Question About the Reasoning Behind the Pace of Advancing Through Food Stages

 Shanneee,

We both had our surgeries on the same day and I am just like you. I sometimes feel like I haven't had surgery because I am recovering so well and haven't much probelm getting anything down. My surgeons plan isnt strict at all which is kind of freaking me out because everyone else that had surgery when we did is still on liquid or purees. After day 11, I am allowed to eat soft moist fish and poultry and mashed potatoes etc as tolerated. I hope that this does not slow down my weight loss because I ate half of a chicken thigh with potatoes last nite that I cooked in a crock pot for 4 hrs.  

I think I had slight discomfort once when I drank too much of a chocolate protein shake, I hate sweets. Didn't care for them preop and definitely hate them post op. I don't want any damn jello, pudding, or shakes!!! :(  So I made me some chilli last week with turkey and beans and it went down great! 

I hope that I havent messed myself up with my dinner last nite...
