Been doing well on "real food" thus far (day 5) but today had a challenge with egg which I was surprised to have. But the upside is that I DEFINITELY know the feeling of full, and the NUT is correct, your whole meal can fit in the size of your palm. Still doing protein shake at night, sip sip sip water all day. I can do this!

This Thursday marks 5 weeks post op and according to NUT and Doctor, can now start on soft foods. Slightly nervous and excited at same time to chew something! Random question for the day: I love to sleep on my tummy, but nervous about it. Anyone else feel same way or when did you sleep on tummy again?

Sleeved on January 17th and doing great. I sip my water all darn day. I have one of those huge plastic cups that holds 30 ounces and fill it twice a day. For breakfast I either have 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt with a little strawberry jelly mixed in to take the edge off. I take my chewy multi vitamin. Then I pore myself half a bottle of isopure over ice and alternate between that and water until lunch. Lunch and dinner is soup soup soup. My doctor instructed 5 achy long weeks of soup. I'm a connoisseur of soup. I can rock some progresso southwestern veggie soup zip blended to thin (and strained) with a teaspoon of plain Greek yogurt. You squeeze you eyes real tight and swear its tortilla soup. In the afternoon I take my calcium right after soup. Seems to make the vitamins go down easy. After dinner I sometimes treat myself to no sugar added, all natural juice bar. I've been walking and walking and went 1.6 miles today, proud of myself. I also dabble in a little bit of wii dance with my kid, but take it easy, not too much jumping. It's a journey and with this new tool we have, we can all do it!

I was sleeved on Jan 17th. Doing well on protein shakes, yogurt, runny cream of wheat, some creamed soup, and water, water, water. Still napping for at least an hour or two a day. Always tired. My protein intake is between 40 and 50 grams a day. Lordy do I miss chewing.
