No wonder babies cry...

Jul 14, 2011

 Turns out baby food is disgusting.  I honestly thought I was being crafty, I found some organic packs of baby food, low in sugar and with enticing names like "pasta and lentil bolognase", and thought "Oh, I can mix that with a scoop of unflavored protein and it'll be good to go."  So this morning, I tried that.

Holy mother, that is nasty.  Not having kids myself I've never really been around the stuff, but I didn't realize that baby food is just.. tasteless mush.  So, that was one idea down the tubes. One bite and I tossed it, and after rummaging through the fridge decided to make 1/4 cup of egg substitute, mixed with two slices of turkey bacon chopped up really small.  Mixed that with salsa and avocado, and it was so good. My stomach may be tiny now, but my taste buds ain't broke, you know?

I'm only 2 weeks out, and just moving into pureed and some soft foods. I'm having some mental troubles moving over to actual food rather than relying on protein shakes. Honestly, though, I think the linchpin of my protein are the Isopure drinks (not the smoothies, mind you, as they have too much sugar for my tastes). 40g of protein in 20 oz, and takes a huge chunk out of my requirement for the day,

Stayed home from work today because I'm still having pains in my side. I only took one week off work, and made it through the beginning of the week, but I think I hit the wall. So glad I have a standing desk at work at least so I don't have to sit all day, though. Hopefully these side pains will stop, it hadn't bothered me for a few days but came back, making me take pain meds for the first time in a week. 

Did anyone else have trouble mentally moving on to "real" foods?  I'm so scared I'm going to eat "too much" just by eating anything at all.  I know that's not really rational, and I don't think I've made any bad choices thus far. I think hiding my scale, although it frustrates the hell out of me sometimes not being able to weigh, may have been for the best. Not being so hooked on the numbers quells my crazies.

I can't believe tomorrow will be 2 weeks since surgery. I can't believe this actually happened. I'm determined to do right by this.
