What's everyone planning for their first soft mea. I'm thinking scrambled eggs with cheese!

Eugh, my first experience of my new tummy, Basil, not liking something. I tried some coconut milk and boy, has that been a mistake. A very unpleasant mistake. My learning point will be, with new foods, to have a few sips only and see how that goes.

I had wife's spaghetti sauce sauce blended and then on a couple spoonfuls of instant mashed potatoes.. Best 250 calories ever!!!

My scales have stuck for the last 3 days????

Mine too!!!! So frustrating! Glad I'm not alone.

ignore the day to day, focus on the weekly, will keep you from going crazy..????

I tried to eat a baked potato and could only get 2 spoonfuls before I felt like I was going to explode! I was sad because it looked and smelled so good lol This is what I needed though. A restricted way to make me limit the amount of food I can eat! Feeling grateful now

i had baked potatoe left overs for three days.. Crazy the difference from before the sleeve..

completely agree, I'm going to only try new foods at home for awhile. I can imagine great embarrassment occurring at restaurants if I got the urge to try something completely untried.... Ugh.

My surgery is May 20th. I am a bit nervous. Am in McAllen, TX

lily, how are you doing?

I am good. My surgery went great with my preop diet lost 22 lbs. I am still in liquids and I tend to feel weak. Traveled today to Dallas for a conference and plan to be in the office Thursday.
