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?

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!

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!

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!

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!
