Soft Food Stage
Oct 01, 2009
Today is the first day of my soft food stage. I can't lie. The night before I did eat one of the items off my soft food list though. I figured I made it the whole week on this clear liquid stage one small item wouldn't hurt. I know I was wrong, but I'm not going to beat myself up. I'm still in awe of how fast I feel full. I mean I had a little(and I mean little) bit of tuna, light mayo & cheese today for dinner, and honey I was full. I had an hard boiled egg for a snack. For breakfast & lunch, I ate a Healthy Choice turkey, mashed potato & butternut squash/cranberry meal. Of course, I had to mush everything to chunky applesauce consistency, but it was still tasty. I was too full to eat a snack between breakfast & lunch so I didn't. I made sure I focused on getting foods that had a good volume of protein. I had about 38g protein today. I just didn't have room for a protein shake like the NUT wants. Maybe tomorrow...Okay. Here's another confession. I haven't started my multi-vitamin yet. I have been taking my calcium and sub-lingual b12. Once again, I'm not going to beat myself up. I am just going to try harder as the next day passes.
Through my whole 10 days post op, I feel like I am just skating by. That I could always be doing something more to ensure my success. I don't know. I am so scared to jump on a scale because , one, I feel like it's too early &, secondly, I am afraid that the scale will show no difference. I don't own a scale anyway. I'll just wait to get weighed at my first post op doctor appointment.
