Real Food - Yay!

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!!

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! :-)

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.

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

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!!!
