Memorial Day remorse
My doctor's instructions for the puree phase are "eat anything, but you have to puree it" and "eat until you're satisfied." I simply did the pureeing with my teethso that everybody didn't have to look at little piles of mush on my plate. I have NOT eaten anything sweet or any bread or pasta. And as far as being satisfied, my pouch felt fine but my mind still wants to eat tons of food like I used to.
I suppose my main concern was not what I ate, or even so much how I ate it, but how MUCH I ate. I know I shouldn't have dished out more than I THOUGHT I was able to eat (which I would think is 2 or 3 ounces), but it put it on the plate and figured I'd stop when my pouch said stop. It didn't say anything. This makes me nervous, of course, because part of the beauty of this surgery is the physical limitation imposed upon you when you have been unable to impose it yourself.
Yes, I will ask my surgeon more questions at my next visit. Will I tell him I've done some of the pureeing with my teeth? Yeah, probably.
