Scared!

So scared. This is my very first "meal" after getting off pureed and we are out at Jason's Deli. I sure am praying for that I did okay in my ordering. I ordered 1/2 zucchini grillini because I thought I could eat the inside only. I also got chicken noodle soup and some cantaloupe. I know I will have a lot of leftovers. 

I hope you were able to brave you first real meal without any trouble.  I imagine you were able to eat only couple of small bites.  But that is how it's supposed to be. So just take it easy.  Remember chew, chew, chew and everything will be just fine.  

I survived!  I only ate a nibble or two of the zucchini. I ate 2 pieces of the cantaloupe and 2 spoonfuls of the soup. Lots of leftovers. Thankfully I played it smart and didn't push myself to eat like I used to. In fact, when I realized I needed to just get rid of the sandwich, I gave it to the gal cleaning up the tables to throw away. Next time I will play it even smarter and take a nibble off hubby's instead of getting my own.

What are your surgeon's directions?  Mine were protein first.  I did not eat any vegetables until I got my 60-80 grams of protein in for the day.  I did not eat fruit until I achieved my goal weight - fruit is mainly just sugar water.  So, I would not eat cantaloupe.  I was instructed to wait 30 min between eating and drinking and visa-versa, so I would not eat a soup with food.

You may have different instructions that I had, but make sure you are following all directions. I suggest sticking to the straight and narrow until you achieve your goal weight.
