Tomato and Rotini Puree = YUMMY!

Today is my first day on purees and man this is so good! I am glad I like because I have 3 more weeks of this!  It's just so tasty I had to share my joy!

I'm jealous. LOL!! I'm still on clear liquids. I'm not hungry, per se, but my mind is telling me that I must be. I can't wait to get to the puree stage so I can start experimenting. How much can you eat at a time?

I tried mashed potatos for lunch and I could eat about 2 oz, then the tomato and rotini puree for dinner and about 5 oz, I think it just slide right on through cause I drank about that much water after too. I will have to careful how much I have. At least I am not hungry though, sure I wanna eat I have wanted mexican, chicken parmasean, fast food... I am not kidding myself I will eat those things again some but in much smaller amounts and not all the time.

just wanna say I love the picture of the rainbow eye.

I thought we could only hold 2-3 ounces at a time and most stop at 2 tablespoons? I could be WAY OFF BASE with that assumption though. I'm just learning. I thought I read that somewhere.

dense proteins and soft foods will have more restriction

Well I don't think my sleeve "held" that much I think it just slide right on through.

So, you're saying in the beginning that we should eat more and then eat less as we add solids? (Thanks Georgie)

You may even be surprised (in the beginning) that you're getting in as much as you are when "eating" items other than dense proteins.  I could get in close to 3/4 a coup of soup or anything really pureed around week 2-3.  Once I added in solids and really dense proteins...forgeddaboutit!  Try to eat until your comfortable - but, be watchful of overdoing it...even by one bite! :) GL!

Gah, I have so much to learn.
