second day of mixed liquids
Hi All,
Well the second day of mixed liquids is coming to a close and I am feeling a bit of restriction and kind of scared to try pureed tomorrow. But I will go slow and stop if I feel discomfort. I am still hungry with mixed liquids. Its more head hunger than physical hunger but when my tummy growls in hunger it kind of hurts. I find I am a little on the burpy side and I expect to be constipated so once I start puree I will have to do something about that.
I have been "enjoying" Carnation Instant Breakfast, V8 juice, tomatoe soup, water and milk and chocolate milk both with some powdered milk added for extra protein. The cold things prior to the fill would have just smashed right on through and I could feel it, if it was cold enough. But now the cold stuff stops ever so briefly before it trickles down into the rest of my tummy. So I have high hopes for this fill for now.
Tomorrow I am going to make a double batch of my favourite lentil stew and a big batch of chili made with ground chicken both of which I can puree and really enjoy. I feeze it in one cup portions making it easy to grab and go first thing in the morning and out the door to work.
Tummy is growling now so I had best go find something to drink.
Later gang,
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

small bites and eating very very slow is the key to success ! until you get used to restriction. best of luck !!!!!

Hopefully today you will be able to tolerate puree and soon will be back to enjoying real foods again. Time flies. Before you know it, this will be but a memory. Just keep your eye on the prise!!
