How is the overnight training going? I finally feel like I am healing now. I only worked a few days last week. I am back to my normal 10 hour days this week. I take a good nap at lunch and feel better than last week. Are you having trouble getting in Protein and fluids now that you are back to work?

Overnight training went well now I am on day shifts. It is definitely harder to get all my protein in with work, but hopefully Tuesday I can start pureed foods. I'm not tired but the last couple days the left side of my stomach was a little sore must be the moving around so much and the healing. Luckily my days are 9 hours for now. I'm exhausted physically by the end of my shift. How are your fluids?

Don't bother it probably won't be as good as you think.

Are y'all measuring your food? I keep seeing posts they say things like, "I can only eat 2oz of chicken", etc.

I honestly have no idea how man ounces of food I'm eating right now! I know it's not much but I don't know exactly.

If you are, how are you measuring food? Thanks!

I have these prep bowls that have measurements on the side, so I measure out 1 or 1/2 serving and eat what I can. Whatever is left lets me know how much I ate.

I'm being very careful about recording my food. My nutritionist will want a report in December, so I will have it for her. Plus, I want to make sure I'm getting enough Protein.< /p>

I'm doing pretty well on my Protein and fluids, but i still feel TIRED. I push myself through the day, but my left side hurts by the late afternoon and by bedtime, I'm beyond exhausted.

I feel like I should be feeling better by now and I'm frustrated.

[GeauxForIt 659]

Right side, not left side...

[Kdedeo 52]

OK. It's my turn to be frustrated. I gained weight this week. GAINED!!! What the heck is going on? I'm doing everything I'm supposed to, but I gained a pound!!!

Good job!! I have lost 24 pounds also. I am amazed at the difference that I feel already. I look forward to the next 100 pounds going away.

Don't get frustrated!!! It is kicking my but getting back in gear with work, grad school and my family. Remember we just had a major surgery. It is tough being back at work and we are still recovering. It will get better! Get some extra rest at night if possible. Soon we will be skinny and full of energy!

Sounds like a good plan. Are you having any trouble with any foods? So far the new foods I have added haven't given me any problems. I kept hearing about everyone's stomach gurgling, mine now does it with soft foods, especially meats.< /p>

I use small bowls that are 4oz. I am amazed now when I see others eating at how large their portions are. I can't believe how much I used to eat--all the time.
