You're out of the woods......

I today moved to mushy foods. I am just happy. Everything is moving along so well. I did not overeat, did not feel over full at any point, enjoyed each tiny mouthfull but was ready to quit before I was forced to. It felt so natural.

I think this is right for me. I want to be that person in 2 years who says her only regret is not doing this 5 years ago.

People asked me before surgery if I was excited. I wasn't. It was what I needed to do. But now I'm getting to the new plan, the new way of live and I am so ready. II love hitting the exciting part of this ride.

Maybe there really is life out there! whooo hoooooo

(Who'd have guess a jar of baby food peas could make a person so happy! )

Congrats...but even in the mushy stage I never ate baby food. Yuck. Do you have a sleeve diet guide with mushy food items?

Your post just made me feel good. Sounds like the sleeve was a great choice for you

They had about 20 pages of recipies you could run copies of. I have 3 weeks mushies then 3 weeks soft foods. There's a sort of merge to these items in the middle. Basically the first half I can handle with my food purer and the second half just by checking the texture. I am not a good cook so I only took on recipe which was for a greek yogurt smoothie with chunks of banana (soft food part). I already tried it a couple of different ways and pureed it. I was not impressed. It seemed bland. But I"m a pretty bad cook so it might be me.

And maybe that's why I have found the stage II and III baby foods to be pretty tasty. Sometimes it's about what you are used too!
