my weight loss goal is 100, how about you? I'm worried cuz i have no problem eating, but i do feel fine when I'm done with my half cup. today i had beans and oh so yummy :-) for dinner, egg salad.... i am looking forward to soft foods and today i gave in and weighed myself. since surgery i have lost 13 pounds, so a total of 24 with pre-op. I'm suppose to lose between 1-2 pounds a week, how about you? my surgeon said he'll know if i try to lie so i can lose faster, lol. I'm actually happy with 1-2 a week. I'm not in any hurry. do u like the wii fit? my hubby is making the extra room into a workout room so that will be nice to look forward too....

yes, the powder does add some calories but worth it considering its full if protein. also, I'm doing good with cal intake but had to break it down. one of my incisions is bothersome and i walk all that i can.... my paperwork does say 15 days for swimming but i am gonna wait for the Dr to check me. my hunger is subsiding so that's a good thing. so you lost 11 since surgery day? i want to weigh myself but i want to feel surprised when i go for follow up, lol. but i have people asking me have i lost weight, so it must be noticeable.... clothes that didn't fit, fit now & i even have found interest in doing family activities again. that alone makes me happy!!!!

well the bump went away, i can have a tuna kit & it leaves me satisfied but then i am hungry like 2hrs later. i called my nutrionioist & gonna meet with her to come up with a better meal plan to suit me. my cal count is under 800 but I'm having trouble getting in all my protein. my husband is getting me some unflavored protein powder to add to meals to boost my protein intake. i can't wait to go swimming again cuz i miss it....

I'm doing ok, been breaking my meals up to curb my hunger. one of my incision has a bump on it, gonna call the Dr tomorrow & see if i need to be seen. i noticed i've been tired the last couple nights but hanging in there. sorry about your blister.... i think this Friday I'll weigh myself but really don't want to. i keep telling myself this is my time for healing. good luck on your job interview....

i can't have caffeine, it doesn't agree with me very well, lol. my mom makes tamales and menudo which i will not be having any of either. yeah, i think I'll need a fill cuz today i didn't pay attention an swallowed too soon an no stuck episode. i panicked but it went down fine. i stopped eating just cuz i freaked, lol. i've been doing walking for now til the Dr ok's me cuz i like to swim. i have lots of fish, chicken and veggies. i have been between 600-800 cals in, always protein first. it's getting easier, i go to see the surgeon on 12/21, which will be perfect timing before x-mas cuz all the goodies will be coming! lol, not looking forward to challenging my willpower that day. i know I'll be ok but what i would like is a glass of wine, lol....

good job, have u tried the myfitnesspal app? i used it in my efforts before to lose weight. i don't feel any restriction anymore and i notice that i am feeling hungry, unlike before where i wasn't feeling any hunger.... i am feeling itchy where my stitches are, lol. today i went and bought some decaf tea, yum....

yes, it's winter weather right now, that's why it wasn't so hard for me to get through the liquid stage, lol. i went & got a food scale & today even went out to dinner with my husband. what's nice, i get like 3 meals out of the fish i ordered! for a moment i thought i was gonna have a "stuck" moment, but it was a false alarm, thank god. i ate about only half of my 3 oz of fish. i don't feel any different, but i do feel somethin in me to "stop" eating. i don't know how to explain it. been keeping on track & my husband even took me shopping for workout shoes & food to make it easier on me when i cook for him & my daughter. how's your blister? i feel pretty good & my strips are falling off.... it was great not getting tired the 1st 15 mins into shopping >_<

oatmeal, then chicken for lunch then chicken for dinner :-) my plan allows 1/2 cup, of course protein 1st, then veggies, then if any room, carbs.... then snacks in between i can have a shake, at the top of my head i can't remember how much, i believe 1/2 cup, i am always going back through my papers if i forget, lol.... think I'll do a cheat sheet an carry it in my purse. think I'll make a pot of beans tonight....

well yesterday i wanted to eat so bad, like an egg or a cracker but didn't give in. my husband bought me some popsicles and i felt better. i did get shaky and un-easy. i just kept drinking my water with lemon and slept. i wasn't sure if i were getting sick or if it were something else. it passed and I'm good today. i think fish would be a good thing, just depends how you prepare it. i have to be on liquids for a week, so i start mushies Saturday, I'm guessing you do as well?

skuzzie, your too funny, 1st, sorry about your blister, that's a pain. 2nd, i love the mentality, a scale is a good idea, I'm gonna get 1 to now, oh, i did laundry too, kill d of over did it but good today. yes, i have 2 adult children and 2 grandchildren. they do not know, just my husband. he's been a great supporter. he doesn't eat in front of me, but it really doesn't bother me, I'm just so grateful for the soup or s.f. pudding & so on. they keep sayin i look thinner but it's really the swelling that's going away, lol. i didn't want my children to worry, but they noticed i have been making better choices & don't tempt me with junk, they now go out & have it, so that I'm grateful for.... hope your blister heals >_<

congratulations and welcome to the other side >_< sip sip sip.... walk walk walk...
