today is my third day post op and i am dying. i'm so tired of the shakes, too, and am not getting in all the other liquids (water,broth, etc.) that they want me to be getting in. today i gave in and had 2.5 oz of gerber 1st foods organic applesauce. nothing bad happening and it did give me a little bit of a fuller feeling as i feel as if i'm starving. it was pretty liquidy to begin with and i made it moreso by swishing it all around in my mouth before swallowing. i cannot wait til my follow up appt on the 24th when they finally move me to mushies. it will be like heaven!!!!

I just bought the greatest little single serve Hamilton Beach blender. I have not even been the smoothie route until today. Yoplait, milk, fruit and Protein Powder is yummy.

i have that hamilton beach mini blender thing and it's still sitting in it's box. sadly, i'm not much of a smoothie person. but i did just place two online orders for some new Protein powders for me to try. i ordered some from bariatriceating.com and some from Unjury. hopefully i'll find something new in all those that i like. i'm looking forward to trying unflavored ones that i can mix in with other foods and the chicken Soup one from unjury.

I'm 7 days post op and feeling like normal except for the tenderness around the incisisions. I'm losing weight which is great but I do miss all the food mentioned above because I think there is a psychological aspect to it. Missing the taste of food, chewing and what food meant. I went out to eat with my husband and kids and there I sat, drinking tea, wanted to cry but got through it, barely. lol. I've been drinking a shake in the morning, shake for lunch and dinner an bowl of Tomato Soup and sugar free popcicle. 10 lbs down. WE CAN DO THIS!:wub:

i miss food so much, too. i can't imagine going out to eat right now. i'd prolly have a breakdown.
