Well I had my first meal today it was a tuna sandwich w/salad it was soooooooooooo good I had no problems with getting it down. I think the hardest thing was not being able to drink with my meal. I am also having so much guilt about eating since I have been on liquids for so long I am scared to death to put on the 17 pounds that have come off. Can I just do shakes in the morning and lunch and stick w/one meal a day?

I was also worried about putting on some weight when I started back on solid foods. And honestly I did but gain back about 3 pounds but it came right back off because not only are you giving your body more nutriants but also energy. You will be moving around more at this stage so you need the food to continue to lose the weight. If your doctor suggests only 1 meal a day at this point then go with that but if he thinks you should be eating 3 meals then dont go against his word. dont worry about gaining a few pounds back. before you know it the number will be going down again and you may not even see if creep up for a few days.

Congratulations! I'm home my first full day after surgery, and sipping away, lol!
