Banded March 27th, home on the 29th. Was having a heck of a time with liquids, especially since my daughter is out of state at her "father's." I miss her. To add insult to injury I broke up with my boyfriend the day before I left for surgery after dating almost two years.

I'm guessing it's mostly the emotional tie I have with food that's making it so difficult. I did find that hummus is a godsend. I know I'm not supposed to be on mushies yet but I had to do it.

I am starting to get the hang of this, five days out. I'm not hungry, per se, but I find myself constantly checking for signs of hunger then trying to convince myself I have to be hungry because a few bites of this or that cannot be enough compared to the three plus squares I used to eat. They say you have to do something at least twenty-one times before it becomes a habit, I'll catch on sooner or later.

Today's menu:

1/2 cup protein drink in the a.m. (150 calories):girl_hug: :D

1/2 cup of super mushy oatmeal (130 calories)

1/2 cup of hummus (200-300 calories)

1 egg scrambled for dinner (how many calories in an egg?)

1/2+ cup jello before bed to stave off the mental munchies (100 calories)

Water, water, water, water

I can't wait for a chicken breast!!! I dont' care if it's even cooked or defeathered or nothing.
