I Ate Some Food!

I still have 5 days left of my liquids before going to soft food but after I ate some soup tonight for the 20th time since full liquids I ate a small piece of watermelon and a small bite of quinoa. It was glorious. I will not cheat again, but it was so nice to be able to chew something. 

Did it hurt? Get stuck? I am so scared to go off plan. I eat ONLY what is on my list and before I will add anything I have to wait to talk to my NUT. I would like to branch out but worry about how I will know if it's OK.

 No pain, nothing stuck. You just have to chew really well and take it slow.

Omg.... Its been 2 weeks of protein drinks. Soups both broth and pureed, and water...i cheated tonight as well..and took a very small sliver of pulled pork I had made in the crockpot for the family, it was so small, and I chewed it into oblivion, I was so nervous...lol, and I licked the spoon after mixing mashed potatoes... I've been beating myself up since I did it...so glad I'm human too!

Thanks

 No guilt! Pulled pork in on my list to make next week. SkinnyTaste.com has a lot of crock pot pork, beef, and a buffalo chicken recipe that sounded really good.

 How did it go down?  I still have 7 days of full liquids but am dying to chew something! 

 It went down pretty good. I have been progressing my soups to thicker and thicker soups. Costco has this Broccoli Cheese soup that is pretty good and its thick. I have also been swollowing pills for a bout a week so I probably cleared any constrictions.

Two days prior to me going to Phase II, I started with thicker soups and everything was fine.  I also had Oatmeal which I thought was on Phase II, but really wasn't supposed to start it until Phase III.  I haven't eatten it since, trying to not jump the gun again.

 
Hey..... do what your gonna do.....post what you wanna post.....it's your choice/prerogative.......

I feel your enthusiasm...... 

But, we've seen this a hundred times now.......

Hate me, block me...... do what ya gotta do......

See how a post like this gets others that are hanging on by a thread......thinking it's OK to take the risk ???

Your on food progression for a reason...... gotta be smart.....

Eat all the crap you want after your healed..... you can't hurt yourself.... it just effects your weight loss......

Why encourage others to take a risk and provide validation ????

 Just like me you are entitled to an opinion. This is after all a discussion board, not a nursery. The idea is to discuss what you are going through, not protect everyone who is on the program. I don't think I was encouraging anyone to do what I did, however I wanted to hear some feedback from people who also started eating. I have been on a liquid diet for over 4 weeks now.

I appreciate your position but it is up to each person to listen to their doctor.
