It was torture!!! Absolute Torture!!!

Okay, I hope that got your attention!

Yesterday, I went with my little boy on a field trip to a farm for strawberry picking.  We took a tractor ride through the fields and every so often, the driver would stop and pull some vegetables for us to eat and take home.  We're talking organic carrots, onions, snap peas, romaine lettuce.  Then we stopped at the strawberry fields and helped the little ones pick strawberries to put in a contained, plus we could eat some right in the field.

Why would yummy, fresh from the garden vegetables that are good for you to be torture?  I'm only 3 weeks out and on soft foods!  I admit, I took a tiny and I mean tiny nibble of the carrot and snap pea - very tiny, chewed to oblivion, so sweet, so yummy.  Then in the strawberry fields, I took some small, tiny bites of the strawberries, they were sooooooooo good.  But, I was very careful on the size of the bites.  Trust me, I was very mindful of what I was doing.

But, who knew I could get so jealous of my 4 yo chewing his carrot down to the green stems!  We had a great time and I definitely want to go back in the summer when they have watermelon tours!!

Too funny!!  That sounds like it was alot of fun!! Guess what I crave? Not cake, not soda, not fried chicken - I crave salad!!  Thank God I can finally eat them!! 

Sounds like you did a great job, and had a fun day with your child.   It is funny when the 4 year old can eat more than you.  It is okay and so worth it,  in the long run.  The watermelon tour sounds like something really fun to look forward to.  I wish we had something like that around here. 
You are doing great,  keep up the good work and you will be able to eat a whole strawberry again one day.  LOL............

Great story!   Anyone know how long after vert. sleeve you can eat a salad?  I haven't ventured much beyond soft or cooked veggies and worry about the roughage in spinach, my favorite greens.

I know!!! I still have trouble eating some raw veggies.  I love enamone (spelling has to be wrong, sorry) and I died, when I ate that. Oranges, raw carrots, ugh....I have to stay away from them.  The only thing that seems ok for me are berries and iceburg lettuce!
