BMI UNDER 40!!!

Nov 12, 2009

Hurray!! Two milestones - 30 pounds gone and BMI under 40 - Awesome!  So far so good - I've tolerated every pureed food I've tried, although I haven't tried too much - chilli, chicken salad, tuna, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, scrambled egg - I'm keeping everything at or under 2 o.z. and mostely relying on shakes to get in protein - the minimum protein I've gotten in a day since surgery is 70 - but I'm trying to keep it to 100 - I've got to work at the fluid intake since I started going down to one shake a day instead of two - I have one cup of decaf coffee in the morning (with a little half and half) - a shake throughout the morning - 2 o.z. of cottage cheese or something at lunch - sip crystal lite all day - 2 o.z. of something at dinner - and back to sipping (after the hour wait)........might not be perfect but it's working so far - I take all my supplements - accept some days I just don't want the zinc losegner  it gets on my nerves......I've only been hungry a couple times and the 2 o.z. of food satisfies me completely!

I am so thankful that things are going well and I am down 17 pounds post op (13 pre)... I'm looking forward to the WOW moments - which will probably start at about the 50 pound mark :)
