Opps. Lost Track Of Time

[working4shoes 55]

Saw the surgeon today and I guess I lost track of time. Here I was thinking I'm 2 months post op. but I'm only 6 weeks. Lol. I know I know. Technicality.

Anyway, I am down 24lbs and he asked me if I felt full. I told him now. He told me I needed to start eating more solid foods. Like chicken breast. ( not the mushy chicken salad I make). And steak. Etc. I have been a little scared to try it.

Wow you are doing great for six wks. Congrats! I go in next Monday, just want it over with. This full liquid diet is killing me, lol! Did you have to do one?

No I didn't have to do a pre-op diet but it was strongly suggested to have a Protein Shake as one mean replacement and not to gain any weight.

Great job!! Nothing to fear from the chicken breast and other solid foods. Chew very well and eat slowly. You may discover that you get full much faster, stay full longer, and consume considerably less in terms of volume than you would with soft foods. All good things and chicken is an over-the-top source of Protein. Congratulations!!
