I know how you feel I still feel that way sometimes Just remember to take it slow! Listen to your body when you feel full stop!you will be fine!! post soon let me know how your doing.

Hi Michele, I just read your profile and I'm truly sorry that you had so much trouble with the hospital night staff. I am happy that you are post op and without drains...they were the pits especially emptying them and trying to keep the rubber one dry Definitely read labels and try not to take in anything with more than the 5% fat and carbs. Chicken broth, and pureed soups (not cream style) are good, and don't forget the protein (skim milk, Advant Edge protein drinks (Walmart, drug store, etc.) sf jello, sf popsicles, jarred baby food but no fruity ones and beware of the veggie ones too (high in sugars). Pureed turkey and chicken with a bit of salt, some small curd cottage cheese and a tbs of sf applesauce on a plate looks like a lot and is all good. Take care, try new ways to prepare foods so that you can eat them. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and awesome weight loss! LindaM
