My 2nd week of chopped foods!
Dec 21, 2010
it's been interesting! when i went in for my two week surgery follow up, i had lost another 7 pounds!..that was a suprise! i thought i had lost a couple, but not 7!...lol! at this point to date i have lost 64 pounds all together and counting! anyway as i was saying, the chopped food phase is not so bad,certain things will upset my tummy, and it lets me know! if i eat one bite over my fill line, i get so burpy and the gas goes to my shoulder and hurts! so i try to avoid that at all costs! i still prefer the soft stuff, diet oatmeal ect... it just feels better going down!....lol! but i did have a half a teaspoon of stuffing at thanksgiving...it was very tasty! but for the most part i stick to my yogurt and still do my protein drinks to replace a meal, especially at night, it's light and no burping! i stick to a lot of my vegetarian foods also, i try to do meat (chicken and fish) but it's been a while so i'm getting used to it again, i dont have any tightness in my band yet, my first fill is next month, so i've just really been watching what and how much im taking in, i try not to graze,but it's kind of dificult to do over the holidays, so i dont deny myself too much of anything but my rule is, never when i'm "full" from eating or just finished drinking, and dont try to make a meal out of somthing that you should be eating! just a taste or a bite is all i need. and most of the time, the taste is all i want, this is going to sound gross, but i usually end up spitting it out after i"ve chewed it for a minute! i find that i'm only interested in how it tastes, not swallowing!...lol!
