My mom is on my tail bc she thinks I'm eating wrong. I followed the list for the first two weeks. I've lost 18 pounds (that's without exercise). I started experimenting with foods to see what my stomach could handle for example I eat a large fried egg in the morning with a little salt and pepper. The other day I tried eating with it a dry small piece of toast. Nothing happened. I felt fine. She said it was too much food. But I added, bread is a lot of air and once I chew it up its a very small amount, what do you think? I'm also eating homemade chicken salad, about two tspns, on a piece of lettuce or on one piece of bread. I'm drinking slim fast so I can help get my protein. I drink milk, I'm eating the mini baby bell cheese, yogurt. She is just worried about the bread being to much. Any wise advice??

You are very lucky to be able to handle certain food this early out. I was the same, and my doctor was very happy with my progress. He started me on solids on day 10!!! coz I was starving on soft foods. After the solids started my hunger vanished. We are all different and our doctors are all different and a good doctor would tailor a diet to your needs if you are complication free. I do not believe in streching out the soft food stage, yes you will lose faster but you will stall big time once you transit to solids.

Do as you feel like, eat what you can handle but verify it with your doctor first.

esskay77, how did you get so wise? It must be in part due to WLS. Funny enough, I did read a study concluding that it does just that. Apparently losing the weight and getting healthy does affect cognition. All joking aside your post above is spot on. You put just as I will once I get my RNY and get smarter...lol. But I am not there yet!

Good advice my friend!

If you are serious, I'm only wise because of this forum!! I have learned so much here.
