I am 2.5 weeks post;Eating too much? Long-termers help.

I am about 17 days post and have been on a pureed diet (ok'd by doc)for over one week. I am trying to get in protein and eat the following: 6oz of orange juice - early am, one hard boiled egg and 1/2 eng. muffin w/a bit of Peanut butter for breakfast (My doctor said I could puree it in my mouth:), for lunch- 1/2 cup smashed potato (15 potato chips) and about one hour later a small slice of pound cake (my first "sweet"). I figured from fitday.com that it was around 700 calories for just that. I will have a very light supper. I stop when I feel full and have recently stopped drinkly liquids with my meals (as they just wash away). I have been able to eat one slice of cheese pizza this week. I also feel fine, no nausea, no vomiting. I am a lightweight and down so far 23lbs. I am starting on Procell once it arrives at my home this week. I had the surgery to be normal; to eat many types of foods (including some carbs) without having to resort to "fat-free, sugar free" stuff. I just hope to eat much smaller portions. I eventually hope to work up to a veg-fruit/protein diet with an occasional potato chip or slice of cake. Has anyone who is long-term been able to eat like myself and still lose weight permenantly? t
