Day 2: Half the portion size, comfortably full!

Schmoylent: Day 2
Brunch: Vanilla Schmoylent with MCT oil and added Vanilla flavoring

By the end of the day yesterday I was absurdly bloated. I woke up still bloated. I have a history of doing this if I consume a lot of gluten, but I haven't identified any other foods in particular that cause this problem. Oh well, I'm proceeding forward with this experiment.

Last night I failed to prepare the Schmoylent for today. But running off a suggestion I got yesterday from Marie​, I just mixed up my Schmoylent this morning right when I woke up and threw it in the freezer. It still got a couple of hours of mixed life before I ended up drinking it. I also decided to throw some Penzeys double strength vanilla in the bottle today to have some flavor.

I make my single meal portions in a blender bottle. Super easy! However, the lid on it tends to drip, unless I'm armed with a napkin (or willing to lick it). This stuff is yucky on clothing. I've learned that the hard way.

Blender bottle! It started full, I drank a little more than half. What's left in it will be lunch!

So I started to drink my sludge at work today, instead of in the car on the way in. I waited until I was hungry, about 9:30 (normal for me) and then sat down to do some work and drank about half of what the bag claims is a single meal. I'm totally full now. It was nice to just let myself stop when I was full, unlike yesterday when I got overly full. Obviously, I'll operate this way under normal conditions. I just went to the extreme yesterday for science.

The taste suffered a bit for not sitting overnight. It's even grittier. Mmmm, grit! I am saving the second half of the meal for whenever I start to feel hungry, or possibly bored, since that seems to be a reason I eat. I have no other food in my office, so this is my only option today.

Tonight I get to seat soup!

Since starting this:
Schmoylent meals: 3
Real meals: 1
