2nd Stage Update
So, just a quick post on how I am doing with the 2nd stage of this journey. This is my 6th day on pured/mushy foods. So far I have been satisfied. I feel good, have energy and no emotional breakdowns like I had on liquids.
This is what I am eating: 1/4 cup of pured foods 3 times a day. I eat it VERY slowly over a 20-30 minute time frame. No drinking 15 minutes before and I wait 1-1.5 hours after I finish eating to drink again. I also have 3 protein shakes a day with Calorie Countdown Fat Free milk.
So far my go to foods are oatmeal, refried beans with cheese and salsa and canned chicken. Thats seriously all I have been eating. I need to change it up a bit! Very boring, i know.
I have also stepped up my exercising as I am feeling back to normal. I seriously don't feel like I have had surgery. Everything has healed nicely and I have been using vitamin E on my incisions, which seems to be working.
As of this morning, i am down to 199.5 pounds! Thats a total of 11.5 pounds lost since surgery on March 29th. I am fitting into my older clothes and feeling a lot better about myself. Now, i have 50 pounds to go!
