Hi Carolyn, How's it going? It's been a few days since we've chatted. I'm scheduled for mushy foods today and for two weeks. But honestly I've had soft veggies in my soups. I chew and chew and chew some more. I can get so much more food down than I could the first two weeks. I think I was just swollen from surgery. I'm kind of happy that food isn't coming back up again. I hope you're feeling confident about your decision to do this still. I hear that the docs like to give you a month for healing, so our first fill will really make the difference with restriction. If I were you, I'd enjoy being able to swallow food for a while. Most people gain a little bit of the weight back that they lost, so I'm expecting to gain some back before I go in for my first fill. I'm more comfortable in my clothes now, so this is a good thing. I'll continue to eat my soft foods for the next two weeks and see how it goes.

Anyway, I really hope you're doing well. Talk soon!

Dawn
