Lunch - Day 1 of Purees
Jun 28, 2011
2 Tablespoons of Pureed Chicken and 1 Tablespoon of fat-free ricotta cheese. Chicken looks gross pureed but it tastes good. I pureed a large can of chicken breast with a little bit of water and a tsp of low fat mayo. I didn't add any seasonings maybe I will experiment at dinner time. I figured I would go bland starting out to see how my pouch tolerates it. The left overs are in the fridge I am not sure how long they will stay fresh. Maybe I should freeze some of the leftover chicken in ice cube trays. Either that or I could see if my husband wants a Chicken salad sandwich when he gets home from work. He got his surgery date Thursday August 11th. He hasn't had to start his preop diet yet.
For breakfast I had 2 Tablespoons of Chobani Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt. I added 1 packet of Splenda and I had 1 Tablespoon of Gerber Stage 2 Bananas. Overall it was pretty tasty.
I am finding lunch a little harder to eat. I feel it going down more. The texture of the chicken is definitely different then the texture of yogurt. I have to space out the bites of food, which is a strange feeling. I was so used to eating fast before surgery. Now I have to let time pass before I can take another bite. And my bites are so tiny. Like the size of a pea or a cheerio. Now I understand how they said meals should take 20-30 minutes to eat. I made a food diary and I am going to log everything that I eat on myfitnesspal.com.
