18 days out...

Aug 26, 2010

So far , so good.  No problems at all yet.  I am walking 2+ miles a day, getting my vitamins and protein in everyday, I've been back at work for over a week and as of this morning I weighed EXACTLY 300 lbs.  As happy as I am with losing 25+ lbs since surgery AND no longer being classified as "morbidly obese", couldn't it have read 299.something?  Heh, I know tomorrow I will be there, its just my first milestone so i can't wait.. 

I have a picnic to go to this weekend.  I am making my "famous" potato salad that everyone seems to love.  No one wanted me to bring anything, but i would have felt funny if I didn't so I volunteered.  I am still on nothing but liquids, but I am so tempted to bring some pureed food to eat there.  Something like baked ricotta, mozzerella and sauce.  Yesterday I tried cauliflower with feta and a bit of milk all pureed up.  It was like mashed potatoes and tasted wonderful.  I ate 4 bites over about 20 minutes, each about 1/3 teaspoon.  I was feeling a heaviness in my chest, so I assumed I was full.  It really helped because I have been really hungry lately.  That is all I had and it really hit the spot.  No issues at all.  I am supposed to start pureed foods next Wednesday, but I really needed something.  I will try to lay off until Wednesday (except, possibly, for this weekend), just in case.  I really want to avoid problems.  If anyone has any different advise, please let me know.  I might post about this on the forum just in case.
