hello , i am 1 7 days post op, and i am eating mushies. i can eat about 4 oz and feel full butnot stuffed. I am not really feeling any band type feeling like I could eat more!!! MInd over matter . I have donr very well and followed instructions just worried that eating mashed potatoes and smooshed peas 4oz twice a day is too much? In the mornings i have protien shake, water , small coffee. If iam really hungery i will make 3 oz malto meal and sweetner and runny with skim milk. So what ia m asking is am i doing this right????? lol i have days where all i want is liquids i go back and forth. help !! i need reassurance. nancy in olympia

i am 17 days post op and on mushies. examples are smashed peas mashed potatoes and gravey applesauce sugar ffree low carb you gurt, cottage cheese{ which i top with applesauce} jello pudding eggs. Thats all i am eating and i get bored but it is worth the battle. Oh and Malto meal. Now, i measure everything out in 2oz cups gladd makes them with lids. so when i cook up my food i sepreate and its ready and in perfect porpotion everytime. I can eat 2-4 oz of something a meal but have a occasional puddding or somehting in the middle, i know snacking is bad but my stomach says " hey lady" iam empty.. do u want me to get loud??lol back off the meat and chew slow, step back to mushies..mash it with your fork!!good luck

Hey good luck !! I am in olympia!!! i had my surgery june 1st and am doing great now. IT is worth the pain. ill be thinking of you
