Know Your Body

Oct 11, 2013

Today was my first follow up appointment with my surgeon whom I absolutely love. I was kind of disappointed that he wouldn't let me progress 3 days early onto pureed foods. Every time I turn around they (doc, nutritionist) they say to learn your body and what it likes and how it responds to food and being full. Well, conversely, shouldn't I also know my body when it's ready for the next step?! I have had no problems with any foods, I've even put shredded cheese in my soups, and blended chunky soups down to creamy consistencies that had meat & potatoes in it and I've been completely fine. If every body is different, shouldn't every body be different in when they're ready to progress? I know I'm complaining, and I only have 3 days more until I'm officially 2 weeks post-op, but my goodness! I need a change
