So Dr. O's diet restrictions lighten up at 3 weeks BUT I am too scared to eat. I know it sounds crazy but I take the smallest bites of mashed potato - which is the thickest thing I have had so far. I was living on broth, SF pop and thin cream soups. I moved onto mashed potatoes but that's it. My last visit with the NP I was told to start eating. Imagine that?!?! Me? Not eating and having to be told to eat?!?! There is some comfort in full liquids - they feel good going down. And warm soups feel very good!!! So yeah, there is a bit of fear about trying new foods and testing out my new tiny tummy. Any advice for this big chicken sleever?!?!

I'm afraid I can't help you in department yet. Since you are ahead of me.

You might have a little more luck finding advise on some of the main boards. Besides, I'm sure several people on the boards are looking forward to hearing from you again.

I see you are down 29 lbs <high five>

Thanks!! Yep - 29 lbs... hard to believe. The funny thing is, I am still wearing the same size pants. I don't get it!!! Grrr! I notice the loss in my thighs (thnak goodness) and boobs (cry cry cry). LOL

Well I pushed myself and I had Peanut Butter, a tiny bite of green bean and a real baked potato. I think going low carb will be hard since I relied on mashed potatoes for my mushies... eek! I will keep you updated!!
