I'm craving guacamole!!

Isnt the strangest thing....of all things mashed potatoes! I don't really ever eat mashed potatoes lol

I'm feeling extremely tired today. My mom left this morning to go back home, so maybe it's just that combined with my body recovering. I'm having a really hard time with my protein. I just hate the protein shakes so much. I'm just kind of blah today. Tomorrow will be better.

My hubby and I are having a lazy morning at the hotel today. I am feeling very well and I have been able to get more liquids in everyday. We will take a walk on Mission Beach later this afternoon and then go to a Peruvian restaurant that my husband wants to try.

How many calories has everyone been getting in daily? Yesterday I was at 298. I am not sure what is normal for this first week or even aid it should matter. I am logging everything in My Fittness Pal, but since everything is a liquid I'm not sure if I should just add everything up and add it under Water also?

I am only taking my thyroid med, antibiotics, antiacid, and Tylenol before bed. No diabetes medicine since day 2 after surgery!!

I hope everyone has a good day!! Headed home tomorrow morning on a 5.5 hour flight. Looking forward to being in my own bed.

I'm happy for the no meds for diabetes!!! That's awesome hon. I also have no idea on calories. My doc/nut don't do calorie based. They want us to learn to listen to our bodies and of course make the good choices in what we eat.

I've had a blah day diet wise today too. I really want some good tasting broth but have yet to find any. The hospital broth was the best I've had so far. Funny huh?

I don't like mashed potatoes, but if I could, I'd eat mashed potatoes now!!! lol. The craving to eat has been pretty hard today. I keep telling myself, just one more day, then I get to have cream of wheat, refried beans, fish, shrimp, and good creamy soup. Can't wait!!!

You can do it!!! ?

So, a friend swung by to visit me today. First thing she says is "your face is getting slimmer". I say "seriously, really?" It hasn't been that long at all! But for someone who hasn't seen me for a couple of weeks, I'll take that compliment. ?

I guess I will ask my nut. I feel like I need some kind of guide line to follow because I definitely don't trust myself. My biggest problem was portion control before surgery.
