First Day on Mushies

jsm · December 1, 2009

I am two weeks post-op today. Although my weight is not moving as fast as I would have hoped, it is moving down (always a good sign).

Today was my first day on mushies. For lunch I ate one of those individual cans of premade tuna salad. It tasted so good to be chewing food! However, I think I ate a little too fast. I wasn't quite full, and decided to eat a SF pudding. Mistake. I wasn't hurting, but could feel that it was too much. Next time I will eat the tuna slowly, and skip the pudding.

Hugs,

JoAnne

I remember how good it tasted to have something to actually chew. It also took me a good long while to learn to slow down and recognize my full signal, so you are ahead of me there. Congratulations on graduating to a new food phase!

Congrats JoAnne - I know you must be so happy to actually be able to CHEW ... the "full" feeling is a work in progress and you will have good days and bad ... just learn to listen to your body and you'll figure it all out!

Fantastic ideas on pureed foods....process them a bit less and they'd be just mushies!

Thanks all. I'm having some issues with mushies. My stomach will hurt for about an hour after I eat. My stomach makes loud noises and I'm getting some wicked gas. I can clear a room! Is this normal?

I've been working from home, thank goodness. However, I will need to go back to the office shortly. If I don't get this worked out, I'm not going to be fun to be around.

Any help or suggestions?

Hugs,

JoAnne
