Two Weeks and Scrambled Eggs

Hi All, I posted a two week update to my blog this morning.  I was going to post here, but once I started typing, it just went on and on and on and seemed a bit too long to put up here. Anyhow, if you're interested in my first food experience it's all there. Try to make Monday as good as possible - just remember the holiday weekend is coming fast -Monday will be a day off next week!!!

Me thinks someone thought we were kidding about not being able to eat more than a couple itty bitty bites of that first egg!!  LOL.  Our EYES are so big when it comes to food!  It's crazy!!! Way to go!!

No - I knew you were all serious, I just couldn't get my brain wrapped around that one egg being enough for ME.  My grandmother was cooking me two eggs when I was in grade school... how could one be enough now?   You're right - crazy. I did get some refried beans and cheese for lunch today.  It was good, too, but I still fixed too much.  I guess eventually I'll get all my wires straightened out and be able to realize what I'm doing.

John - just giving you a hard time!!  I was the same way - it seemed SILLY to make ONE egg - I was SOOOO ready to eat!!  I think I ate TWO bites of that first egg and one tablespoon of cottage cheese and felt like i was going to explode!!!  I have an extremely TINY skillet now and I can eat 2 egss but it took a LONG time. My EYES still have a problem adjusting to my pouch.  I think I want something, eat 2 bites and I am done.  It is so hard to fathom!!  Luckily at almost 2 years out, I am still having that issue!  I hope it doesn't change!!  But then I still don't really feel hunger either and I know that is not the norm.  I was going to say that was "abnornmal" but that leaves open TOO many opportunities for others to ding me.....sooooooo   Nanny nanny boo boo ya'll!!! 

John, here's a hint for you...I was at Wal Mart last night, and was browsing through their cooking section, just for kicks and grins. And guess what I found? A pan called a One Egg Wonder pan, from T-Fal. It is just the right size to cook one egg or one quarter cup of Egg Beaters for your scrambled eggs. It's so cute, but just to warn you, my uncle was making fun and wanted to know if I was cooking for the whole family while I was cooking my egg in it. There's 14 of us, if that gives you any idea lol. Hope you enjoy!!

I bought some itty bitty dishes at Kohls yesterday (thanks for the lead Anna.)  I hope those little plates and bowls help me with this portion distortion issue.  I am a volume eater.  It is hard to wrap my brain around what everyone is telling me.  I totally get it John. You are doing so great John.  Keep my place on the bench warm for me.  I am in just 3 days!  I am really ready to do this thing and stop talking and thinking about it! Denise

John I was just thinking about you and Michelle today. I knew that it was your time for soft foods. It's pretty amazing how little we can eat now. You will have good days and bad days with food. What works one time sometimes doesn't work out so well the next time. I am 5 months out and still learning from my new tool. Best of luck to you, Rita

Hooray for making it through liquids!!! Welcome mushies! Hooray for you! : )
