Omg worm I fixed spaghetti last night for my family and it smelled so good so I took only the sauce which was ground beef, spaghetti sauce, grilled onions and mushrooms and ground them up really good in my food processor and added fat free cottage cheese and fat free mozzarella it was amazing

In my group yesterday this guy who is 2yrs out was talking about some flat bread he gets at walmart...the name of it was Don something..anyway..he uses it in place of regular bread...i think I found it yesterday but am waiting til next week to try it..there was flat bread and pita bread..some were like garlic and herb..i think they would be great toasted under the broiler and eaten with some chicken salad...right now I woulda be a little scared eating them soft cuz they are thick...and yes worm, the Hormel turkey chili is good...i look forward to that meal!

Yay worm!!!! ... hey you know that taco Soup recipe that is on here...im 5.5 wks out...do you think I'd be ok trying it?

[worm2872 635]

Well, I know I gage by what I can eat on its own. So if all the ingredients are OK and they are OK on your plan, then why not. I know I have pushed it with soft foods. My surgeon opened the door when she said she kinda mixes the soft and pureed stage.

Thanks for everyone's responses. I finished up some minor Christmas shopping yesterday and decided to treat my kids to Wendy's (we have not had fast food nearly as much as before). So naturally I went for the chili. Now, this was the first time I have ever eaten their chili and it wasn't bad, but its not mine LOL I truly at 2 bites and was stuffed for 10m until it went down. Then 2 bites and stuffed again. I'm not trying to push it, just really want a sandwich! I want to bite down into a grilled chicken, lettuce, Tomato, whole wheat bun, sandwich! LOL Sidenote, I picked up some Luna Protein Bars today and am licking my fingers from the mint chocolate one that just graced my lips, Dear God it was everything I have craved for the last 5 weeks! LOL and 12gms of protein!!! win/win! still loving the scale, cannot wait to see what it reads tomorrow for the Friday weigh in! LOL I'm in a really good mood. Blame it on the chocolate, blame it on the impending snow storm blowing its way into town tonight, or just call it Christmas spirit, but I feel good!!!!!! Perhaps its because I am breaking down and cheating tonight....I had full intentions of donating my hair to Locks of Love, but after 3 months of blah, lifeless, raggity hair, I just cannot do it anymore! So tonight I am getting a new do! I think it will also help me to get out of my funk. I just havent felt pretty because of it. so hopefully tomorrow I will have a new lease on life! LOL

Everyday I think I have stretched my pouch or that this is all the weight I'm going to lose. I believe these are the head games we play with our minds. I had to have meat so I had meatloaf the other day. I just took a really small piece and took my time. I only eat off small plates now and I use my daughters tiny bowls. It helps. Tomorrow we have my bfs Xmas party. Huge buffet. Already dreading it. Just need to think small. It sounds like we are all doing awesome.

Oh but on the plus side hearing today I have cheekbones was the most amazing compliment ever!
