First Time Eating Soft Food

[victoriatxgirl 64]

has anyone else ate soft food and felt this way?

Yes, you just have to take really small bites, smush it in your mouth and swallow slowly. You may not realize you are taking too big of bites for your new tummy or eating too fast. Same thing happened to me.

I don't know about everyone else but I'm going to be really nervous to eat real food again, I could just live off of liquids myself cause I'm 5 weeks out and I have not had any hunger pains or cravings of any kind.

yess i was very scared.my dr only made me do liquids for two weeks then soft 3 to 6 weeks.i feel ok now but that feeling i got earlier was really weird.

My Dr has had me on liquids for almost 6 weeks, so I have really forgotten what it is like to eat real food.< /p>

all drs are different

you said a mouthful when you said all dr. are different/NUTS too.

everybody has their own opinions and advise. Always follow what your dr. or NUT says

remember that everyone loses weight at their own speed, amount loss.

Never compare dr./NUT or yourself to others

good luck in your continuing journey
