I got the OK to move onto soft foods from purees. Today I ate 3oz of Shrimp, and later on a crab cake pattie. OMG. First of all I haven't been able to take in more then 2 oz of food. The shrimp was the first time I've tried anything that I had NO gas side effects. It was awesome! I just had them plain, with nothing special. Nom Nom! Later on I went out for a bit to the Balloon Festival, and there were NO real good choices. It was between a fattening hamburger, fried sweet potato fries, and a crab cake. I chose the crab cake sans the bun, and I ate the whole thing! Yum yum yum!
Tonight for dinner I made ground chicken breast in salsa. I ate about 1oz. I figured as much. I also made some ground chicken meatballs in sauce for the next few days. I'm going shopping for more shrimp, scallops, and fish tomorrow! I need to keep a bit of variety because even though I love greek yogurt, right now I want to vomit when I look at it after eating it every day. In a few days I'll try a cracker w/ cheese. To get in some fruit, I've frozen strawberries and added them to my protein shake in the place of ice. And I bought some zucchini that I'll eat as a snack, because 3oz of shrimp have an amazing amount of protein!
I've been having a hard time liking anything I drink. Water is way too hard. Now I take some lime mush it up in the water, and add 2 packets of truvia. It's like a limeaid and it goes down in normal sips!
I'm really in a good place right now because I get to eat some more things, and the only thing that has made me sick was beans, so I'm staying away from them. I have no idea how many calories, or carbs I'm supposed to have. My nutritionist said just to focus on getting 60g of protein. I do that between 5-600cals a day, though everyone else says to eat more so that confuses me a bit.
Anyway I'm totally lucky to have tons of energy, no real eating issues, and I'm losing =)
