I am just starting my muchie stage. I haven't kept track of my calories which I know I am going to have to start. I still drink mostly Protein Drinks and shakes. I am adding muchies slowly as I have suffered with IBS and am afraid of starting to eat to much. Today my brother-in-law make home made chicken noodle Soup for our Christmas meal. I brought my Magic Bullet over and muched it all up. I am going to start keeping a log of my calories. Tonight I did drink about 4 oz of a Protein Drink. My hubby is now on vacation until 1/2/09 so I also have to deal with him being home with me now. What type of meals on your on now? Laurel

iim on pureed which is any thing you put in the blender like baby food like food. i think i did good today here is what i eat today.

b-15oz oj

s-1 slice of turkey mashed up

l-2spoons each dressin, yams mashed, slice turkey mashed up.

d- same as above (it all fits in the size bowl that you eat the broth out of at the hospital)

larel age is just a number always remember your as young as you feel. my granny use to say dont nothing get old but, money an clothes. also glad to hear that your night was better. i never felt full or felt like i over eat at any point so i ate 2x's in 9hrs. rose im gonna have to start tracking what i eat. do you use that calorie counter thing i was thinking about trying it. think im gonna stick around 1200-1700 calories. going back to the gym on monday very happy about that. that's really gonna help me out. laurel have you thought about how may calories you will be trying to eat a day. what about you allie.

laurel yes ya ex is mad as you have showed him that life goes on without good for you. heres a laugh on him just think the healthier you get the better you will look and he will feel worser for what he lost. they always hate to see there ex's looking good it makes them feel like shit. so under that note you go girl. i to have a magic bullet i love mine.

I am glad that everything went well for you Laural. Be patient everything will work out in time for you with your son. I did notice that since I have increased my calorie intake to about 1200 cal my weight is coming off alittle faster. What food stage are you in and what are you eating. Have a very merry christmas.

Merry Christmas to all. Last night did go a little better than expected. I did find out the ex is trying to be best buddy's with my son. My ex isn't happy that I am doing well without him. I do have to be patient. I know I am not getting enough calories in. So that is my goal to increase calories in a healthy way. I do plan to start doing Water arobics next week too. I am not letting my slow weight discourage me totally. Thanks to all for all you support. I do have to remember my age slows down the process too. My head tells me I am still young. I did this whole thing for me. I plan on making this whole effort a success. I know I am in total control of it all. Hope Santa was good to all of us. Laurel

No I haven't even thought about the calories I have been eating. I mainly made sure I got in enough Fluid and Protein after surgery. All the diets I have been on either counted fat grams and carbs. I do have have the web sites saved to count calories which I plain on starting to do probably on Monday. This morning I made a Protein Shake with milk, chocolate protein, a teas of Peanut Butter and 1/2 of small banana. Well, need to go shower as hubby wants to go to car dealership and try to trade in 2 cars for 1. We inherated a car this year and have too many. Both the cars we are trading in have payments so altleast we will knock one off. Just hope the dealership is hungry enough. I will bring along a protein drink. China, I am 51, so I didn't mean to imply I was old, but I know it slows down your motabilisim. Excuse my spelling today. Hope everyone has a great day. Laurel:thumbup:

[china 1]

HEY ALL ROSE THIS IS GOOD FOR REAL I THINK I WILL TRY THE CARNATIONS drinks FOR B AS IM NOT HUNGRY IN THE MORNING. AND IM SCARED TO PUT THE COTTAGE cheese IN MY MAGIC BULLET. I HAVEN'T MASTERED IT YET, SO I TEND TO OVER BLEND STUFF STILL.:tongue2:. LAUREL NO POINT INTENDED JUST THAT BOTH MY MOM AND HER 2 SISTER WENT ON FORMULA 40-30-30 AND IN 15MONTHS ALL HAD LOST OVER 150LBS. MY MOM LOST 213LBS. BUT, THE POINT IS MY AUNTS ARE OVER 51. HELL I KNOW YOUNG PEOPLE THAT LOSS SLOW I DONT CARE IF ITS FAST OR SLOW AS LONG AS IT COMES OFF AND DOESN'T COME BACK.

IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DRINKING. I FIND MY SELF DRINKING AFTER I FINISH EATING. SOME TIMES I CAN WAIT 15MINS AFTER THAT IM FEEL LIKE IM DIEING OF THIRST. GONE TRY IT TODAY AND WAIT TO DRINK OR DRINK BEFORE AS I HAVE NEVER DID THAT ONE YET.

Glad to hear that you are doing well China. I feel like I am at a stand still I have not lost any more weight, but I guess I should not be weighing myself everyday either. Does everyone do that?

Yesterday I had:

B: 1 scrambled egg w/beans

L: Slim Fast shake - low carb

D: chicken (mushed) carrots mushed

S: String cheese

[china 1]

hey rose how are you, baby dont weigh ya self every day it will drive you crazy. promise me you will only weigh once a wk. are you still on mushie phase. it looks good what you are eating. i might be wrong but, was your Breakfast all Protein. meaning the eggs are Protein right and so are the Beans right. are you eating the same amount of calories a day. i hear some people say that they go up and down with the calories. i really think its your body just getting use to the food coming back into play. my dr said that once i started food back i might gain a few lbs or the weightloss might slow down a bit. either way im ok with it as i have to learn what to eat and how to eat. hell im still trying to get a whole meal down.

im going to the gym tonight :crying::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::frown: i feel like a kid in a candy store. imagin that. has anyone tried pork loins or steak. i tried chix it was ok. would like to try a hot dog no bun but, im scared i know i gave my kids that when they where smaller. cut up sm. i went and got me a baby spoon and fork:biggrin: just to make sure i dont put to much in has anyone else dont that. i also have a cup that hold only 8ozs. and im stll useing the bowl that everyones broth was in at the hospital. or i have a 4oz bowl. so im trying to get into the next size but dont see that happening any time soon. maybe in 2wks i will try a regular bowl.

tell me how often is everyone else eating? i have been eating like every 4-5hrs mostly. and do you eat b4 you get hungry. i eat when i remember. gotta work on that. also has anyone eaten any thing they were not supose to yet.

i did i had 1 veinna sausage. it was mashed up and yes it was good. well talk to everyone soon. also im gonna be starting a new weightloss challenge jan.2,09 i hope you all join it, its really fun and we offer alot of support to one another its almost like this one except we are not all the same suregery date.:wink:

WTG keep up the determination. I need to still slow down when eating. I am able to limit what I eat so far. Yesterday I made it through an hour of Water arobics. Today, I had to take my daughters phone to get fixed and I walked around shopping center while I waited. I am also planning on taking my younger daughter to the mall tonight after dinner. So I will get in some more walking in. I am also keeping my eye out for some smaller size sweaters for me for next winter. I am tall so I don't want to even think about pants. I am going to win this battle once and for all. Let us all keep up the good work. I will probably end up working tomorrow night so I don't have to worry obout new years snacking or drinking. I drive a limo sometimes on the side. Happy New Year to all of us. Laurel
