I am looking forward to the pureed food stage but I still have a week to wait. I have a hard time with waiting.

One thing I have discovered is that whey isolate does not create the creamy texture when you blend it with ice. So the mixes I bought are disappointing.

The broth is keeping me going for a taste of something different.

Ten days post op and feeling really good. All the laproscopic incisions have healed nicely. No more nausea, no acid reflux, life is good. I have lost 17 pounds since this journey began.

Okay, now 17 days post open and have started trying to eat soft foods. Oh my, heart burn and learning food affects me differently. Really cannot eat more than a a couple of tablespoons of food. Also have had two close calls with nausea from eating.

I am chewing a lot, but still too fast.

I waited such a long time to get this surgery. It is has been a great thing.

I have not lost as much weight this week, but I started eating more food and drinking the Protein Meal Replacement less. I also began walking more. I can tell my old bugaboos are still there. Carbs I have to be especially careful about. I think the crackers I have been eating is what is slowing the weight loss.

I think I will try making smoothies with fresh veggies and fruit and add the unflavored Protein. I want to make a transition to healthy foods.

O.k. food is getting a little easier.

Easier but still challenging-I am still eating too fast and the everything hits my pouch and it is too much.

Try using baby utensils (if you haven't already) and put down your fork or spoon between bites. Chew well!

So it's been 3 most since surgery and I am doing good great. I have lost 40 lbs. I have more energy than before and I keep adding more exercise. I am very happy. It is so nice to eat a small portion and feel full.
