Hey guys,

I feel ya! I am only 4 days behind you, and I get back to the office on Monday. I don't know if I will last all day, but I need to be prepared. Anyone who could shed some light would be most welcomed!

I also wanted to add... Yeah Sleeve! Already down 28 pounds...

At two weeks, I was definitely sticking to 2 ounces at a time, not going over at all. Eating alot of mashed potatoes with shredded cheese on top (nummy), cottage cheese, potato Soup. Warmed up peach crystal lite or Decaf tea. Premier chocolate shakes (Costco). They are 11 ounces and took me 2 hours to drink. Fish was good; also did deviled ham and chicken - altho they are a little spicy. I think that's about the time I started hard boiled eggs - deviled egg style. I love the fake crab with a little cocktail sauce. Also found some seafood dip at costco that is only about 60 calories for an ounce, a few Protein and not many carbs. It was in the speciality meat/dip/fish fresh area, near the artichoke dip?? oh! sugar free pudding and Jello. good for those times when you just want something in your stomach : )

I still eat about every 2-3 hours - even if it is just a few bites.

Thanks Pnw218. I am really concerned with the portion sizes. But 2 oz sounds doable. Now I just have to get the timing right with nothing to drink 30 minutes before or after I eat. 2 oz even sounds big to me right now if it is dense meat like chicken salad. But this does help. Thank you.
