So Discouraged....

[Lee 19]

I am always curious about what everyone is eating so I thought I'd give a sample menu. This is what I ate yesterday.

I use Myfitnesspal.com to track my food. I was moved to pureed foods yesterday and I'm in heaven. Finally full after being really hungry for the last four days on full liquids.< /strong>

Here's what the format looks like in Myfitnesspal. My program calls for no Protein supplementation or snacking which is different than a lot of other plans. My surgery was Feb. 17th, so last Wednesday started my third week . I'm down 14.4 pounds since Surgery morning at Kaiser. Today my goal is to get in more Protein, closer to 60. I found it really easy to eat pureed yesterday. I've been getting in 64 oz of fluids or more since day 5. We're all so different on this journey. I try really hard not to compare myself to anyone else. My Nutritionist on Wednesday told me to expect my weight loss to slow down now that I'm on Pureed. I'm visualizing it really getting going now that I'll have more energy! No need to put negative thoughts in there.
