I am starting into week 4. Blended foods. I don’t really feel full. Rather I flat out lose interest in the food. It takes so long to eat anything, that by the time I get to it- it is cold and I don’t want it any more. I have bought a baby food warmer, I am hoping that will help.

I was concerned that blended foods and liquids are now going down so easily. My nutritionist recommended starting to work soft foods in during week 4. So, convinced that my sleeve isn’t working and I will be the only person in the free world that bariatric surgery does not work for…..I decided to try a hot dog tonight. Not a real hot dog mind you- I am not that crazy.

I warmed up 1 fat free ballpark frank in the microwave. I was so excited. I will be able to eat this whole wiener I just know it!

I managed…almost half. Wow. Yes I got in two little bites before the darn thing went cold on me. Nothing worse than a cold wiener.

I had been very sick the past couple of days. I got busy at work and just neglected to eat. I got to the end of the day and realized that I had had only about 25g of protein a day and around 200 calories. Not good. Not to mention my water intake was half what it should be.

I repaired on Sunday. I took more naps than a new born. I ate and drank and ate some more. I managed 700 calories that day and hit my 60g protein goal and 64oz water goaI l for the first time since my surgery.

I feel so much better today. Perhaps that is why I was convinced that I could take on that wiener.

Alas, it is nearly 7pm and I am still 7g shy on my protein and about 4oz shy on my water. The water I figure I can pull off. Not sure about that protein.

I have lost from 245 day of surgery to 227. i go walking every single day. I find that I am looking forward to it. 18lbs Not great, but not too shabby. I am wearing pants that I haven’t been able to wear in 3 years…and they are falling off of me. I am not losing belly- but that butt is going away fast. I am not worried. I have always had enough booty for 3 or 4 people.
