If it fills you up fast isn't that a good thing? That suggests to me that you'd eat less.

It's not a good thing if you are filling up on the wrong foods. You want to get your protein in first, veggies,,fruit then healthy carbs. I know..you would think it would be a good thing to get filled up fast..they make pills that supposedly help do this.lol

Peacequeen, how long until you were able to eat leafy greens? I've tried a few times and it hasn't gone well.

I was a couple months out and I incorporated them slowly..and cooked them till they were soft. You can add them to soups too. I couldn't eat a salad till I was about 3 months out and I chopped the lettuce till it was like slaw. The only thing I have a hard time tolerating now is milk and bread..not milk products..just milk..strange because I used to love it..would drink alot of it pre-surgery.

I should add that a couple months out for me was really about 3 1/2 months because I had a leak and I had to do liquids and mushies all over again.
