Hey DeeDee!

Glad to hear things are going well for you. I am still on full liquids until Tuesday. My mind sometimes wants to eat real food, but even just after a couple bites of yogurt my stomach reminds my head who is in charge. It's funny, prior to surgery, I could get in 120g of protein and 12c of water in daily-no problem. I didn't understand what a challenge it would be post-op. Now, I struggle to get in 6c of water and 60g of protein. I get hungry once in a while, take a few bites/sips and am fine for hrs. It past noon, and I'm still trying to get in my protein shake I made for breakfast. My weight is falling off quickly so that helps. I just get concerned that I can't continue to live and be healthy on 400 cal a day. I am sure it will get better once my tummy heals and I get to start solids. I do have my first "mushie" meal planned. I want refried beans with melted cheese, light sour cream and pureed salsa - I'm from Texas and I miss my Mexican food. Take care!
