Yeah I have been indulging in miso soup...it has bits of seaweed and tofu. At first I was like should I straing this? But then I decided that tofu is protein too right? Anywho everyday gets easier I hope...

All I can say is THANK GOD FOR FUDGESICLES!!!!!!! My doc had them on pre op liquid diet as well as post op so when I get that urge to chew, I have a fudgesicle. My only bad has been when I get veggie soup, I test the carrots and if they are almost mush, I go ahead and turn them to mush in my mouth and swallow with the liquid. Not perfect, but works for me so far.

Topic: tomorrow is 10 days and I get my staples out
In this time I've only noticed a tiny bit of head hunger. I'm proud to say that even the commercials for all the things I used to love don't make me crazy with cravings. That is BIG thing in my book.
I've been out to lunch with several folks and nothing made me think I wanted to cheat - I had my soup and water and was perfectly fine. I'm trying to stay active and I think that is a big part of it.
this coming weekend is a friends Birthday / Crawfish Boil (she is from Louisiana but lives here in CA now) so I'm going to have some mashed taters and a tiny taste of crawfish salad (think tuna salad) since I'll be able to eat by then. Yea for all of us May Flowers.
How are you all doing? Anyone hitting any little goals - even those you did not think you had?

Yes ma'am, totally liquid and it is getting better day by day but still that head hunger is a biotch! Oh well almost one week down!! YAY ME!
Topic: RE: Surgery 5/26/2010 liquid diet...
you are totally liquid? my dr said to just eat protein, tuna, chicken, etc, the liquid will be after. I am not having a hard time today, i thought about food a little but I got over it, I think I just get a little thought of food then bam! I make it happen, its time to just let those thoughts be thoughts, great job on the diet, my dr changed my date to wed and I wasnt supposed to start my 2 week diet til tues so if that happens to you, then you will be all ready.
