Today I saw my surgeon and had a esophogram. Everything looks good except that I still have some swelling. Also, it looks like some liquid is in the band so I have actual restriction. I have lost about 22 pounds over the course of the pre-op and post op diet.

But today I had the most wonderful meal....my first mushies. I blended some tuna and low fat mayo and slowly ate that. Then I gave myself some greek yogurt. I was only able to eat about 3 spoonfulls but I ended up eating 5. That was a mistake. but it was a useful one. I felt the feeling of really being overfull and that if I had one more mouthful I would regret it. I stopped and did not think about food for about 5 more hours. Tonight I had some cottage cheese with non-fat sour cream. Again, what a great change from the liquids.

This is a great change for me.

I cant wait to be in your shoes ! Congrats!

I hear ya girl! I was on liquids for a total of 4 weeks (pre and post op) and the day I got the go to go on mushies, OH MAN I WAS IN HEAVEN! I havent had a fill yet so I have been able to eat pretty much anything. I just chew really well! Gotta love being off liquids!
