cheating?

ok, so i'm now 3 weeks post and i just met with my nutrionist yesturday. i'm now on puree foods but i kinda have cheated..... i've tried deli turkey, which wet down good. noodles in my soups, went good. um i had some pasta today, went good. i haven't tried that much else but every little thing i've had has gone good except for the egg i had this morning and the puree. both those things seem to just stay in my throat and i end up having to spit it out. so am i the only naughty one that has cheated?

No, you are not the only naughty one I have been bad staying on liquids when I was supposed to. I just had such a hard time with it. I have had tastes of many foods and I am so fortunate that everything has agreed with me so far. I am three weeks out today and go for my post op appt for that on Friday. I don't dare let them know how bad I have been. I did email them once and told on myself for trying cottage cheese, mashed potatoes and refried beans and they had a fit so I kept my mouth shut after that. Pam

hey pam, that's so funny about them getting mad so you didn't tell them anything else. i did that with mine. i told her i had mash potatoes and she was upset so i didn't dare tell about the deli turkey,lol. i just tried some cottage cheese, i didn't like it. i am such a picky eater. i have learned in the past 5 years to eat more things but i'm still sooo picky. glad all is well for you, keep up the good work!!!! maria

In about my third week I borke down and had a couple of baked Doritoes!!(chewed very well) I also went to the movies and the popcorm smell overcame me. I took two pieces of popcorna nd sucked the flavor out but spit out the kernals. The funny thing is that now I am four weeks aout and can actually eat "real food" and when I start to----I feel GUILTY. GO FIGURE!!! Sandy

hey sandy, that's funny about the movies. i went the other night and boy did those nachos smell good, but i behaved,lol. good luck with the guilty thing, i know i have it because i'm eating what i'm not sopose to like tonight i had a little bit of rice drenched in red beans (spanish food) and it's settled pretty good so far. well good luck with your eating. maria

I am three weeks out today, and have cheated during my full liquid phase...i have had ricotta cheese heated w a little sauce, and mozzarella cheese melted (yum). I have also had a shrimp or two that I chewed VERY VERY well. Today is my first day of pureed foods. I am having refried beans rightr now and had a protein shake earlier. I might make homemade chile later today and blend that up for dinner LOL

hi denise, first off, i loveeeeee chile, i've had it a couple times this past week, the one you get at wendys. i would love to make my own, you got a receipt? i love pasta i've had mac and cheese 2 times, not lots just a few bites to content my stomach. i do worry about the carbs. well let me know about the chile and best of luck to you. oh, i hope you enjoyed your shrimp,lolol. maria

Hi Maria, I had my RNY on July 26th. I am already allowed shaved deli meats and soft cheeses. The main thing is to chew chew chew. I didn't one day and clogged my new stomach. I ended up with vomitting that lasted half the day. I was misserable. So after going through this I am very careful to either puree everything or chew the food to death! Linda

hello linda, see that's so unfair, you are a week after me and i'm not allowed deli meats or cheese for another 2 1/2 weeks,lol. not that i'm waiting but still, i hate lying about anything,lol. ok 1 stupid question, what does SHAVED deli meats mean? i made some potatoes tonight and smashed them and put deli turkey in it, was really good. i tried puree a week ago and it just stayed in my throat, yet thicker stuff goes down just fine, go figure!!!! maria

No your not the only naughty one in fact.. Those liquids never went down easily for me.. I was doing so well.. my 1st week I had lost 15 lbs.. Now my weight seemed to have went up a little. I have eaten tuna, eggs, mashed potatoes, grilled chicken etc.. They all went down fine but I feel so guilty.I did tell my doc about the eggs and chicken noodle soup but I wouldn't dare tell them about the other stuff. I don't eat too much of the bad stuff but sticking too those pureed and liquid stuff is tough. Now am just drinking protein shakes and jello.Am trying to be a good girl because I go for my 2nd pre-op appointment next week.
