Actualy I spoke to my nurtitionist today and aside from the tamales(which she wasn't thrilled about but wasn't like oh that's awful!) she said I was doing ok. She saidthat my surgeon's sleeves tend to be a bit bigger, and that some patients can eat up to 8 oz. in a meal, which I guess is what I was eating. So after I went through the list I posted above, she said my choices were fine, sans the tamales. I guess I chose the tamales becase they are chicken and mushy...but I guess I didn't think about nutritional content...oops. Still learning here! I don't feel so bad now!

Thanks! I'm just so dissappointed, I mean I have lost 20 pounds but I want to keep it going and not screw it up! This is so much harder than I thought it would be! Glad to have this forum!

have I ruined this whole thing already!? I'm seriously bawling here!

what does talk to my doc about my restriction mean? I dont understand that

I was sleeved on 12/19. As far as feeling a restriction I don't know...I mean I used to be able to eat 2-3 times that much in one day. I'm so confused and I don't want to ruin this! I don't understand whyi was able to eat so much! I do notice that I feel full quicker but I'm so confused! I thought I was only going to be able to eat a few bites! I don't know what to do except cry at this point!

so this is what I ate today:(second day of soft foods stage) Protein shake in the early morning 6:30 am 1 pack of grits with one scrambled egg 9:30 am piece of salmon with 3/4 package of broccoli with cheese (you know those ones in the frozen section that are like 60 calories)12:30pm pita chips and hummus 5:00 pm rest of pita chips box and hummus as well as 3 chicken tamales 8:45pm did I eat too much today and is any of this not good to eat? also it did not take me 30 minutes to eat ANY of this! I mean a girl can only chew so long!!! my fear is that I am ruining EVERYTHING already! Any thoughts on my food intake for the day?

it's also at Wal-Mart for a few cents cheaper

the one i bought didnt have any bits of food in it..i just ate some more lol! better go back to target to get another one!

Went to Target today determined to find something besides broth and boy was I surprised! I found some great organic soups! The first one I tried just now and it is AWESOME! It is called Pacific organic roasted red pepper and tomato soup. Just wanted to share!
