Update
I saw my MD for my post op follow up on Wednesday and as of that day on his scales I have lost 25 pounds. That includes the 2 weeks of preop liquids but I am pleased EXCEPT my swelling must be going down as I can drink without pain now unless I swallow too much and I am HUNGRY now. I have to be careful not to eat too much because I definately want more than 4 oz at a time. I am now on mushies and doing well for the most part except he said I can eat fruit and I didn't chew a peach long enough. I just had a touch of "heartburn". I think I will cut everything up really instead of relying on me to chew it up just right until I get the hang of it.
Thanks for all the support
