30 days down

[Sandra Nuelken 419]

I've finished my first month to my new life, one more week of soft foods. Any advice when I reach next week and I start regular foods. I'm almost thinking I'll stay with what I am familiar with. I've never eaten really healthy, Maybe I'll add some salmon and tuna to the mix but pretty much stay with the food I know. I am so missing my collards. I never thought I'd say that having been born in the north. I'm so happy with my choice, the first few weeks are tough, the stall will drive you crazy, it is hard not to get on the scale daily but will drive you crazy if you do. I could not have gotten through this without all of your posts and all of your collective wisdom. Thanks.

You're doing great! Congrats!

Continue with your healthy foods! Don't revert back to eating bad crap. You've now had 30days of clean living to help break that bond/habit. Right? So reverting will just re-awaken and reinforce the habit.

Add foods slowly and one at a time. That way you can see and know which food affects you and how. I added eggs first, then a couple days later, I added poached/foil pouch white fish filets. I did well with both. Then I added canned tuna and canned chicken with low cal, low carb gravy. Or made it into an egg salad:

1 pouch/can tuna in Water (or chicken/salmon/crab)

1 hard boiled egg, mashed with fork

1/4c cottage cheese (65g)

1/8c Greek yogurt (30g)

1 tsp Dijon Mustard

1 tsp dill pickle relish (optional)

granulated garlic

s/p

Mix everything together and enjoy. I started with eating 1/8c - 1/4c of this every 2-3 hours.

Congrats on the beginning of a new you !

I was the crazy lady who weighed in everyday and went nuts, but I couldn't help it. I had to know what was going on everyday. 🤣

I ate what ever I was allowed and had no problems except anything with Tomato in it tasted weird for quite awhile, but not anymore.
