Okay folks.. I have had nothing but clear liquids for 19 days!!! 19 Days!!! Now as of today I get to have soft/mushy... My mashed potatoes I had for lunch today were the best thing, I think I have ever tasted. :tongue_smilie: Granted it took me 40 minutes to eat 1/2 a cup but I don't care. They were so good. I was terribly nervous to eat anything because I didn't know how it was going to feel. I took the first bit and I thought it was small, then I waited for a second. I felt a little bubble in the back of my throat and then it went away. That happened after almost every bit. Needless to say I was very aware of my bit size and my consistancy before swallowing. I never thought I would be nervous to eat but I really was. Any one else experience that? Tonight I think I will try cottage cheese and maybe some more mashed potatoes but I haven't decided.. Anything but clear liquids is on the menu that is for sure!!!!

beans are also a great mushie!

congrats on making 19 days on liquids! :tongue_smilie:

Oh fat free refried beans and shredded cheese are on the menu.. And maybe some baked beans. Thank you so much for replying. I have read several of your posts on different threads and you are truly and inspiration to me that is for sure. I want to lose weight so that I can have a healthy pregnancy some day and it is great to see how things are going.. So thank you very much and good luck with the little peanut!!!!

I was totally the same way! Afraid to start eating. I think I had scrambled eggs first, and I vowed to marry them! My friend joked that we should draw a tuxedo on a little egg and have a ceremony. Now when I try something new she accuses me of cheating on my egg husband! Lentils are good, any bean. I was slightly lactose intolerant before surgery and apparently, I am really lactose intolerant after, so yogurt and cottage cheese are out. Savor the mushies... I agree, nothing had ever tasted so good in my life!

Success to all!

I am so envious! I can't wait for that stage, one more week to go!
