SweetSaso 92 Posted November 23, 2012 Good Morning everyone! I am 16 days out, and havent weighed myself for a week now because i was told to PUT THE scale AWAY, lmao ( not weighing myself has made me less depressed more positive)... Anyhow, yesterday i cooked some meat&pasta with Tomato sauce/broth for my husband and i wanted to test how my body reacts to food now. I ate about a 1/4 a cup of Pasta with the broth (only about two strings of pasta with some meat) and ate using a baby spoon chewing as much as i can.. well i expected some discomfort but nothing more than a bit of gas/burping that i have been experiencing since post surgery after i put anything in my mouth... (Anyone else has experiences something like this too?). I am proud i can tolerate real food but on the downside i only eat once a day, and sometimes i remember to eat 2 times, but when i eat twice a day i feel guilty and i feel like i ate more than i should and i fall into depression ( I want to lose weight... working on that ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vidalia 122 Posted November 23, 2012 I am 2 weeks post-op today. Yesterday for lunch I ate turkey, dressing, squash casserole, green Beans, sweet potatoes, jellied cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes with gravy. I had mostly about 1 oz of turkey and about 1 or 2 tiny bites of the others out of my toddler fork. Then I ate 1 bite of pumpkin pie filling for dessert. It was all delicious and I was full but not sick. I repeated this meal for supper. I have not tried any Pasta or beef yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are only going to sabotage yourself eating so little. Do you drink any Protein shakes? You really need to put more into your body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Dean* 1,594 Posted November 23, 2012 Hey - we had surgery on the same day. Congratulations! I think you need to try and eat more frequently. We're hammering our metabolism already, no need to make it slower by infrequent eating. Today I had Breakfast - 1 egg scrambled Mid morn - Cappucino with 90mls of milk lunch - 70g savoury mince and a few slices of carrot well cooked Mid afternoon - Protien shake dinner - Same as lunch! I'm sure you'll be really happy on weigh day. All the best, Dean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
