Finally - a real meal!!

I have REALLY been struggling with solid foods.  I'm just over 5 weeks post-RNY and just have not been able to manage solids; purees were even worse because the texture of ANYTHING pureed made me gag.  But finally,  I had my first real meal tonight...chicken with mashed potatoes and no-fat gravy and green beans.  It was pure heaven!!!  It took me nearly and hour and a half to eat 1 1/2 oz of chicken and 1/2 a small potato and a tbsp of green beans (and I had to heat it in the microwave twice), but it was well worth it.  I never thought I'd be satisfied with such a tiny meal and I never thought I'd feel so good about it.  These little milestones just thrill me.

Wow you are giving me hope!  One of my fears is that I will still be hungry.  It's such a hard consep to grasp;)

I thought the same thing.  Before this surgery, I couldn't imagine not being hungry.  It's a very strange thing, but it's true now that I have very little - almost no hunger.  It's great :)

it will get better...and what you are describing happens to a lot of people...when I found something that I could tolerate I ate it often...

maybe that's one of the reasons I eat the exact same thing 4 days of the week for lunch~!
