Update on "too tight?"

[lovekatz1975 1]

Thursday and Friday I did my liquids all day. Saturday and Sunday I had my pureed/mushies.

I had eggs for Breakfast both days - if I ate 1 whole egg, that was a lot. Saturday's egg went down fine, Sundays I felt stuck but it went down.

I tried broccoli bread on Saturday, threw up 6 times (3 times had food in it, the rest was just thick stuff that looked like spit). Went and got my pineapple juice, almost instantly felt better. I had a about 1/3 of a bowl of Soup later on that night and again felt like I was getting stuck. Drank more pineapple juice, felt better.

Sunday I had some creamed spinach in the afternoon and the remainder of my soup from the night before. Felt good. Sunday night I went to the diner and had a few bites of smashed up meatballs (with extra sauce) and sauteed spinach. Got stuck after I ate the spinach. Brought that up, felt better, drank some pineapple juice and felt 100% better.

Starting today (Monday), I'm back on solids. I had 2 turkey sausages and oatmeal for breakfast. Chewed the sausages really well, felt fine after. The oatmeal was really watery, so it went down great.

I'm guessing that I have REALLY good restriction, and I have to chew A LOT more and make better decisions on what to eat. Broccoli bread is DEFINITELY out of the question. So is spinach.

It's wierd to have such a little amount of food fill me up.

Katz, what you are experiencing is good restriction. Try and stick to just a couple oz of lean Protein followed by a vegie. 2 sausauges is about all I can eat as well. Good luck.

Thank you!! Glad to have someone confirm to me that I'm not too tight!

Katz, there are 2 types of too tight. Too tight to liquids and too tight to solids. If you are tight to liquids that is bad. If you are tight to solids and don't mind softer food and can still lose you may be okay. If you can consume 1-3 oz of Protein without a problem you should be okay. In my case, it takes me really eating a softer diet to lose. I hope this helps.
