fastdogs2

I am 8 days out from surgery. I have lost 10.4 lbs - YEAH! I am having protein shakes, thinned mashed potatoes, pureed ground turkey, pureed beans, pureed tuna fish, etc. I seem to tolerate it just fine. I take really small bites, chew like crazy and only consume about 2 oz. per meal. I get full. I am able to drink most all my fluids. Am I going to fast?

Help me! Tell me I am going to be OK! I weigh myself every morning. I had been dropping more than a pound a day (12.9 lbs lost since surgery) then day 10 nothing, day 11 nothing, day 12 gained 2 lbs!! Having trouble since I went back to work drinking all my fluid. Could that be it? I have a protein shake for breakfast, soup or pureed turkey chili for lunch, and pureed turkey and veggies for dinner. I feel kind of bloated, but not hungry.

Thank you all so much! The scale has finally moved in a positive direction. I am getting organized ... it has been hard working and still concentrating on everything I need to be eating and drinking. I have planned out my meals and will work this weekend to cook and prepare some small containers to bring food to me. And as Meggiep suggested ... set my phone alarm to remind me to drink. It is just so amazing to me that I can go almost all day and not even be hungry. Much different experience than pre-surgery. Thanks for the support, stories and encouragement. It is very much appreciated!
