Went for my one month follow up and I'm down 31lbs...so excited. However, my MD released me from purees and set me free onto a "normal"diet. Thing is, I'm scared shirtless to eat now...so used to eat the things I've been working on. Anyone else feel like this?

I'm in the same boat but no raw veggies or red meat for 2 more months at least. New foods are hard on me right now. Sticking with what I know and relying a lot on my protein drinks.

It amazes me how different doctors have their own timeliness.when I get to pudding consistency next week its gonna be for 6 weeks. At least there are plenty more options but geeze that's a long time compared to other times I have read on here..

I discussed with my doc that I am afraid to move from the full liquid stage and as such I'm almost a week behind my goal calendar. He agreed with me that given my difficulties (complications) there is no need to rush.

You might want to ease in with a mechanical mushy stage which would be where I would be at your stage. If that sounds interesting I'll tell you more detail but basically it's things like wet ground beef (spaghetti sauce is the wet part) small curd cottage cheese, all Soups, casserole dishes without bread, soft etc.

One month check up tomorrow. Kinda nervous to see total weight loss. I know I have been at astallmfor the past 5 days. I think the stall has been the hardest part. My mental mind really wants cookies and cheeseburgers!
