My weight loss has slowed down considerably. Since the 18th I have lost only 3 lbs. But I know that with the holidays and my change in diet ( little more substanial food ) thats to be expected for me. I need to be a little more vigilant about things.

Now with that being said, I am also fighting coming to terms with the loss of my "friend " and companion --- Food . Obviously, I loved food, I love watching cooking shows, the smell, the differnt tastes, textures, it was my ...

Tuesday the 18th I went in for check up weight was 255.7 . Graduated to thicker stuff like mashed potato applesauce etc. I have started drinking Orange flavored vitamin water.

But I have since discovered, its my stomach telling me I am hungry. I expected to not feel much or any hunger for a while yet. But ...
