Most of you know I was sick all week and didn't have much of an appetite but I tried eating but couldn't get alot down before I felt nauseated. I got some sugar free Popsicles down and half of yogurt and protein shakes and water. So I was supposed to start solid food yesturday but should I just stick to mushies for the week? I'm also kind of scared to start solids anyways, I don't wanna get sick again plus school is starting soon

If you stick to mushy foods because you're scared, then you're going to make it a habit to eat them because they are "easier" to eat. You need to get on solid foods and just remember to chew it really well and take small bites. If you stick with slider foods, you won't lose weight likeyou're supposed to and you won't stay full as long as you should

yeah i know but is it safe to basically go from not being able to really eat anything all week to go straight to solids? im still kind of sick i dont want to make myself sick more, ya know? the only thing im scared about eating solids is getting sick like i have been, i still have to see my dr, maybe my band is too tight idk

what are some good choices to eat? that taste good too

i guess im just nervous too

Erin -

When I progressed to solids my doctor had me go through a period of "softer" solids, like meatloaf - he said to go a few days with nothing "crunchy". That might be a good way for you to progress.

If I were you I think I would call and talk with your doc's office - find out what they want you to do as I'm sure they know what has been going on with you. They can really advise you best.

thanks

i see my nutritionist and my dr wednesday
