Did I really have gastric bypass???
3 weeks out and I feel GREAT (like Tony the tiger).
Had my NUT followup, doing fine. advanced to stage 5 this week (per md instructions since stage 4 went extremely well)
I really missed the chewing. Still taking in my greek yogurt (cause I LOVE it) but all of my food intake is chewed really well. Some fullness but no vomiting......yet.
My favorite food so far......watermelon. It was so good I went back to the market and bought 2 more!! My kids help eat it too.
I bought a scale but I'm not happy with it, it's not very consistant (I KNOW I didn't gain 4lbs overnight). I figure I'll have to wait til my dr appt on the 19th and then when I go back to work on 7/5 (I trust the hospital scale we use).
Here's to a slimmer summer!!!

congrats!
Scales are not your friend. we do fluctuate in weight throughout the day/week/month and it makes a person crazy.
Chewing is such a great thing we take for granted. When I was cleared for solids, I went home and made "cracker pizza". A month of pizza commercials and pureed food led me to buy crackers, low fat cheese and tomato sauce to make tiny little pizzas in the toaster oven for a meal. YUM.
Just remember to do protein first. Watermelon is good, but probably counts more towards your water intake!
