Thanks!!!

Have u started soft foods yet? Or still liquids?

[jpov821 79]

Today I had a French onion Soup from long horn without the cheese. I ate a little bit of the bread(it was very soft) that was in it and some of the onions and I didn't have a problem. That's the closest to non liquids I've had. I have my first post-op follow up appoint. I'm gonna see what my Dr says and see if maybe I can start some mashed potatoes this week or something. We'll see

It's soooo ridiculous that I feel like I just ran a marathon after I do something simple like getting my kids ready for school.

So I have been freaking out that I've been able to drink about 1.5-2 cups of liquid over 30 min period. I thought that was too much. The surgeons said that it was great to be able to drink that much but won't be able to eat that much. So today I made a cheddar potato Soup and could only eat 1/4 of a cup of it and was full!

Yeah I think the thinner liquids go down a lot easier. The cheddar potato is a lot thicker so it probably filled you more.

How you feeling Heather?

[vanceheather5 69]

In doing pretty good. I'm down 23 lbs since pre op. I raked the yard today! I'm still pretty sore around my incisions but overall fairly good! I get tired very quickly but that'll get better. I ate mashed potatoes today. It took me almost 2 hrs to eat a cup. Lol but held them down. I think in ready for softs but I'd LOVE some meat! How about you?

Omg, Heather...I am craving meat like crazy and still have another week of liquids!

So glad to hear you're feeling better and are up and around more. Congrats on the 23 pounds! That's awesome. Keep it up!

[jpov821 79]

That's awesome!! I'm feeling pretty good too! My incisions don't really hurt much but they are ridiculously itchy. I just wanna scratch the hell out of them!! I'm actually gonna have done mashed potatoes tomorrow when we go out to Rainforest Cafe for my nieces birthday. Not many other options!! I can't wait for meat!!! I feel like a savage!!

[jpov821 79]

I really can't believe the small amount of food that makes me full. It's definitely gonna be an adjustment!
