Blessing!

So,what I thought was a problem might turn out to be a blessing.

 

I dont know how big or how small the dr made my stomach...what can I do about it at this point anyway?

 

The fact that I can drink so much more and with such ease might turn out to be a blessing.I think if it is difficult to drink that in the long term,people will drink less.

 

In summer it gets up to 50 degrees celcius ( 130 farnheit) here in Dubai and you need plenty of water to not cook in summer.

 

I also know that I will use the next 12 months to teach myself how to eat and apreciate less but quality foods,for the rest of my life.

 

In the next few weeks I will join OA and I will seek the help of a therapist if neccessary.

 

This will not be just another food limited low carb diet.

 

At the moment I am struggling to do the protein.I am still on full liquids and the yogurt,soup and protein powder (1 scoop) does take me to 600 cals or more but not to 60g of proteins per day.

Must say,eating will be better for getting the amount of protein per day.

9 oz of fish,poultry and meat or eggs per day will give you the right amount of protein,I think.

 

You live,you learn!I dont know how to stay in the calorie limits.I DONT KNOW WHY!

Glad to hear you are doing ok, beautiful. Lots of oscillating fans in the summer, or perhaps take a trip somewhere cooler? Like the antarctic? :P My surgery is coming up in a few days...I am really scared. A LOT. I spoke to a buddy of mine and I am going to maybe hook up with you guys to bombard you with questions. Hubby is much more on board now so feeling happier. Am going to tell mum and aunt tomorrow via email - helps me collate my thoughts much better - so does blogging! Much love to you my dear xxx

I think I've read about people adding flavorless protein powder to increase protein amounts (like to your yogurt and broth, etc.) Being able to drink plenty of water is always a good thing. You are very mindful about making this life change. I know you'll do great - overcoming each obstacle.
