Week 5 was both a positive and a negative. First for the positives, I finally lost more weight. I am not around 262-264 lbs. It varies, but based on what my personal experience, walking for 45 min - 1 hr a day. I am going to start working out more after I get back to normal meals.
The negative is that I tried to eat some soft flaky fish. It was a horrible experience. I ate 3 bites, and my esophagus felt like it was full. My stomache felt horrible. I tried to use the bathroom but ended up throwing up. I had foamy vomit and spit up some blood. I kept throwing up for 3-4 hours and could not eat or drink anything as I would throw it back up. I went back to full liquids but was able to eat bean and vegtable chili again (Amy's black bean chili is actually really good). I am going to try pureed / soft meat again next weekend at week 6. Make sure you advance your diet slowly and like your doctor and nutritionist say try stuff at home first. Also, based on everything i've read, take very small bites and take your time to eat. It may seem hard to do but trust me you do not want to experience throwing up every single thing in your stomache and throwing up stomache acid for a few hours.
I am getting hungry if I eat at weird times. I have been eating sugar free gello or tapioca in case I feel light headed or super hungry. I mostly eat 16 oz of milk + protien shakes in the morning, 8 oz soup for lunch, and a 8 oz soup for dinner. BTW those Campbell's V8 soups are awesome. I've been pureeing them until last weekend, but now I can eat them unpureed. I am still not eating anything chunky like chunky soup.
