Getting used to my new stomach

Ok so it's not a "new" stomach but trust me it feels like it. After my fill on 10/7 I am having experiences that I should have had months ago. I would imagine that this is what the bypass patients feel.


So far the food that I have been able to eat has been soup, cottage cheese, yogurt, and bananas. Oh and yes the occasional Kit Kat. Hey at least I fessed up to it. Surprisingly enough the candy goes down easier than anything else. That sucks!!!


Last nights dinner I begged Jim to go get Jimboy's tacos. I wanted a taco salad with no guacamole or beans. Basically it's just meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and olives. Well when he came home, they had messed up the order and we got a ton of food. Unfortunately it was nothing I could eat. I tried though. There was a meat and cheese taco that I tried. I should have known. The tortilla, I think got stuck. Actually, I think the whole thing got stuck. I lost it all. Which was probably the best thing for me. So after my throat recovered, I ate some cottage cheese.


I have to pay attention to what and how I eat now. Small bites, I mean SMALL bites and chew, chew, chew. I'm not sure if I'm feeling a full feeling but I seem to quit eating around a half a cup of food. BIG change from my previous eating habits!!!!
