And I couldn't be happier. I just visited my surgeon today and in the last 3 1/2 weeks I have lost 11 pounds putting my grand total to 19 pounds. Since I am maintaining roughly 2.5 pounds loss per week, he opted not to fill me at this time, geez, this makes me nervous. Anyway, I had my first "mushie" meal and I was so surprised at how little I ate. I ate at Luby's and had about 3 ounces of baked whitefish, couple of tablespoons of tartar and ketchup mixed to wet the fish, about 1/2 c of mashed potatoes, 1/4 c of mac and cheese and 1/2 of a dinner roll. I was pleasantly full and stopped, but as I drove home I began to feel guilty as if I had binged on a huge meal. BUT WAIT, I DIDN'T!!!!....hmmm wonder if the rest of me knows this? It just feels so wierd to eat good stuff and still stay on plan. Thanks for listening everybody!

Congrats to you! When you have been on liquids soft foods taste pretty darn fine!
