Omggg. Pears sound so good right now lol.

I'm definitely going to pick up one of those rotisserie chickens for my first meat meal then possibly some ground bison and pulse it in the blender a couple times.

So excited for next Thursday lol

I find myself fantasizing about food. And no, I don't mind if it's only four ounces of food... That still sounds awesome. I just want real food! Four more days....

I've decided to stop weighing everyday. Although I think it's a mistake... I'm gonna try it. I don't want to get discouraged if I don't lose from one day to the next on the other hand weighing everyday keeps me on point so idk... It's tricky. Thoughts?

[thisfathasgot2go 235]

Pre-op I weighed in weekly using my NUT's scale. Now I weigh myself daily. I lost about 2 lbs a week pre-op. I am now losing 1 lb every two days. I think I can handle the stalls and inconsistency, but I know that we are susceptible to depression so maybe counter your need to weigh with doing a Leslie Sansone five minute walk or something else?

[thisfathasgot2go 235]

I am not dreaming of food yet. I watch the food network and get my fill of food prep and although I would love to eat now, I hope to make good choices in the future. It is hard, but we can overcome this. Thursday is scaring me cause I don't want to puke.

I just had something delicious. Strained cream of chicken and mushroom Soup. Campbell's. Instead of Water I used low sodium chicken broth. It was really good

God bless you all thru your transitions

Finding something yummy makes a BIG difference. I have enjoyed my Soup choices, especially a line that I have only found at Whole Foods (I see they are available in Sprouts and Bristol Farms too), called IMAGINE. Glad to know you found a good one too!

So yesterday I did pretty crappy I don't mean that I over ate I mean I couldn't stomach a Protein shake so I had broth two times and a yogurt and that was it. I woke up exhausted today obviously lack of energy.

I've done well today two Protein shakes, broth and I'll try to have a yogurt or some Jell-O before bed I also have done OK on my Water today.

T minus two days to real food...
