feeling good, just missin food.

I am feeling pretty good, but I have to say that I miss food.  Today is Football Day in my house and my MIL is over here cooking up a bunch of yummy food (she is staying with us for 2 weeks to help me out).  I keep telling myself that I really don't want that food...  my clothes are already fitting better and Ihave just today started on full liquids.  I am going to have some strained soup and pretend its fried fish ;-)

I hope everyone is doing great and I wish us all perserverence in this journey.

Hi Jodie!! 

I know how you feel. For the first time yesterday we went to a kids party at a restaurant, The Magic Time Machine here in Dallas & the food looked sooo delicious and smelled. I started mushy food but there really wasn't much to choose from. So my hubby ordered steak & salmon. Plus didn't know how much I'd be able to eat!! Well to tell you I had 2 tablespoons of the Salmon & maybe a teaspoon of green beans from my husbands plate & I was done. And felt good too!!  Stick with it..Liquids were so easy for me b/c I knew what I had to eat. Now I really have to think about it & look online for suggestions.

Good luck to you!!

I know how you feel. Got to watch my family dive into sandwiches and pizza at the mall on Saturday. I decided to go walk around the mall instead.

I've got to figure out how I'm gonna get through at family dinner this Friday without having to tell them all about the surgery. There should be mashed potatoes, so I'll probably stick to that.

I just keep telling myself that it's only for a month or two (depending on how long it takes to get to regular food after the next two weeks of mushies).

I am right there with you. I didn't realize how hard the head hunger part of it was going to be. I am so hungry and am tired of liquids. I can't wait to get some mushy food in my mouth!

I hear ya!  I was sleeved on Monday and feeling great.  Mom is staying with me to help out and her and my hubby still have to eat.  It is hard to smell it and EVERYTHING in this society is about food!  Every channel, every commercial.  No wonder I was fixated on food. 

I wish everyone luck on here.
