First Real Food Today!

[LaLa Ladybug 57]

RNY Bypass was 2 weeks ago today. Can't believe how far I've come in just two weeks! My surgeon has food "phases" each lasting two weeks. Phase 1 postop is liquid only (No liquids on day of surgery, Water on 2nd day after upper GI confirming no leaks, & then ease into Protein when possible. Jello, yogurt, and pudding are okay in this phase. Phase 2 is "Very Soft Foods" & that starts today! My first meal is 1/4 of Egg Beaters. Fingers crossed!

1/4 cup Cottage cheese with baby food fruit. Just be careful to watch the sugar content. No more than 7g per jar. You should only use 1/3 to 1/2 the jar for one meal.

Purée low or fat free chili. Wendy's has a healthy chili too.

Went pretty well. I couldn't finish them yesterday. Today I went slower with my small bites and made sure to chew more. Never paid attention to chewing scrambled eggs before. I think I use to chew two or three times & swallow. Not anymore! & yes! I'm definitely a pepper monkey!

The eggs went well yesterday! Although at the end of the night, I calculated out 10g Protein short for the day. Made hot cocoa with skim milk. Feels very wrong to force myself to eat or drink when I have no hunger.

I'm supposed to add one new food per day. Had my eggs for Breakfast, so today's new food will be cottage cheese (with pepper, of course).
