Seen my surgeon today

Well as it states, I did see my doctor today. For those of you who read my previous posts, about me cheating, well, he was upset with me, but, he encouraged me, enough to start anew with no regrets, he also took tests to see if any current damages were done. And good to know none were done. Im back on track and back on the mushy diet. And will be for 3 weeks. However, there is a down side to this, I gained 6lbs, but, I feel that a lot of this is Water, since Im so close to my monthly. And usually I retain a lot of water. But, IM ok guys, he really wanted me to follow the rules to a t. And I am. No more cheating, and lots and lots of chewing. Tonight, I had, green Beans mushed up, kinda good, had, soft Pasta salad, tuna salad 1 scoop. And surprisingly, I was full after chewing for so long. I just have to fight the hunger that Im having right now, and Im doing that with more Protein. I had my 2 Protein Shakes today. And had yogart with protein in it. It was filling. And lots and lots of water. Today, I felt tired. But, I did walk, move around a bit at work, and tried to stay active. Im very happy with myself. One day at a time, Im going to do this. I will have my first fill on the 23rd.

My doctor told me that it was totally normal to gain weight, and I didnt gain a lot, since most is water. Im laying off high sodium too.

Any suggestions for foods on this mushy stage is welcome. I bought a book about weight loss surgery, and in it, there is a cook book for life. Maybe I will take some time, to look at a few of the recipes. But, please let me know of some good MUSHY foods, I would so appreciate it. Thanks all for sticking with me.

My favorite mushy food is to take some ricotta cheese and spoon out a thick layer on the bottom of a pyrex dish or whatever container you want to use. Spread some jar spaghetti sauce on top of that and then sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top of it all. Bake it until hot or put under the broiler if you can keep an eye on it. It tastes almost like lasagna. I love it!

good for you! all we can do is take it one day, one step at a time! we're all gonna mess up and have bad days, so don't beat yourself up too much. We're all human!

As far as recipes go, I did mashed potatoes, campbells select Soups (portobellos mushroom was my fave), Beans, cottage cheese with canned peaches, steamed veggies (esp zuchinni and squash w/a little seasoning)
