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:

Yesterday:

B-oatmeal with brown sugar and ff half-n-half.

L-Black Bean and salsa chicken with rice, cheddar cheese, tomato and avocado.

D-Homemade vegetable soup with 1 slice homemade w.w. bread.

This doesn't include my afternoon snacking that I know I need to cut back on. I must do better on that. I think that's why my weight is stalled because I'm grazing all afternoon.

Today so far:

B-2% cottage cheese

To finish off my day:

Lunch: Same as yesterday's dinner, soup with w.w. bread.

Dinner: Homemade chicken Pot Pie with w.w. biscuit on top.

Snacks: not too bad today. I had a couple small handfuls of cinnamon almonds (the sugary kind) and about 1.5 oz of dark chocolate, oh and some little conversation hearts. Unfortunately this is an improvement.

Breakfast - Western Omelete

lunch - Fried Rice

Supper - Fried Catfish and Onion Rings

Last Day before going on Pre-op diet

Yesterday

B: 1/4c cottage cheese

L: 1/4c chicken salad; apple (well, most of it)

D: most of a small chicken breast with pineapple salsa

S: 1/4c soy nuts; ff pudding

Started (or rather re-started) measuring things EXACTLY. It is amazing how over time the measures start to become 'rounded' then 'heaping'....

Honest, this last fill really seems to be doing the trick...I'm not PBing, I can eat things, but I just don't have the same hunger.

That sounds really great... I love black bean. I tend to more use it for my asian dishes though.

Me? Well same old same. liquids during the day and a good dinner. Last night I had a tuna fish sandwhich on wheat with FF cheese and a little soup. Ooops yeah I had some chips and popcorn too. Grrr... Not a perfect day but heck, I'm not perfect.

Hi

I've been really struggling especially in the evening as I have an empty band.

Yesterday

Am =Protein shake

snk =mushrooms

lunch =cheese string 2 slices ham and salad

pm = protien shake ( running all night with kids)

Today so far

am =Protein Shake

Lunch = 4 fish sticks 1/4 cup baked Beans

Yesterday

B: choc-banana Protein shake (I wish I didn't need the occasional shake, but my band is too tight in the morning to allow eating...I miss my eggs!)

L: 1/4c cottage cheese with pineapple chunks

S: 1/4 cup soy nuts

D: 1 oz low fat cheese; 2 slices ham

S: ff pudding (with Protein powder mixed with it)

Yesterday...not a great day in that I didn't eat at regular intervals, but i don't think I went over in the calories. Weekends are just difficult for me.....

Woke up and forgot to eat until about noon...had some cheese and a few tbsp of Peanut Butter. Licked the spatula from my baking (oops:blushing:) a few times, but then ate a proper bandster dinner - few ounces chicken, 1/4c carrot coins, few tablespoons of rice.

Didn't feel hungry -- must have been the lickin's...

OMG I was so bad this weekend. Shame on me! I need a fill, and I'll get one on the 20th of this month. It's so embarrassing how much I can eat even. Well, truth is I can only eat half what I used to. I really don't like being super tight either, so just a little pop will be nice.

Best wishes to all!

So today I'm doing all liquids until dinner, in which case I'll have one BBQ rib, one scoop of Mac & Cheese and a healthy serving of veggies for dinner. Yum!

Yesterday:

B: 1 oz low fat cheese; 1 banana

L: 1 oz low fat cheese; 1 apple

D: chickpea and garlic veg (1cup)

S: ff yogurt

Yesterday

B: ff yogurt, most of an apple

L: chickpea salad (1c), ff yogurt

S: 1 oz low-fat cheese

D: turkey soup 1/2 c;

S: 1 container endamame

I seem to be talking to myself....anyway, yesterday's menu:

B: ff yogurt

S: 1 oz low fat cheese

L: turkey soup (1 c); most of an apple

D: chickpea salad; ff pudding

S: popscicle

When I don't post it means I had a bad day. Not good as I have only posted a couple of times.

Breakfast= turkey stick

I will keep posting - it helps me to monitor what Im eating and stay on the plan...

yesterdays B - ff yogurt, apple (they take about an hour to eat now!)

L: 1 oz turkey, 1/2c mixed veg

D: 1c Pasta with meat sauce; small salad with 2 tbsp dressing

S: ff pudding - and only 1 serving!

Once again, the weekend is not my friend....

Saturday B: hardboiled egg; sliced tomato

L: bowl of homemade turkey Soup

D: a few slices of chicken breast - and then the PBing started. I have no idea what started it, but it happened all night. I would try to relax, but of course the more I tried, the more tense I got!! I think I threw up things I haven't eaten yet...:thumbup:

Sunday B: tried a smoothie - nope, up it came

L: tried a yogurt - no siree

D: yogurt - nope.

Managed to drink lots of fluids, and that was good...

Today I treid to drink a smoothie before heading to the Y, but nope. I should have known better - I cannot have anything first thing in the morning. I hope things improve over the day.
