2 weeks Five days out.....Phase 2 Diet Fears

[Jennifer Bunt 1]

I am 2 weeks out and Just started Phase 2 of Puree soft foods..I am really nervous about eating the next level of Foods. Are there any pointers or suggestions as to how to Get started and feel Comfortable...When I look at foods now I am not really as hungry as I used to be and Sweet foods such as some of the Protein Shots really make me Sick not sure if this will change as I start to eat. Not sure I want it to but I have a lot of the Protein shots and they are Kind of Pricey so I would like to start drinking them. Does adding the regular foods back into the Diet help this Dislike of Sweet flavors?

Thank you

My SD was Dec 14 and I rarely eat much other than Protein Shakes and my Water. Most of the time I'm not in the mood for food so I just do the shake. When I do have an appetite it's when I'm around others eating things I can't have. The smell is a tease but I don't have a problem not eating. Contining shakes is fine as long as we get the nutrients we need

I have sipped Soups and have found that toddler food is really good and makes two servings.

You've lost 30lbs post surgery? I'm in a stall right now, but I'm patient as long as things get moving before summer :-)

Changing tastebuds are a very common side effect of VSG. You may or may not regain a taste for sweets- many people do not. If sweets were a big part of your previous diet and contributed to weight gain, then I'd call it a victory. It will probably take months to feel "normal", but its all relative as your eating patterns are now permanently changed.

Oops ... Sorry misread your profile. Looks like we're pretty much the same on everything. Hopefully you don't get the 3week stall like me. UGH!
