Normal food at last

I had a call from the dietician today after I emailed her about my struggles with the half cup over 20 min thing. Trudy (God love her) allowed me to go ahead and have some regular food and see how I go. So now I can use a small entree plate to eat meals from. I still have to try and string it out for 20 mins. I can slowly introdce toast and lavosh bread. I can now have crackers and lean meats. No more puree - yippie!!! I thought I was going mad before. To help me trudy has also sent me a beginners eating plan. My next Doctors appointment is monday and I am sweating on a fill becuase I just have far too much freedome at the moment for my own good. I wish I was one of those peoplem that feels restricted straight away but I'll have to wait for my fill.

Today I ate:

3/4 cup cereal with skim milk

coffee

350g greek yoghurt

small latte

small plate of chicken, vegies and goats cheese

coffee

banana

water water water

small plate of pumpkin & goats cheese ravioli.

Hi, I am with you on the timing thing. I have become such a clock watcher! If I sit down to eat and there isnt a clock with a minute hand I panic . You should try clock watching...I count a minute between bites and 35/45 if I'm starving LOL. If you have a clock there it's like it wont allow you to eat. It's working for me, but it aint easy :biggrin:)))))))))))))
