Great idea Blessed...

Today I'm NOT eating. Today I start the liquids

Day 3: Mushies/pureed

Day 4: Soft foods

Day 5: Solids

So it's a compacted post op regimen. I almost finished one a few months ago.. got through day two and fell off. I know I can do it, and now especially since I feel more determined.

I won't exercise through today and tomorrow. My body needs rest right now, and I will likely feel a bit weak too.

Okay so its on! Mmmm... Isopure

:wink2:

For Breakfast (consumed about 3 hours after waking) a choc-Peanut Butter Protein shake.

lunch I am having a 9 bean veg Soup - lots of protein, and lots of chewing!

For dinner - last nights chicken with rice leftovers, probably a sugar-free pudding too

Tomorrow is fill day - FINALLY AND YAHOO!!! so my menu will be very limited....

tapshoes I hear ya! Yesterday was replacement fill for the 3ml I had taken out just before Christmas for my big stuck episode. Since then I have been able to eat anything in any quantity!

Today I am on a new road. Since being able to eat anything and cheating for the most part of three or four months I am going to get myself right again.

Today I ate and will eat the usual sort of breaky and lunch with a different dinner:

B: Porridge with banana

L: Cottage cheese with fruit (today it is mixed berries)

D: Grilled fish with salad.

With this refiill I already feel better. I have restriction again and I am not hungry and looking for something to put in my mouth every minute.

I have to work on the physiological side of my eating behaviour now.

Again, not eating today. :tongue:

Well, I'm definitely not posting what I ate yesterday but let's see if shame can help me eat better today so I can post. Maybe this is just what I need to get my eating back in line and the scale moving down at a nice pace. Thanks.

Yesterday was fill day, so it was a Protein shake in the morning, and then one lst night before I went to bed. Today is Protein Shake for breakfast - which I couldn't drink until 4 hours later....that's a first! lunch and supper will be creamed Soups and yogurt.

This is the first time that after a fill, I have not been able to have my breakfast within 30 minutes of getting up in the morning. I am used to starting my day with coffee, then having my breakfast within a half hour before I head to the Y. Today, no such luck...felt kinda weak at the Y but worked through it.

Okay, I'm gonna eat today. Later though, and you know what? I'm gonna enjoy it. I know my stomach has shrunk because I'm feeling full on just liquids.

My pants feel like they want to fall off but the scale is still stuck at 243. Well, that's okay. Like I just mentioned in another thread, if it takes me five years to get to goal I'm okay with that. I'll get there.

I've been avoiding this thread like the plague. I'm losing weight slowly but I really don't know why. Maybe it's that I don't have much time to eat and I'm doing a lot of work with moving my husband and getting his wheelchair in and out of the car and set up. Anyway, thought if I posted what I ate yesterday it might shame me into getting back on track. It's just so very hard when I've been so busy to take the time to cook. It's so easy to reach for take out or fast food.

half a blueberry sour cream muffin

l - half a plate from Afgan restaurant's buffet

pomegranate juice

d- 3 BBQ ribs, blueberry brown sugar pancake with orange sour cream
