I need to slow down

I made a pot roast over the weekend and I ate some tonight, not pureed.  I didn't feel well.   I had e trouble this morning with cold cereal, didn't wait for it to get soft enough.  I stayed home an extra 30 minutes because I didn't feel well.   I am still not hungry and I think I stress ate at these two meals.  I need to slow down. I haven't worshipped the porcelain god, but I normally don't.  Tomorrow is a new day and my new mantra is slow down.

I would like to give you an additional mantra besides slow down.  "Make different choices". 

Pot roast is fatty - could be the fat that is making you sick.

Cereal with milk - too much sugar in both the milk and the cereal - dumping

If you are on pureed stage then stick to it until you can progress via your directives from your surgeon.  Protein first - ditch the carbs ( cereal) .  Try some refried beans with shredded cheddar in the micro - or take the protein source your family is having for dinner and put it in your blender with some liquid - gravy from a packet is a good choice or some chicken broth etc

You're 4 weeks out of surgery. There's no way in this world I could have eaten pot roast 4 weeks out. 6 months maybe.

Anything you have to cook in a crock pot for hours to make it palatable is a crappy piece of meat. Even cooked well, pot roast is tough and stringy. Stick with something soft and moist for a while. I had a lot of thinly sliced deli ham at first, and tenderloin after that. Same goes for ground meat. They grind it because it's too tough to eat whole. Ground meat will sit in your pouch like lead pellets.

Stay away from cereal. All cereal is crap for nutrition. Utter crap.

In addition to better choices, weigh all your portions. Even if you eat the right thing, eating just a tiny bit too much will make you feel like death.

At your stage, none of us really knew what a proper portion size looks like. We all want more. Stick to small, measured quantities.

I don't let my daughter eat cereal. She whines about it, but 10 years from now when she's not an obese teenager like I was she'll thank me. Cereal is not good for you. I strongly agree with Grim. No more cereal ^^

I am so happy to read another mom who doesn't "do cereal" -- my son has not had cereal for nearly 6 years now (he's about to be 10) -- and my husband has given up *****ing that I refuse to buy that carb-laden crap at the store.  He is naturally thin, but he used to eat a mixing bowl in a sitting.  A mixing bowl!  

There is absolutely NOTHING good in cereal. 

High five fellow mama!

You don't mean to say obese teenagers got that way from cereal, do you?

 Eta: I do not advocate cereal but it is not the sole factor in obesity for most of us.

with other contributing factors obviously.

Oh, obviously. 

Restart at each meal - no need to wait until tomorrow.

My plan calls for no chicken, beef, pork, lamb, nuts, shellfish till week 7. Canned tuna and salmon, egg, baked and broiled flaky fish, soft cooked beans, hummus, tofu can be my protein sources till week 7. Good luck!
