I have one of the most restrictive and slowest phase growing plans of, I think, about anyone I've come across on this forum....

I'm at 8 weeks post (OK on TUESDAY I will be), but FINALLY get to add in fish, eggs, cheese and Beans. Oh Good Lord it's been a haul.

I had salmon (all of about 1/4 cup) and it was wonderful!! Also had some chili. YUMMM!

I know a lot of others have been eating this stuff since like week 2, but I vowed to follow my surgeon's orders and I made it! To be honest I think it helped to break a lot of my head hunger in the past 2 months....Hmmmm...maybe that's the method to their madness.

Anyway, just wanted to share that I made it!!

Way to go! Im sure by now fish and beans never tasted sooo good. Lol congrats.

Congrats for making it! Mine is slow progression too. I'm on clear liquid for 2 weeks, then full liquids for weeks 3-6, then puréed/soft weeks 7-12, then regular food from week 13 onward.

I've survived my first week of clears & lost 6.4 lbs so far & haven't had any head hunger so far.

Congrats on progressing & doing well with what you tried! :-)

Way to go!

Great job!! You've also lost almost half your weight already!! That's wonderful!!

Just remember to take it slow. Great job. I have to keep reminding myself.

Good for you! My head hunger came and went. I think only 3 or 4 times I can distinctly recall kind of bummed that I COULDN'T eat something.

Thanks Lissa! You are such a regular inspiration to me! I started my Couch to 5K today because you make working out sound like so much fun! Thanks for your constant support!

Thanks! I will. So far Water is the hardest thing for me to take slow - oh! And remembering to not drink while I eat. That's a toughy!

Nancy, Working out IS fun!! Even when I'm sweating and feeling like I'm gonna die, I make myself think about things like how good my arms and thighs (and butt) are looking and how much better they are GOING to look once I've done a few more workouts! THAT is motivating to me!!!
