I'm finally feeling human today. Admittedly, I was feeling better each day after the operation, but today I feel a lot less fuzzy. I think getting off the anti-nausea patch last night helped with that (although my vision is still blurry).

Yesterday, I started on mushies, and even before I put anything in my mouth, I had bad heartburn and felt kind of bummed out and uncomfortable. I have a lot less heartburn today. My incisions are itchy, but don't hurt as much. All in all, I'm feeling a bit more positive about the operation. I've lost 10 lbs or so so far, and it's probably mostly Water, but I like how loose my watch and ring feel! I have been eating my cottage cheese and refried Beans and eggs and yogurt, a little bit every couple of hours, and I don't feel starving like I did at the end of the liquid stage. I'm even considering what recipes to make that I can blend up in the soft foods stage.

It's like being ill and getting better; the best feeling in the world!

Human is good!! Glad you are feeling better!

Congrats on feeling better...I wish I had a quicker transition to mushies. I have to wait until Sept 3rd....blah! Thank you for being an inspiration.:Banane37:

Glad you are feeling better! I wish I could go to mushies, I still have to wait 11 more days, argh! I can't wait to chew.

I did have an NSV today that made me not feel so sorry for myself. I was down a size in clothes, I needed new pants and was pretty excited when I went down a size!

That's great! When my dietician was talking about post surgery she made a suggestion for the mushie stage of Spaghetti Bolognese blended and risotto blended...I am already looking forward to giving it a try :biggrin:
