Hi its me rosey again..ty for the info..it makes sense. i do have a few questions tho if you all wouldnt mind answering. I had my surg nov 30th,im now on nonmushy foods..my concern is not what im eating but how much and how often..i dont want to stretch my pouch out,it deff lets me know when one small bite more is to much.i cant eat anything with sugar in it or im in the bathrm..mostly the amounts ive been having is about 1/2 of a cup..im eating 3 meals aday and 2 snacks,a sample day is:
breakfast 1 egg or cream of wheat
lunch cottage cheese or chix or fish 1/2 c or 4 oz
dinner chix or fish sweet potatoes,or vegies
for snacks sm can v-8 small piece of cheese,peanut butter 2 crackers,sf jello or popsicel,
i figure im eating about 600 cal aday..im feeling well,but concerned that what im doing is the correct thing for me..ive lost 72# thats befor surg and after,im exercising now altho its difficult for me as im handicapped(my legs are paralyzed and i use a walker and wheel chair to get around..i guess im looking for some positive reinforcment and suggestions. it took me a long time to come to this decision and im so excited to be on this journey,i just dont want to mess things up so any help or reassurance from you that have allready traveled this road would be so appreciated..thanks rosey
