  1. Omg, y'all, today is day 1 of my 2 week liquid only diet and I am freaking starving!! I've had 3 Protein Shakes and chicken broth and I am tired, grumpy, and downright hangry! Friends, please tell me it gets easier?!

    It does, try SF popsicles, it was a life saver for me! Stay with it, about day three I wasn't starving anymore.

  2. Stats first:
    HW 427.4 (Jan. 2)
    SW: 413 (Feb. 15)
    Last week: 378.4
    Today: 372.8
    So, down 5.6 since last week, 40.2 since surgery, and 54.6 overall.
    The last week has been semi-hellish, and I finally started feeling better yesterday. Advanced to regular foods on Thursday, dumped twice, and missed work Friday and Monday (and was miserable over the weekend) due to bowel issues -- likely the beginning stages of a bowel obstruction forming. Averted that, thankfully, but it took a lot of Miralax and stool softeners. I haven't really been able to "enjoy" the regular food stage yet because of those issues (I reverted back to a liquid/super soft diet while I was having issues) and I was afraid to eat last night, but I managed to eat a baked chicken tender with cheese without any problems. Then I made some deviled eggs (the only way I like eggs) with low-fat mayo and pickle relish, and my stomach said "absolutely not!" after just one bite, so now my mom has some deviled eggs she can eat.
    Today, I started mixing Benefiber in with my morning Protein Shake, and within 15 minutes of drinking it, my body was already reacting, like "Fiber? What's THAT?!?!?" I've been doing pretty well at getting my liquids and Protein in, and I'm averaging 350-500 calories a day.

    So sorry, you haven't had good week. Hopefully this week will be way better! You have done fabulous on your weight though!!! Congrats!!!
