LOL Maria -- I hope I feel as good as you after surgery! I think as long as your tummy is happy, then you shouldn't need to worry. You're lucky though...my doc requires liquids for about 2 weeks before we can move on to pureed food, then soft food, and finally reg. food. But thats ok, he knows best You probably need to take into consideration that when the doc cut on your stomach, he probably cut some nerves too so you may not have certain feelings. I've heard of that happening???? Probably why you were able to eat the whole thing of pintos because you didn't "feel" full with a lesser amount????? I dunno....but I think you're doing great! Have you started any exercise yet?? Congratulations on the 11lbs! *hugs* april
