YEAH! No more liquid!

Hi Everyone! I had my 4 week post-op appointment and have been approved to move on to the soft food stage. I asked my doctor when I can start a regular diet and he said that the soft food stage is really just a regular diet just chew really, really well and be careful with meat and bread. I'm so HAPPY not to have to drink broth anymore!!! I had my KFC mashed potatoes right after my appointment and they were sooooo good. Tonight I had a little baked carrot and potato, and a few small bites of kielbasa. YUMMY! So far my tummy seems to be fine with it. And to top it all off, I am down 25 pounds since surgery and a total of 35 pounds with my pre-surgery diet. I'm so excited for all of us, this is such an awsome journey!! Julia

Welcome to the next phase. 25 post surgery and 35 all toggether is awesome. Your doing great. I love KFC mashed potatoes. I think I need to try them again. I haven't had em since way before my surgery. Keep up the great work... Shannon

Thank you Shannon! How are you feeling? Are you doing better with your eating and keeping things down? I hope so. Julia

Congrats Keep up the good work. It feels great to start on regular foods.
