K, I'm getting grumpy about food now. I did so well for 4 weeks and now I just want to eat real food. I am not eating/drinking enough and have lost too much weight. I'm so done with this liquid puree diet. 2 more weeks until real food!

mountaingirl, I know exactly how you feel. I too am 4 weeks post op today and am so over soup and pureed food. I can't wait to get my teeth into something chewy. My kids have toast every morning and I just sit there staring at them while they eat. My daughter (bless her dear soul) asked me if I would like her to go to her room and eat so that I don't get "jealous". I am getting sick of porridge and wheat bix for breakfast. I must admit when I am feeling down I indulge in a nice large bowl of ice cream with lots of yummy hot chocolate sauce. It always makes me feel so much better and its something I can at least enjoy with the whole family.

I just got my heavy duty bands off on Tuesday, and have my splint in still, and where my jaws were shut tight for 4 weeks, I can still open my jaw just a little bit, so I'm still stuck on liquids only!! It's brutal.

Last night I stared longingly at my husband's bowl of pasta, and he told me it didn't taste very good; I know he did that only to make me feel better because it smelled divine!
