Saw the surgeon yesterday for my first post-op appointment. He's very pleased with my progress, and put me up to stage 3 - mushies. I will not be eating the cream of wheat Cereal, the applesauce, or the mashed potatoes, since I'm a low-carber by choice. But I am going to see how I do on the cottage cheese, poached egg, and pureed meat. Slowly, with a baby spoon, putting my spoon down after each tiny bite, and getting each bite to the right consistency. This is similar to the Band, so the reduced food volume hasn't come as a shock. But I can't tell when I've had enough.
Does that sound crazy? How do you know?
