My jaws need to chew!

Almost a week now since my surgery and although I'm not hungry I SOOOOOOOOOO need to chew something! Beginning to understand how sometimes your head is hungry. I cooked breakfast for 12 people today and I could have killed for a sausage! But on a positive note I knew I couldnt 'just have a one' so I didnt. Eventually I triumphed over temptation. SomethingI woul dnever have done before my band. I feel thinner today so was naughty and got on the scales. I promised myself I was only go to get on the scales once a month but I couldn't resist. 6LBS down :eek: Cant wait until I'm adding a big fat zero after that! Also managed to increase my water intake today. I filled a one litre bottle and carried it everywhere with me. Its suprising how quickly it goes when you are taking sips all of the time. Much easier than having to go to the fridge. Gonna try and get 2 litres down 2morro.

    I only eat a lot of protein. Including the sausage you cooked for 12 LOL, I follow the Adkins with an exception, more carbs. I have at least 50-60 grams per day and I have a protein shake everyday in the morning. Love it, either strawberry or choclate! I use body Fortress Brand from Wal-Mart, Whey Protein, Low Carb too and so Delicious, taste like a milkshake and they have come out with cookies n creme now, can't wait to try it, down 82 lbs in 9 1/2 months!
