Congrats on your loss!!!

I got rid of my scale, I refuse to weigh myself unless I am at the doctor. I always allow the stupid scale do dictate how i feel. NO MORE ..lol

Topic: RE: MMMMMM

I just had some cream of celery tonight (couldn't stand broth another day) it tasted sooooooooooooo goood....looking forward to trying other kinds. I was a little hesitant because i wasn't sure if this was "cheating" today is day 7 for me and my "diet" says begining the 2nd week after surgery I could add milk, protein shakes, & SF hot coco. Does this mean pudding and creamed soups, I have no idea

. It went down just fine

Curious how much were you able to eat? I had about 4 oz then couldnt possibly take anoter bite...about an hour later had another 4 oz.

Topic: finally losing again

Hello there, after one whole week (plus a day or two) I have lost another 2 pounds. I was beginning to feel like the scale was stuck forever, but tried really hard not to obsess about it. Also, I have been writing down everything I eat and keeping track of the protein. Now, I have decided to add a daily goal. Yesterday my goal was not to eat any carbs after dinner. Since I have always struggled with the snackies after dinner, this is a good new habit for me!

Topic: RE: Looking for something to drink?

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried sooo many things. Why does everything taste so awful!!?? Things I use to love, I can't get down now. I was always a "diet" drink person so it is not new to me...but blech

The only thing i can tolerate at the moment is diet lipton tea mix..I use about 1/2 teaspon(calls for 1 tablesppon) and some splenda. Grape sugar free hawaiian punch mix again very diluted. Will get some of that diet v8 soon! Thanks!
