Hello...I am on soft foods as well. Here is what I have tried so far with no problems.

oatmeal with splenda brown sugar

mashed potatoes

green Beans

scrambled eggs w/ cheese

egg salad

yogurt smoothies

Soup and more Soup, even a couple low fat saltines

a can of low carb choc slim fast per day (20 grams of protein)

sugar free popsicles (chocolate and fruit)

refried pinto Beans from Taco Bell

That is about it so far. I have not gotten hungry yet, but the other day I did have the muchies...tried to just keep sipping on my Special K Protein Water and that seemed to help.

I have my first check up on Thursday and will ask at that time what kind of exercise besides walking that we can do. I feel great today...first day I have felt really awesome so far! I am even putting up the Christmas tree!!! Woo Hoo!

You need to slow down eating...that will help a lot! Take small bites and then put your fork down for at least a count of 10 seconds before you pick it up and eat more.

You will be fine...I would definately voice your concerns with your Doctor. I have heard a lot of people on this thread say they are hungry until their first fill, so it is normal.

Hang in there and keep in touch. We are only 4 days difference in our surgery dates. GREAT!!

Take care..

Seems everyone is doing well. I've only lost 9 pounds since surgery date an most of that was the first week. Clear Liquids do wonders, but boy was I hungry.

Not sure why my weight loss is so slow. I'm getting a little bummed about it. I'm eating around 1,000 day. Well, maybe everyone's different. Any words of wisdom anyone?
