Weigh In and New Recipe

The weigh in and if you want a great recipe let me know

 

Well weigh in not so bad, have lost 6 lbs. Doc is ok with that, says I am in the recovery stage not weight loss stage. Whatever that means and says a pound a week is acceptable.

 

It may be acceptable but I need more than that with an all liquid diet.

 

I told him about the cheats and he said I still have stitches inside and should not do it. And just for that I am on liquids for another 3 weeks.

 

Ok not just for that, but he wants to make sure I am healed completely so nothing thicker than tomato paste.

 

I have been putting everything in the smoothie maker anyway.

 

If anyone likes Chili's Southwestern Veg Soup, I have come up with a simple homemade version that has 220 calories per 8 oz serving and would be happy to share the recipe.

 

I have found it quite refreshing over canned broths.

 

Just let me know if there is interest and I will post it the next time I am on.

 

I will go for my first fill on Oct 21. Then the second one will be 1 month later. After that, I call him when I have plateued and am not losing weight. He says I have to take control of this.

 

Thanks for all of the encouragement and support you all have offered and I love to hear your stories and follow up with you.

Chin up we can do this together:thumbup:
