Dr. appointment on Thursday morning to add fluid to the band. YAY! I'm excited about this. I'm trying to eat less but seem to be failing right now. I've understand the first 6 weeks are for healing after surgery and I'm still shy of 4 weeks. Doesn't mean I'm not irritated. I'm doing my part of choosing healthier alternatives but having trouble with the smaller portions right now. Just trying to substitute fruit for sugar cravings and vegetable juice for salt cravings. Still eating protein packed foods and making good carb choices. taking vitamins too to help me continue healing and getting better.

Okay I'm listing out what I had to eat yesterday maybe that will help me see that it wasn't as bad as I thought: Burrito bowl (spanish rice [brown rice, enchilada sauce], ranch style beans, fajita beef strips (4), cheese, salsa, guacamole), water, mango and strawberries, water, Pringles (maybe 8 total),V8 Spicy Hot (12 oz), Goldfish crackers (1/2 cup), water.

uh oh... not enough protein yesterday. Then again it was a busy day and I had only made dinner. At least tonight will be different, Making meatloaf, potatoes, and broccoli. Made pancakes this morning for breakfast and had a strip of bacon. Took my vitamins. Grrr... Have things to do.

***UPDATE*** Started a myfitnesspal account last night and logged my food. So far I'm not doing too bad, according to the site I'm not even hitting my calories for the day that they have alotted for me. Going to check with the doctor's office to see how many I should be getting a day, then adjust the settings as needed on MFP.
