I have lost almost 20 pounds since my surgery on July 28. I just started introducing soft mushy foods today and I was able to eat three meals: Half a cup of hummus, half a cup of lentil Soup, and an Asian broth with soft tofu. For a snack I had quarter cup of cottage cheese and I felt totally totally full all day long.

You do have to eat very slowly. It's a nice change of pace considering I used to eat so so so so quickly. Looking forward to the days to come. Tomorrow I plan to go to Boston market to get mashed potatoes and creamed spinach.

Good job!

Thank you!

I am worried though because I have seem to gain half a pound ever since I started eating. I only ingested less than 600 calories yesterday with all these foods. Does anyone know how many calories we should be eating in the "mushy" stage of our diet?
