3 Week Visit with the Dietien!!

Got my new program for the next couple of months.  I learned a lot from my dietien today. Went grocery shopping with my new food list..........it was fun!!  Tonight we made 3 oz. turkey burgers and they were heavenly!!  I had 1/4 c. cooked carrots and 1/4 c. crushed pineapple (only ate half, I was full!)  It was such a pleasure to spend 30 minutes eating food again!!  I am comfortably happy..............and no problems with chewing and swallowing!! Awesome!!!

 That is awesome, Holly! I have not been hungry, yet, but, miss the act of eating-especially over the holiday weekend.  Sounds like you had a great doctor's visit!! Congratulations for moving on to food! 

Thanks!!  After all the problems I had eating with the lapband I have to admit I was nervous tonight eating my turkey burger..........but I took my time and enjoyed every bite!!  Awesome!!

I go see my Dietician next Wednesday. I will be a day shy of being three weeks out. I would LOVE for them to tell me that I can have turkey burgers, but the next stage for me is pureed for two weeks. I don't get a mushy diet until week 5.

Glad everything went well for you today. I cannot wait to be able to eat real food again!

Did your nutritionist recommend 6 small meals a day or 3 regular meals a day ? Mine told me 1000 calories a day, only 3 meals and no snacks. I know many that do the 6 small meals a day. Just curious what you were told.
