2 Weeks out and almost 50 lbs gone

Oct 22, 2010

Hey everybody,

Im 2 weeks and a day out and I feel great.  Still having some issues with energy levels, but I honestly havent been geeting anywhere near the amount of protein they suggest in everyday.  I am starting today with some protein drinks, I have found I like the Atkins drinks the best (Carmel Latte and Milk Chocolate are my favs), so hopefully my energy levels pick up.  I am taking the flinstones chewables everyday and occasionally a Prevacid from my doc.  I have no issues getting in fluids except plain water is hard to stomach.  I find the more i drink the more diarhea I have so im not sure thats a great thing.  I started on soft foods last night with some stewed tomatoes and rice.  Couldn't eat much of them but they were deliscious.  I was eating grits and mashed potatoes before but in very small quantities.  I am planning a meal tonight with the family consisting of cranberry chutney and cornbread stuffing with sausage, although i'll probably eat around the meat for now.  I haven't had any vomiting or overly stuffed feeling and i'm really trying to avoid that.  But on the other hand I would like to be able to eat something at a restaurant besides soup broth or mashed potatoes.  I am starting to notice my pants won't stay up without a belt and I can now wear the size 36-38 shorts I had in the closet from years ago (although they may be out of fashion).  Everyone's real supportive and I can't wait to drop some more.  Until then take care!
