I had my second week follow up today with my surgeon and nutritionist. Results were pleasing. I have lost 17 pounds!!!

I can have soft foods and her sample menu sounded like it would be as good as filet minon!!! I was fully hydrated also which is a good thing.

My sample meals are: scrambled egg with cheese for Breakfast

For dinner 1/3 cup of Protein, (she suggested thin deli meats cut very small to start, 1/8 cup of string Beans and T of mashed potato. I am nervous about trying this I must admit. I am also to walk 10 to 20 minutes each day.

Cindy, it looks like you are doing wonderful thus far. Now that you are starting the softer foods, remember to take it very slow. Take tiny, baby size bites and chew the food to a liquid mush before you swallow. Then, wait a minute in between bites to make sure everything is going down ok and to help decide if you have had enough to eat. I am sure you will do fine as long as you remember these important bandster rules.
