much you feel unshackled after being on liquids / mushies.

Keep up the progress :)

I agree, Dawg. French Fries aren't real food. I only ate 2 of them. But pre-band I would have eaten all of them and ordered seconds, too. I didn't get banded to count calories and Proteins, etc. I want to eat like normal people, like I used to, but I had to curb my appetite ... to eat less. And so far, that is true. I'm loosing 1-2 lbs a week. When that stops, I will go in for a fill. In the meantime, I love eating again ... and so far (well, except once) no golf balls or pb's.

      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!!
