Yes I had some fish last night I know am supposed to be on clears but I was having a bad day and my husband wanted to go out to eat, we ordered haddock and split it . I only ate about 4 to 5 bites. But it was good no problem at all

Fabulous! I saw my dietitian today and she said I can move to blends next week...how long did you have to chew it?

I moved to solids one week before I was supposed to and it went fine. Today is 6 weeks and I've lost 45 pounds and eating almost everything.

I chewed it till it was liquid, more than 25 times. Today I'm being better broth and juice and Popsicles, but for some crazy reson I am hungry for cucumbers and radishes. Can't wait till I'm cleared for veggies. Next weekend I'm leaving town for a wedding and I hope I can have some semi normal food for the trip.

Well today I saw my Dr and the Nut. They didn't get on to me very much for not following the diet. But the doctor was adamant about no solids until 6 weeks. Oh well. So today I made a vow to be good and follow the diet. But on a good note I'm down 44 lbs since the beginning of my journey and 14 since surgery woohoo!!!!! No I have to figure out how I am going to make it this weekend, I am leaving town for a wedding. I n Lousianna!!!!!! Ugh I guess I will be packing my food.< /p>

Good luck this weekend! What else were you eating ?

Last night I had instant mashed potatoes, I added some powdered milk to boost protien, not bad. I gues this morning I will make some cream of wheat. I am really going to try to follow the diet. I have never been good at following a diet for more than a few days, I get bored with the same foods very quickly. But I lost another lb so it will be worth it.

I had egg salad yesterday. After two weeks of liquids I never thought anything could taste so good. It took about 30 minutes to eat, but I was satisfied for hours. I'm looking forward to yoghurt and deli meat slices today. It's funny how these once very common foods are suddenly so marvelous. Bon Appetit!

I started soft foods on Day 5. I'm two weeks out now and eat most things, I just chew them up until they are very soft. The only things I won't eat yet are bread, Pasta, fresh fruit and vegetables, and of course junk food.

My early eating started over desperation to get some Protein in because I won't drink the shakes. I'm careful and never eat more than a tablespoon of food at one time. Just praying I don't cause a leak.

I agree my main reason to moving to new foods was for the protien...I refuse to loose my hair

Ohh my goodness, I just got back from a conference in Louisiana and let me tell you I was struggling! I ordered a lot of crawfish bisque, where the crawfish are already very soft and tender. I just made sure to chew chew chew until there were no discernible lumps.
