Hi all, I am just sitting here playing with the clock and calendar and wondering what I'll be eating by my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. My surgery was 10-03-11, and since I'm still on liquids I feel like I am marking time to get to the next level. I walk, read, surf the net etc., but even though I know it's one day at a time, I wonder what everyone is doing to fill their days beside making shakes, pudding, and taking their vitamins. I guess going out to eat and being with friends on the wekend is out for a while. So in the meantime I will be doing _____________________. (Please fill in the blank and be nice.) THANKS!

LOL!!! Reading... I love to read!!!

I like your post! I just plugged what I ate today into Fat Secret.com... I try to keep a daily running total of my protien, carbs and calories...and excersise anyway.. I have lost 103 pounds, I still have 88 more pounds to lose and it is coming off very slowly now. However, according to Fat Secret.com if I continue eating and exercising like I am recording, I will be at my goal weight in 5 more months... Now that I can live with!!! One day at a time works great, and sometimes, just sometimes it helps to look at the big picture - for me, it helps me to know what I am doing today, in the long run, 5 months from now I am going to be so much closer to were I want to be!!!

Good Luck to you my friend

I was trying to use this site but I cant find where it says if you continue to do what you are doing, you will be at goal in X amount of months thingy. Where do you see that type of information?

At my birthday I (you) will be doing mushy stage diet, mmmm, mashed potatoes. (if its within the next 2 weeks loll .)

At Thanksgiving I will be doing the turkey and enjoying the hell out of it! Protein, protein, protein! But its the holiday so I will have a small bit of some candied yams too! (There are some really good recipies online for low sugar/carb sweet potatos too, go to Eggface!)

At Christmas I will be doing the holidays in my brand new size and loving it! I will enjoy a meal with my family and have a small desert but be mindful of my calories as I go, I don't want to over do it too much but I want to enjoy the holiday like a normal person too!
