Thanks to all of you for the responses! I realize I didn't offer any info on myself. I'm not the most patient person in the world. I am feeling better about things. It's been about a 20lb loss in the first month or so. I kept hearing stories of 50lbs in the first month but never took into consideration all of the variables.

I'm feeling so discouraged. What kind of wt loss could I expect a month after surgery??

They gave me cream of wheat in the hosp after my surgery. I was told that was part of the liquid stage. Also cream soups as long as they're strained so that you're not getting the chunks of chicken or mushrooms or whatever. I also made very runny mashed potatoes one night, with Skim milk to add some protein. Thinking about making that again with chicken broth added in. At this point, yeah, I'm ready to lick a steak!! Good luck!
