Pureed Stage
Jul 15, 2010
So I started my Pureed Stage on Tuesday (was supposed to be Monday, but I chickened out).Says you should eat 4 oz 2-3 times a day. Well my first day, I started very slow. For "lunch" (5pm... that's the earliest I got the nerve up to actually eat) I had 2 tblsp cottage cheese with a little salt. It was so weird to be eating again. I felt like I was doing something wrong. That sat fine on my wittle belly so for dinner I ate 2 oz of refried beans with LF chedder melted and mixed. And a few shakes of salt (I'm really hoping I'll never have to give up my salt). Did ok.
Wednesday - I ate 2 oz of cottage cheese. I have to tell you, it didn't taste as good the second time around. I NEVER ate cottage cheese, so maybe it's because it was more that I remembered why I hated it. Blech. I then had my 2 oz Refried Beans with the melted cheese again for dinner. Did fine.
So, today (Thursday), I decided to get a little braver and do my Refried Beans with cheese for lunch, but do 4 oz. Um.. yeah.... no. I didn't hurl, but I gotta tell you the taste of it made my mouth water... and I'm not talkin in a good way... I'm talkin the way your mouth waters right before you barf. Tonight I wasn't going to eat anything because of my lunch experience, but I really need to get up to eating 3 times a day. So tonight I heated up some Roast Beef Hash (2.9 oz) and then added Green Beans to make it 4 oz. I put it in the skillet and mushed the Green Beans in with the Hash and added a tsp of Beef Gravy to moisten it all. I have to tell you.... it's good. I'm not even half way done though. So if the mouth starts watering again, I'll know that I'm just not ready for 4 oz and I'll take it down to 3.
I very much miss being able to drink while I'm eating though. Especially when the Cottage Cheese and Refried Beans made me a lil woozy because just having the taste in my mouth for 30 min was pure torture.
