Message: <blockquote data-quote="helen louise" data-source="post: 320841" data-attributes="member: 41094">Thank you for all the good wisheslast sunday morning I weighed 106.1 & this morning I weigh 101.6 so a loss of 4.5kg (9.9lbs) thats likely to slow down now as I am now able to eat food with more substance from today,For 7 days or so after being discharged I was able to drink pretty much anything as long as it was thin enough to be sucked up a straw, so it was water/tea/coffee/protein shakes/cup a soup (no bits) the first few days it was fine but I must admit once I got to thurs/friday I was fed up with it, I am not a fan of soup but ended up drinking it as I wanted something savoury,Today I start a new eating phase which means I can eat things that are a bit thicker, everything I consume now has to be blended so that it resembles baby food puree, I am making a chilli in the slow cooker today which I intend to blend down for tonights dinner, not sure I will bother with blending any rice as I need to keep my protein levels up, I need approx 60-80gms of protein a day, less than that can cause hair thinning etc a couple of protein shakes will give me around 2/3 of that so as long as I eat a protein rich meal I should be ok, my appetite has now returned & I can eat almost a whole mug of soup before feeling full which is a sign that my stomach is no longer swollen   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
