doctor told me to have mushies =)

I had my two week follow up today. Officially down 18lbs since surgery (23 total) and all is well. I explained to them my protein problem so the told me to go ahead and have mushie meat for now to up my protein (about 5 days early on their plan)

So, I had a little over half a crab cake for lunch and a bite of greens and for dinner I had about 1/2 an ounce of some chicken I made into a chicken salad. Its so weird. I heard yall talk about how little you eat, but to be on the other side of it is STRANGE. I was eating like 4-5oz of applesauce.....but am amazed at how little is "enough" for me. I will say the crab cake was not at home and I think I ate a bite or two too many...I was not really uncomfortable or anything, but it was not as pleasant as stopping very early with the chicken.

Good for you!  I won't be cleared for Phase III diet until Wednesday next week, still on full liquids.  My doc is pretty conservative.  Thats ok by me, I don't want any problems.

I can 't wait for mushies, just for some different flavors and texture! I get to start on Monday.

How did you mush up the crab cake? My plan says applesauce consistency. Did you just mu**** with your fork? Just curios if you used any liquid. Trying to get ideas on how to be creative.

my doctor did not say it had to be that thin. I just took really really small bites and chewed really well.

Yay! I know you are happy! I am doing pretty well with soft foods now. I am stuffed withf 1 oz. Please do not overeat! I did a few times and it was not good! Everything came back up. Now, I measure 1 oz and everything is good!
