Welcome to your new life; everything will be great! I am six months out and
have lost 74 lbs and 95 lbs form the highest I ever weighed. I would
recommended that you get some Crystal Light; it was a life saver for me.
Also some Malt o Meal and cream of potato soup reallly helped. Good luck
and we will see you on the other side.

I would grab some hearty soups to have for lunches and dinners: tomato
soup, pureed split pea soup, pureed cream of broccoli, etc. For breakfast,
try having pureed cottege cheeze with a scoop of peach yogurt; ricotta
cheeze with a scoop of strawberry yogurt; cream of wheat cereal;
applesauce, etc. Most importantly is your protein drink!

Do not buy alot of anything!!!! Once I had surgery I couldn't stand
anything sweet especially artificially sweet. I am still trying to drink
sugar free drinks and I am 4 1/2 months out. The biggest thing I found
that helped was milk it has a little bit of everything
fat,calories,protein, calcium. Herbal tea is great for sitting by the TV
and drinking before bed. Be careful with tomato soup due to the sugar from
the tomatoes and added sugar also the acid in them hurts like all get out.
At about 3 months I could have tomatoes but watch the soup. Any soup that
can be pureed is good. At first you will only eat about 2 tablespoons so a
can should last a while. Good luck and welcome to the losing
side..............

I suggest buying some of the smallest food storage containers you can get
your hands on. You can never finish a whole container of anything, don't
wan't stuff to go bad. I am at the pureed phase and make up small
containers to take places with me to.
