What I Ate On Vacation (Sleeved July 2Nd)

I am just back from a day night date with my hubby!! We went to Fredricksburg, TX for some fun, relaxation, shopping and FOOD! I was really worried how this was going to go....

First day there - we went to Mamacita's for lunch. He ordered the crispy taco plate and been and cheese nachos. I ate one taco (shredded beef and cheese with hotsauce) and half of a nacho! It was wonderful, tasty and I was stuffed! He ate the rest plus 2 beers and several beautiful home made tortillas!!

For dinner - we went to a great German restaruant - and he had the Schnitzel Kase, and I was dismayed to see very little I could eat. I settle on the Klopse meat balls (beef and pork) and of course it came with a huge pile of buttered noodles and saurkraut. The meat balls were in a caper dill sauce - and there were 2 about 3 oz each - so I plopped the other on his plate and set in. Big problem - the meat ball had a lot of bread filling in it. I ate about 3/4 of it - and could feel it EXPAND in my belly. Luckily, we did a lot of walking afterwards, and 30 min. after - I started back with my Water - so no pain!

We slept in the next day, so hit town about 11. He had a hpme made burger plate - I had half an order of quiche Lorraine - yum! Dinner that night was another German place - he had schnitzel, I had an appetizer called German Rueben rolls. Basically, 2 egg rolls made with corned beef, swiss cheese and saurkraut - with thousand island dipping sause! I ate almost all of it - super good!

We did buy some Amish cheese we snacked on in our B&B that night, and I feel like I really didn't miss out on the food end....and don't feel bad about myself. I know I probably didn't hit my 60g of Protein, but I will be back on track tomorrow and have fish and shrimp thawing in my sink!

I was really worried about the "enjoying" food aspect after this surgery. I have to pay more attention, but do not feel deprived at all. I am so thankful!!!!

  • I have thick skin - so what some people may consider "negative" comments don't bother me If you look at what I actually consumed in the 2 days there, it isn't bad... I DESCRIBED alot of food, but

    I assumed you're pretty far out- didn't look up your date. I'm just going to say this because of a couple comments here. I called my Dr. because I ate a whole scrambled egg which went down really e

  • Good for you! I think if she was cleared for full diet she did pretty good. A taco, meatball, egg roll and quiche. At a month out I know for certain I had meatballs and quiche. We all know our docs a

My surgeon's plan doesn't have a puréed stage. It goes from full liquids week 2 to soft food week 3, but states to chew it to a purée. Full foods except raw veggies and steak week 5.
