The First Supper

Today is day 19 post op and my first NUT visit. Officially down 22.5 pounds and I can see and feel the difference. Even more exciting was that I've been advanced to one meal per day of mushy foods. Ta dah!!! The moment I've been waiting for (other than the first 20 pounds to go). Well I knew I'd be dining on a white fish and decided to go all out and make some fresh sautéed garlic spinach per Ina Garten from the food network. The meal was a really quick prep and smelled deelish.

How excited was I to sit down to my small plate with my appetizer fork at the dining room table (which I never do unless there is company) alone to enjoy my first meal. Even weighed everything out on my food scale 3 oz of flounder well moistened a s 3 oz of spinach equally well moistened. Followed the advice of the NUT and attacked my protein first. Chewed each nite 15-30 times but I snuck in a few nibbles of spinach bc well it smelled and tasted so good.


I'd go on and on about the time and the chewing but l fast forward to how far I made it .... Not very. Less than half the flounder was consumed. And more than the majority of the spinach. I'm still sitting here toying with one more bite. But erring on the side of caution.


This sleeve truly is a Godsend. Who'd have thought greedy on over here would be on Just one ounce of fish. First time for everything, huh?
