I guess I wrote too much! It wouldn't let me post my whole message!

Today I ate:

breakfast: 2 egg omelet with a slice of cheese & slice of turkey.

lunch: 1 cup of ground beef/rice/tomato sauce(kind of like a stuffed pepper w/o the pepper)

dinner: soft/moist chicken breast with broccoli & lite cheese sauce.

Hey Monique! I feel the same way! I have been eating SO much less than I used to AND excersing daily & the scale has not budged in 2 weeks! I got curious to see if maybe I was taking in too many calories & started tracking EVERYTHING I put in my mouth on 'the daily plate'. As it turns out I have been taking in approximately 800-850 calories daily. I think my body is in caveman mode & thinks it's in a famine! For the last 2 days I increased my calories to 1200 per day. The scale has not changed yet but I think it wants to! ;o)

I was put on mushies at 1 week post-op & my MD said to slowly progress to softer solids then harder solids as I tolerated it. Basically right now if I can cut it with a fork, I can eat it. Nothing has given me problems. I did cheat once, I ate 2 peanut butter cups! oops, I'm only human!

I too love your blog! I wish I had the courage to start one! Here's hoping I am where you are next year!
