FRANCIE Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I thought September 8th would never get here...Praise God. Three weeks on liquids was pure hell. The good new is I have lost 14 pounds since surgery and I actually feel good. I can actually slip my jeans down without unbuttoning them. I figure this will be a great party trick!! haha Couple of questions...What foods should I start with? I'm kinda scared about the burp thing! Also, I have read alot on this forum about restriction and I wonder....why does restriction come and go?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saylor Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hey Francie, Last night I had a homemade chicken salad, (cucumbers, tomatoes bell peppers out of my garden) and white wine. It was great. Normally I would have eaten about 4 times more than I did. I did not feel full, however satisfied. What did you have for breakfast? How is Sheri doing? Is she reading the forum?

FRANCIE Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hi Saylor! I'm doing great. This morning for breakfast I had cheese grits. Yummy. I had about one cup and I am still full. I am finding that I get full very fast and its lasting a long time. I think the hardest part is the "no drinking while you eat" rule. My teeth feel so dirty and as a former dental hygenist that is really getting on my nerves. Sheri is doing great. I told her about this forum but I don't know if she gets on it or not. We have scheduled a fill in Dallas on September 29th. Sheri has lost eight pounds and she thinks her band isn't "working" but she just needs to get a new attitude. haha Keep me posted on your progress!

ackovach Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hey, My first meal was a small wendys chili. I was so full afterwards. And it was awesome. Then I worked my way up to grouper at PappaDeaux. It was awesome too and I no problems with it either. I gag on too much bread. Don't try that anytime soon. It was very painful. Until just recently, lots of stuff kind of hurt going down. I think it could also be because of the hiatal hernia repair. I have not had a fill yet, but my intake is some much smaller than before. I have a really hard time with chicken and beef except hamburger meat. I eat fish all the time. I am getting into a grove with it. Strange though, tuna fish salad give me a stuck feeling. It could be because I can not chew it very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
