Real food & stalls!

Well yes, I have started real foods & it is going well.  I find I can eat only 2-3 oz of meat at a meal, so don't normally have time for veggies or any carbs.  So definitely eating high protein diet.  I am averaging around 800 calories a day & getting in about 55-65oz of liquids a day.

If you are interested, this is so far, what a typical day looks like for my menu.

7.30am - Chike Shake made with 1 cup of skim milk
10am - Snack of 2 slices of ham or 2 cheese sticks.
12.30 - Gyro meat, about 3oz
3pm - Snack of half a magic pop with PB on it
6pm - About 3oz of fish or boiled egg mixed with a little mayo.

In between I am drinking gatorade G2 or water.
If you haven't heard of magic pops they are great.  They are very low in carbs & calories, not really much to them.  I found them in Shoprite, near the deli section.

Now my only problem I had is that I was at a stall for about 2 weeks, just hovering around the same number.  Quite frustrating!  But I think 2 days ago I broke my stall & now the scale is slowly creeping down again.  Yay!

So far I have lost 24.6lbs & feeling great!

Found that TGIfridays wings do not agree with me.  I had maybe 3 of them one day for dinner & suffered afterwards.  I think they were just too greasy.  I felt uncomfortably full & my tummy also felt queezy.  So I took 2 tums & that seemed to help a lot.

As always, any questions just ask!

Started Solids & 1 month since surgery!

Well today marks 1 month since my surgery in Mexico with Dr Kelly!  And I am doing fantastic!

Really I am!  I hear those who have problems eating certain things, have pains still, I have nothing!  Can't thank Dr Kelly & his team for what a fantastic job they did on me!

I am down 22lbs since my highest pre-op weight, so very happy.

Also started solids yesterday & so met my best buddy Meg for lunch at Applebees.  I had dijon chicken with some veggies & potatoes.  Ate about 1/4 of the chicken, little tiny bites at a time & one small potato.  It was all so good & had plenty of leftovers!

I have been managing to get in my 64oz of fluids every day, eating my protein & taking all my vitamins.

Oh & my incisions are healed, which means I can now take baths or go in a pool!

As always, any questions, just ask me!

Starting mushy foods!

Hoorah, day 22 yesterday and I started pureed & mushy foods.  Was so nice to have something other than water, gatorade & protein shakes!

I had a chike banana protein shake for breakfast, about 2-3oz of 2% cottage cheese for mid morning snack.  About 3oz of tuna with light mayo for lunch.  A boiled egg mushed up with light mayo for afternoon snack.  Then some more cottage cheese for dinner.

All the food tasted so good as I hadn't food for a while, so the tastes were overwhelmingly good!

I weighed myself today & had lost 1.2lbs, which made me happy!
Have kind of been at a stall for 8 or 9 days, so felt good to lose finally.  Hope it continues on.
