Learning Again

As so many of us mention on this site, it is a journey. You must stay focused and really listen to your body. As many of you know, I had a second fill and had found it very difficult the first several days to keep anything down. However, I did manage to get it all figured out. I must eat the bites SUPER small. I need to eat super slow. That means I must take a small bite, chew it 30 times, and then wait a while until my next bite. I warned my family that it will take me a lot longer to eat a meal with them. Also, I need to make sure when I introduce a new food to proceed even slower to ensure that I am able to eat it. Prior to my second fill I could eat bread. However, I was pretty much staying away from most carbs. So, it has not been too difficult giving that up entirely. The funny thing through all of this is that my weight has maintained and not gone down. I truly feel it is because I wasn't getting enough calories. My doctor did say that this could happen. However, I must stay the course and keep on walking and journaling my protein and food. :smile2:
