I feel like singing...."I am a Big Girl Now"...
I graduated to pureed foods today! I had spent a lot of time planning what I needed to buy to make sure I had everything on hand for this next phase of eating. I shopped for everything AND walked the whole way! It sounds like a small feat for some, but for me it was quite the accomplishment. It took me forever to go through the aisles, but I did it! All by myself. Well, not exactly. Paul came in after his haircut to help as I was finishing up. He packed up and paid and let me sit. I was so very grateful! It is amazing how quickly guilt gets pushed aside when one is exhausted.
I couldn't bear (or quite have the energy) to put the food away so it is all sitting on my table. I now take the next step and plan what I am going to eat when. The planning process takes a little thought process because days of eating the same thing gets to be a bit much. One can of pureed corned beef hash will last me for the rest of the week.
Today's menu consisted of corned beef hash for breakfast, ham and pears for lunch and refried beans with a dab of cheese and sour cream for dinner. All meals were so yummy! Maybe not the most appetizing in looks, but fun on the tummy. I am certainly not complaining about this phase.
I stepped on the scale this morning and am down another 5 pounds. Fifteen in all! Again, no complaints there. I plan on taking another picture (thanks for the idea Peggy) and posting that, but not tonight. Energy levels are low and my front left side still hurts. I will not be at all sad when this pain is gone.
