I think I'm doing okay. I'm gettin' there. Jen Halliday 332/321/272

I had surgery on the 11th and haven't had any issues yet (hopefully never!). Doctor had me eat nothing but jello, broth and water for 2 weeks. Monday, I ate half an egg. Since then, I've eaten some FF cottage cheese, low carb yogurt, string cheese, mini babybel, and 2 oz Boar's Head deli sliced chicken. I also tried some diluted Crystal Lite iced tea and that's making it so much easier to get my 10 glasses in a day. My doc said to keep carbs under 10g per meal. I'm definately not getting in enough protein or vitamins. The protein shakes I've bought are gross. Do you guys feel full? How do you know when you've eaten too much in a meal? I haven't found the 'full' butten yet and I'm afraid to pu**** in case it's not there. I've just been sticking to 4oz of soft food (cottage cheese, yogurt) and 2oz of solid food (like hard cheese or chicken).

It is always hard to let go of someone we love. Especially someone who has good qualities that you love. Even if the man is a total jerk, it can be hard to give up on the dream of what could have been. It has taken me years to get to the point where I can stop trying to make it work, yet I still struggle some days. You are starting a new and better life, but the old life is still there in the background. Don't hold all those feelings in, try to find a way to let them out! It will get better, but we all heal in our own time. Keep reminding yourself that you deserve to be loved fully and faithfully. Over time your mind will begin to believe that. Good Luck on your multi-faceted journey! Heidi L-S
