Whatcha eating today VSGers...Thursday!!!
Such an enabler :) Every hour, i get closer to convincing myself :-p I better stop eating **** so I can make sure I can actually fit into. I guess there's no bigger motivation to maintain my weight lol - i need to fit in my car! I can buy bigger clothes but I cant buy a bigger car :-p

LOL, I totally thought this before when I got in a car wreck and decided just to get a really small Toyota Corolla so I wouldn't have payments anymore. I felt like Big Bertha rolling out of that car every day. HAHA!
Ms Shell, excellent post as always. As I read it I immediately applied it to being sleeved and in my first six months postop. This is My Big Chance, after decades of almost total failure (almost), and it's a good reminder to do this well, as it is most definitely worth doing. :)
1: three egg whites fried in scant Pam, two Jimmy Dean turkey sausage links
2: two Sargento RF string cheese sticks
3: .75 c 1% cottage cheese
4: 4 oz canned chicken, 1 LC RF cheese wedge, .25 c green beans (which for some strange reason I have come to LOVE postop -- go figure)
vitamins: on track
fluids: catching up, going for 80 oz
exercise: recumbent bike
It works out to 4-6 oz by volume, depending on what I'm eating. As an example, today's canned chicken will be measured by weight, not by volume, and measures to about a half-cup. I can slowly eat the 6 oz of cottage cheese with no problem, but that shouldn't be surprising. :)
At my one postop nutrition appointment so far I was told to work up to 8 oz by volume. I almost fell off the chair. Don't want to do that yet.
Everything I eat and drink is logged into MFP ahead of time or changed if cir****tances cause a change in what's eaten.
You're much further out than I am. What are you able to eat at a meal? (Congratulations on your progress, BTW!!)
