Early Christmas dinner confession
Christmas happens to be day fourteen of my fourteen day full liquid diet... I confess now I am going to eat SOMETHING for Christmas dinner, it will be healthy and it will be mushy but food will pass my lips even it's an egg and cheese scramble! I give in to the temptation of chewing!

that day fifteen timing blows the 26th really? Lol I've already got mushy stuff today from the store like cream soup tuna and gouda cheese slices! Which have 7 grams of protein a slice! 
Just please be safe in what you choose and how much you put on your plate. I would only recommend putting 1/4 of a cup at most of something really soft and mushie and eating VERY slowly taking bites the size of a pencil eraser. Chew your food about 30 times or so before swallowing and really take it easy. I guess I am especially concerned because it's going to be Christmas and you might not be able to get a hold of your doctor if you will need him. Your staple line has not healed yet and you have to be so very, very careful. I am sure you already know all this, but this is just a friendly reminder to take it way easy. Merry Christmas to you and I hope your first taste of food is as wonderful as you imagine it to be.
Merry Christmas to you also. 
Yeah Elina has a good point. I'm sure you'll be careful. But, don't let the Christmas spirit run away with you.
Oh and be ready to be a little disappointed. I started the regular diet a few days before Thanksgiving and found that the denser foods (meats especially) didn't love me as much as I love them for the first few days. I ended up going back to mushies for a few days and kind of bringing in the denser meats more slowly.
Mushies should be fine, but if they don't feel good have aprotein shake handy.
I never threw up, but it's no fun feeling ick on a special day.

Only my opinion.......take it ....leave it....what ever......
I'd say show some strength.....healing is much more important than a Christmas meal......
I would focus on how next Christmas is going to be 100lbs. gone !!!
Happy Holidays!

I agree with Frisco....I was 7 months out and still dealing with a leak and had to skip Christmas dinner!... It didn't kill me! Nor did the leak!! (Hehe)..Just enjoy the family and friends and al the joys along with this season! There will be lots of holidays!!
