8 days post op

It feels like I have been on this journey a while now and I have just begun. I have lost 30lbs so far. 10 on my own 14 lbs on the liquid diet and 6 more since the band. 99 more lbs to go. I have been on a stall though, no weight lost in 2 days. I started my mushy diet yesterday and I feel like I am not getting in enough calories. I was bad today after all of my meals and only having 640 calories for the day I ate rice crispies cereal. I love cereal so much and it is my weakness! I have been tracking my calories on sparkpeople and it makes me feel like I'm not getting near enough carbs and fats in. I know that our requirements are different but it just seems really unhealthy. So I talked my self into eating a whole serving of carbs. It tasted soooo good. But then of course I had "dumping syndrome" which really as awful as it sounds wasn't so bad b/c I have been so constipated since the surgery. Killed two birds with one stone I guess, I feel like a million bucks now.:thumbdown:
