Fairiefyre · June 18, 2007

hello , i am 1 7 days post op, and i am eating mushies. i can eat about 4 oz and feel full butnot stuffed. I am not really feeling any band type feeling like I could eat more!!! MInd over matter . I have donr very well and followed instructions just worried that eating mashed potatoes and smooshed peas 4oz twice a day is too much? In the mornings i have protien shake, Water , small coffee. If iam really hungery i will make 3 oz malto meal and sweetner and runny with skim milk. So what ia m asking is am i doing this right????? lol i have days where all i want is liquids i go back and forth. help !! i need reassurance. nancy in olympia

I dont think you will feel to full until you get a fill. which is 6 weeks right?

I'm two weeks of doing full liquids, if I never have cream of chicken Soup I will not be sad mashed potato sounds heavenly. Drink your Water. Hang in there and just look at that scale every time you want to give up!

Wow... I am on mushies too. Well, "anything that can go through a straw" and I am so tired of it. Your day sounds about like mine, cream of wheat, protien shakes and runny mashed potatoes. I don't get that "full" feeling I expected. I just stop eating because I am afraid that I am eating too much. I am so confused on what amount I should be eating. I hope it gets better after my fill!

oh it doesnt have to go through a straw for me...spoonable for me. BUt thank you for all your suggestions and support i get worried i am not doing the right thing. Also, i started at 315 then lost 10 so that took me to 305 its been 2 weeks since that and my moms scale said i was 280. IS THAT possible??? its not the same scale so im not too over excited but wow if so.....lol guess ill see on july 2nd....
