^^ me too! I actually have major restriction! I have to force, well not force, but remind myself to eat. My dad was grilling steaks tonight and Im not even on mushies yet, so I did chew on a few pieces of steak and spit them out, for the flavor, and then had a Protein Shake.< /p>

Hey everybody!

My first post-op appointment was today. I started the pre-op diet on March 19. Since then, which has been 20 days, I lost 18 lbs! I looked at some notes from a year ago, and saw that it took me 17 days to lose 5.8 lbs. I'm ecstatic that I had this surgery!!!! They gave me the soft/mushies food stage today, which will last two weeks before I go back to the doctor and get the next food stage. Tonight I had a half pita, split in half. On top of it, appx 2 oz of lean meat and reduced fat shredded cheese. I put the pita in the pan (deli meat and cheese on top) and heated it up in lemon juice until the cheese melted. Afterwards, I topped the fake half sandwich with 2 Tbsp of salsa. It had a good taste. I'm surpised it filled me up. Never would have thought....
