Hi kells. Sorry no post. Had to return to work. That and family consumes my day. Monday is my saturday, so i am grabbing a few minutes for me . I have had 1 protein shake per day and have incorperated creme of wheat w / splenda, mashed potatoes, green beans, egg beaters w/ small amount of mild cheddar cheese (made into an omlette), fish ( which is big accomplishment for me because I DO NOT LIKE FISH) and liquids constantly when not eating. I set a timer for 30 minutes when I am at home so I dont drink to soon lol. My doc said to start trying chicken thursday or friday so looking forward to that. I have to admit I have put a coupleof cheeze its and cheese balls ( taste like cheetos) in my mouth that I was serving 1 year old grand daughter for a snack and about 2 or 3 nibbles off real bacon that was fixed for rest of familys breakfast.

The weight thing is tricky because of the dehydration factor. I quickly went down 12 lbs ( in like 8-9 days) and since then have tettered right around 15 lbs lost for last 4-5 days. But people alteady notice in my face and tummy, so it must be true WE ARE LOOSING WEIGHT LOL? Fun part will be not gaining it back lol.

How are you doing? Hope to hear from you soon. Gotta run some errands or I would bend your ear more..
Thanks for being a weightloss buddy!!!!

Kells,
I also am feeling pretty good. Have been off pain meds since Sunday ( not by chioce lol, my daughter went to pick up refill on Sunday and insurance would not cover till today so I concluded if I could go 3 days without it why refill it ). I cleaned most of my house today and now a little tired. I am still on "clear liquids" but have slipped off the path with protein shakes ( low fat/sugar ) some bean juice from my husbands awsome pinto beans a few small bites of sf pudding. WAIT NEWS FLASH just talked to drs office... now on mushies ... later muchie time!!! :-)

Hope u r doing well, my surgery was also on tbe 20th. I am still on clear liquids bud did have to ad protein shake due to hunger issues. It helpped so far. Had it twice today (4 oz in a.m. and 2 oz in p.m.) and now think I willmake it through 1more day of clear liquids.
