I know that baby food is simply blended food (plus whatever other supplements the company might add) but there is something about the thought of eating that, that just grosses me out. I can't get there in my head. And using a blender on regular foods seems to disgust me too. Maybe its the look and consistency of it when its done. I guess I'm going to have to be a fork masher and super chewer...

Baby food is actually high in calories and carbs. It is intended to fatten-up those bambino's! I don't know if you've ever tasted baby food but .......YUCK! There is no way I could ever eat that stuff. Just stick with the basic high Protein food choices and use the blender or food processor. My first pureed food was Wendy's chili run through the processor. It was delicious- but go slow it won't take but a couple of teaspoons to fill you up! Just make sure you add some type of moisture (broth or marinade) to your meats so they aren't dry- remember moist goes down better.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
