Down 15 lbs since surgery on June 19!!! Can't believe it!!

Jun 25, 2009

Hey there OH family! Just wanted to share my status. Yestersday I started the soft/pureed food because I was sooo hungrey with just the protein shakes. So my Nut... stated that I could start today. Man the taste of the food was wonderful. For breakfast I had cheese grits and fruit cocktail which totaled 4oz. I was full until about 5 pm. I wanted to cook dinner for my boyfriend because over the past week he has felt bad eating in front me. He is doing a 2 week cleanse so we can eat the same foods. While cooking I became hungrey so I had 2 oz of protein shake while cooking. I cooked chicken breast in fat free cream of chicken soup, mashed potatos and peas. I cooked in the cream of chicken soup to help puree the meat. with the MAGIC BULLET. At first I was scared of how it would taste but is was really good. I eat about 4 oz of food before I felt some restriction so I stopped eat.

This morning I was scared to get on the scale because I just started on solid foods. Well I lost 2 lbs yesterday. So my total lost is 15 lbs since my surgey.  I am down 15 lbs in 6 days. I am returning to work on Monday so I hope to be down 20 lbs. But my uncle passed and the funeral is in KY on Sat. So I will be leaving tomorrow returning on Sunday. I am going to pack the right foods so that I dont eat the wrong foods on the road and  to eat while at my parents so that I don't eat the wrong things.
Things that must be packed with me are the following:
1. Applesauce
2. Protein shake (parents drink the same milk therefore don't need to take that along)
3. Fruit in light syurp
4. Magic bullet to puree the foods
5. Campbell's Select harvest soup- so that I can puree the food. They contain the protein and vegs.
6. Diet White tea and water

So wish me luck.
