I'm 2 weeks post op and I keep rushing myself and have to remember that's it's only been 2 weeks. I'm supposed to be on a soft purée but so many things make me sick. Haven't yet got the hang of "eating". Plus the mental part I think is the hardest, I mean that's how I got so big to begin with- I LOVE FOOD! I think this forum is great because only we know what you're going through! Hang in there, remember you didn't put the weight on overnight and taking it off is going to take time. You can do it!
