Week 2 Soups (NOT!!!)

Jul 09, 2009

I was so excited yesterday because I could start my cream soups. I made carrot soup and it was delicious, I posted the recipe, for sure at lunch time I was going to lick the bowl clean. HA!!! I was wrong 4 sips and I felt like I ate bricks. So went downstairs to the little cafe and the only soup they had was corn chowder. I thought drink the broth and nothing else. Well 3 sips later I was dying stomach hurt, esophagus hurt even my freaking jaw hurt. I was like this for 3 hours. Finally it went down about 5PM.Later my DH took me to out to eat so I order a tomato basil soup, no harm in that right? You know it. I about died again. I don't think I am ready for colorful soups. After dinner I went home and started my Grilled Veggies and Asparagus Soup. I cooked it and pack it for lunch. Today the same thing I guess the liquid is too thick? I could not do more than 2 spoons. I went to the cafe and order Egg White Chicken Corn Chowder. It does not have any cream or milk. I am able to drink the broth, no chicken or corn. The egg white I can do, they taste really good. The portion is a cup,  at half a cup I am full. So i put it aside and I sip a little at a time. So much for my carrot cumin soup, grilled veggies and asparagus soup, my cream of mushroom and all the soup that I love to make in the summer. Maybe next week.  Next week I start protein I hope I can do it.OOH I forgot to mention that when I went to the cafe I bought one hard boiled egg- deviled egg. Silly me I thought I was going to be able to eat it with the soup or after or for a snack. Yeah right. My eyes have yet not adjusted to the stomach. It looked so good and they make them so good that I thought I would give it a try. Right !!! I am so full right now.My liquid intake has been a piece of cake. I drink 20 ounces between 8-12 AM with some sugar free Jello.  At noon I have lunch (clear soup) and start with the next 20 ounces. I am usually done with the second bottle by 4PM. If I go out I order another soup (all have been clear soups) and then towards the end a glass of water which I normally finish.  When I get home I take my 16 ounce glass of cup and drink some herbal ice tea "Jamaica flower" and drink it while watching a movie or on I am on Internet. Before I go to bed I drink maybe 4 oz of herbal tea or water. In water/tea alone I am doing about 64 oz of water then with the soups and Jello I think 8 more ounces. So I think 72 oz of liquids. I think this is really good. I thought that I was not going to be able to drink my water like I used to. I can it just takes slower.OH I have lost one more pound. I don't loose one day then the next I loose. I think I may loose 3 pounds a week. That is awesome, I am not hungry and not excising and am loosing weight and B/S are good. I like this!!
