Hi Amy,

I stayed on liquids for the first two weeks and then I started

introducing soft vegetables and salads. At one month I tried eating

fish and shrimp (yummy) and I've tried something new every week since

then. I had my first chicken burrito from Taco Bell yesterday for

lunch. No problem! I've even had chocolate, the small bite-size Three

Musketeers,and one is all I want. I feel like I have so much more

freedom in the foods I eat now because nothing (in moderation) is off

limits. There is no diet mentality and no cravings for certain foods.

I'm not taking any of the protein supplements because I feel I'm

getting enough protein in the foods I eat. I'm definitely taking my

vitamins, the Citucel (yuk) and the Actigall. My goal going into the

surgery was to return to " normal " eating as soon as could and not to

concentrate on the weight loss. If it takes one year or two years, as

long as the scales are moving in the right direction, I'm okay.

Are you pre-op or post-op?
