Starting week two!!! Hurray for Puree!!

As I'm trying new foods, I'm already experiencing some problems. Turns out that 4 oz. of hummus has 14 fat which is over my max of 10 for a meal. Choosing the instant "loaded" mashed potatoes was not a good choice either. I only managed a few bites before ditching that meal!!

My doctor has said to take it slow.. but I want to eat! I was really looking forward to this stage since it would allow more variety. I'm all about mixing things up! How is everyone else doing at this stage? Is anyone else allowed pureed foods?

I was also wondering how much your pouches can hold. I can do only 4 oz of the thick greek yogurt (Fage 2% is AWESOME with lots of protein) but was able to eat 8 oz of thin oatmeal for breakfast this morning.

my dr's plan is much more limiting..basically I can choose 3 oz of chicken, tuna, salmon or 2 eggs; I think cottage cheese or nonfat greek yogurt is ok too- but I don't care for those.  No pasta, rice, potato, breads or starches of any kind. Breakfast today- 2 scrambled eggs; Lunch- 3 oz canned chicken w/ fat free mayo.

I don't know what full feels like.. I've just been measuring and eating just that.

Looking forward to next week for some grilled chicken!

Im starting week 3. I dont have any problms with any of the foods that im aloud at this time. I am only aloud to have 2oz. at a time though. Im aloud white fish, tuna with a little of mayo in it, salmon, low fat or non fat yogert (no friut), any kind of cheese except cream cheese, mashed potatoes,cream of wheat and scrambled egg (only one at a time). Im supposed to drink proyien shakes to add up to 50 to 60 grams of protien and eat these 2oz. meals 3 to 4 times a day. It is very interresting to see the diffenaces in diet at this stage.
I now want to eat and miss being able to  just eat period. Im dealing with the head hunger realy bad now too. To be honest I realy cant tell if im realy hungrey or its just head hunger. Sometimes, its confusing.
The protien products are the thing that makes me feel sick. I am trying out a bunch of siffernt samples and finding a few that i can tilerate and also like the taste at the same time.
Oh yeah, Im not sopposed to use sesonings on my foos either (but I do anyways).


Well good luck to you and to all *****ad this, Gwen

Oops I forgot to do the spell check lol.. How embarrassing!
