Started soft foods today

HOORAY!!!!!!!  I had me some chicken salad and grapes for dinner tonight!!!!  All I can say is OH MY GOD!  It didn't take much for me to fill up.  Maybe an ounce of the chicken salad and about 4 grapes and I'm done!  But it tasted SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!  And trust me, it wasn't just the fact that it was chewable that made it taste so good.  It was amazing how much more I could really taste food after my surgery.  It was as if my taste buds had been dead and were magically resurrected after surgery.  I don't know if it was a mental thing because food was no longer an enemy I had to fear or if there really was a major change in my taste buds but man oh man...food really does taste good now. :)  My husband has especially enjoyed the change because I became way more interested in cooking new things and apparently the quality of my cooking dramatically improved after I could actually taste the food. *grin*

Aaron Good for you!  I am back on mushie myself.  I like crab meat with fat free mayo, that is really good.  It sounds like you are on your way to being a big loser.  The first meal is nuts cause you can still remember how much you could eat before and now this little bit, WOW!  Keep up the good work. Hugs Kristen

Good for you Aaron!!  I know just the chewing its self is sooooo satisfying.  Also, funny how you get so full so fast.

Congrats Aaron....glad to hear things are moving forward....let the fun begin! :)

Woo Hoo, I remember when I had my 1st meal....can I say religious experience!!!! wait til you expand out of the chicken and grapes to Tuna, Salmon STEAK...oh my God that was the best when I ate steak:) Keep up the great work....you look awesome, Jen

Good for you, Aaron, glad to hear your first soft meal went well and stayed down too.  Grapes and chicken salad together sound really yummilicious.  Wow you have already lost over 80 pounds.  That is amazing! ......
