in Introduce Yourself
Hi,

I just joined myfitnesspal today, and I have to say that the tools seem very helpful. I need to lose about 20 pounds, but I had gum surgery last week. As a result I have been on a liquid diet, and starting tomorrow I can add soft food to my diet. However, it will be a month before I can actually eat solid food again. I thought this website would help me to make sure I'm getting enough calories, protein, and fats while I'm on this restricted diet. This is forcing me to shrink my stomach, which is good, but I don't want to gain the weight back when I can start eating again.

I just want to thank everyone in advance for their support in my weight loss journey. I wish all of you success in your own weight loss endeavors.

    Good luck - I just joined 5-4 and have a long way to go. Can you eat yogurts and stuff to help keep your calories up?

    So far I've been able to have Ensure, Slimfast, and smoothies. I can't have anything yet that requires utensils.

    Good thinking signing up with the site, and good luck on your journey. :smile: It is not easy, but way to use the gum surgery to start your journey, and making sure it is done the healthy way.
