Just wanted to share...down 25 lbs and eating SOFT foods now...WOO HOO

Today was my 3 week post-op appt with my surgeon.  I was down 25 lbs.  WOW...I was excited about that.  I feel great.  I also transitioned to SOFT foods now after being on an all liquid diet since surgery on 3/2.  The liquid diet wasn't so bad though, I finally got used to it, but I am excited to move on to "chewing" again !   

Tonight I had some chopped up flaked tuna and low fat cottage cheese for dinner.  I took the full 25 minutes to CHEW it well and swallow.  I probably didn't eat as much as I should have...kinda scared still about over-doing it and taking 1 bite too many & getting sick but I know that I need to experience what being "full" feels like.  Hopefully I'll do better tomorrow.  Looking forward to my first full day of getting in my 5-6 meals + liquids.  

It's nice to be on the road to "getting healthy".    

25 pound loss is great !
take things slow progress in a comfortable way for you : )

I am right where you are. Surgery was 3/1 and I am down 25 pounds since my weigh-in a few days before surgery. I have eaten tuna, chicken, hard boiled eggs, ground beef and turkey, cottage cheese, yogurt. The only thing I had a problem with was some deli turkey. It didn't come back up but I got the "foamies" everyone talks about.

Good luck. Hope we keep on losing....

I am so glad to hear you are doing well. I am sure the wait was worth it. I am glad Duke was finnally able to get your case organized and started you on this wonderful journey. If you have any questions or need to chat please feel free to contact me.
