I had a new lean cuisine square thin crust pizza with chicken on it. It was 350 cals and reminded me of California Pizza Kitchen.

I'm in the fourth week, i'm reguired to have 1/2 cup for food 3 meals a day and four hours apart. I had 1 scambled egg when cooked it measure to 1/2 cup. for lunch yesterday i had chicken salad and canned peaches, 1/4 cup of each. They told me i can have crackers with the chicken salad. But i didn't feel to good after eating them with it, so i'll skip them today too see how it goes. dinner was mashed potatoes and chicken salad.

I go for my first fill on Thursday March 13. I'm a little worried, people have told me that I would have to start drink liquids agian. Have to ask my doctor to be sure. I HOPE NOT..... Been waiting for st. patricks day, going to miss not having corned beef and cabbage.

Where are you getting your calories and Protein from? Is that all of the intake you had for the day?

I guess I'm not, lol. Yes that's all I ate yesterday. My Dr. said that we don't start on Vitamins or Protein drinks until week 2. I have an appointment this Wens. so hopefully I can start those then. I get some calories from Jello (?), popsicles (50) and candy (?). Not enough I am sure but I am goin by Dr.s orders. I feel good though.

When I asked in the hospital about Vitamins and Protein for the first week he said that they pump me up with so much vitamins and such that I'll be fine for 10 days. Then when I asked a nurse what she was giving me when she started a new IV with a full bag of yellow Fluid she told me vitamins. It must be working.
