Guest guest Posted August 13, 2000 Report Share Posted August 13, 2000 yes I have added some...but still mainly on liquids...went to a wedding and had a couple of cheese and crackers for the appetizers...chewed til they were mush..lol and for dinner they had a buffet and I had a piece of chicken breast which I ate maybe half..again chewing it to death and some green beans , and a tiny square of veggie lasagne which I ate maybe 3 little bites..and again I chewed and chewed and chewed til my jaws hurt. but I tolerated it all very well....the rest of the day I had liquids and broth....Ive not had any food intolerances so far, today I even had some mashed potatoes and a little slice of pot roast at my moms...did well so far with that as well. I dont think Im pushing it as Im 3 weeks but I actually felt ready..and wanted to try it...but still the mainstay of my meals are the juices and broths so far.. you will be there soon... take your time and enjoy your weight loss Jeanne W --- angiesangels@... wrote: > Have you started to add in solid foods,yet and if > so,what and how have you handled them so far.Can you > > tell that I'm so ready for what I call some real > food.Ha! > I'm a big meat eater and I've never went this long > without eating meat.I'm counting the days!Ha!Ha!I'll > > look for your posts so keep me updated as well.Bye > and > take care.
