I had another great weigh-in and updated my signature. I'm in the 80s in kg, in Onederland in pounds, and just plain morbidly obese! Plus I think I weigh less than my husband, who is a foot taller than me.

You're doing fantastically well Misty. Congrats! :)

How many kilos is that Misty?im about a week behind you and haven't lost for week and half.

I've lost 9 kg in a month. :)

I had training today (and tomorrow) off-site. This facility has awesome catering. I was able to eat morning tea and lunch and only ate a snack I has brought for lunch. Here is what I had and I didn't feel sick at all.

Breakfast at home: 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 small banana

Morning tea: a tangerine and about 1/3 of a sausage roll

Lunch: a prawn, a few bites of baked chicken (pretty moist and I took tiny bites), a crouton, a bit of boiled egg, half a thin slice of salami, a couple noodles from a noodle salad, small piece of tomato, small piece of capsicum. And one bite of strawberry cake. I logged all this and it was about 130 calories.

Afternoon snack: 2 cheese sticks (instead of a timtam)

I will probably just have the last of my purée chicken with some gravy for dinner. I will end up just over 800 calories.

I listed this to show people what they might be able to look forward to. I know some people don't tolerate this stuff.

One thing is that I have been able to tolerate Water but now that I'm on solids water tastes bitter. :(

Thank you misty.Your food diaries are a big help with what to expect.Congratulations on the weight loss so far.

I'm glad it helps! For dinner I had one egg, very gently scrambled, 3 g of mozzarella, and 40 g of salsa. It was filling but again no trouble.

Keep in mind that my dietitian told me I don't need to do a specific soft food stage, but just chew everything very well and avoid dry meat for a while. Some people wouldn't try raw veggies yet. I haven't had much of any one solid food. Maybe that's why I have tolerated everything well. His chewing guideline is don't swallow until every chunk is smaller than a single pea. Also I stopped eating lunch when everyone else was done. I just ate a lot less.

How's everyone going?? Been a bit quiet this week.

Wasn't going to have a good funeral but have been counting down my "last meals". 3 days in Central QLD and then off to NZ for 3 nights next week so going to have my fill of eating out for sure. Mum is coming to cook for me even Sunday night!

That's a funny typo. :) Just so you know you can edit your post if you click near the top of it.

I have been in training the past two days, and I'm taking tomorrow as a holiday. We are going camping at Noosa north shore!

I have had no problem at all eating solid food. I had chicken salad tonight with some diced capsicum and onion and had no trouble even though some people seem to have trouble with raw veg. I have had meat and crackers and a bit of rice and avocado and boiled egg. I don't know if I am just lucky or what, but I'm just taking everything slowly and in tiny bites and chewing well. I had a couple mini quiche today for morning tea even!

Managing to stay under 900 calories right now even though I could definitely eat many more if I chose the wrong foods.

Lots of Last Suppers!!! You will be able to enjoy all your favourites with the sleeve, but in small quantities. I say enjoy the quantities while you can if you want to as it will be the last time you will be able to. A mental saying goodbye to feasting.

Lol! Did a big double take reading this one Brendani :))

Starting to fight the urge to 'last supper' myself. I know that I will eventually eat just about everything I like after the sleeve - just in teensy portions. All those years of dieting and calorie counting have done my head in.

Don't deprive yourself of that last meal :) I did abd used to regret it. Couldn't care less these days though lol
