### 05/16 What Did Ya Eat Today?

Hi Guys!!!! Im having a better day, although breakfast was kind of gross. I still don't have much desire to eat but Ive been able to force myself to choke some stuff down today. Money is tight for the next few weeks so Hubby and I have been discussing how we can make things go further and get cheaper stuff. We waste so much because neither or us eat much, we need to start freezing a lot of things. Breakfast: Went to the Hospital Cafeteria before my appt. Got a breakfast sandwich and ate a few bites of egg, cheese and sausage.. it wasn't very good. Snack: 6oz Raspberry Dannon Lite & Fit Lunch: Got a small chicken ceaser salad from the cafeteria, ate a few peices of lettuce, about an oz of chicken, a few croutons & parmesan cheese w/ the ceaser dressing. I have enough left over for like 4 more meals LOL Snack: String Cheese. Dinner: Im thinking of taking my leftover salad home and maybe eating more of that. Im not doing great with water, still on my 2nd bottle... I better get started on some more huh?

I've done a little bit better today, thankfully. B - 4 oz vanilla yogurt L - cheese stick D - 2 oz grilled pork chop Gonna have a protein chai tonight before bed as well. Doing pretty good on liquids - about 40 oz so far. Tina

As of now, it isnt dinner time, but will be in a couple hours. Im not feeling real good after my lunch, but heres my current eats today. b- 6 oz strawberry/ vanilla protein shake with 2 tbs of benefiber (this is my daily breakfast) L- 1/2 cup crab salad. dont know why, but Im not feeling good after this. Ive had it before and was fine. Maybe I am becoming one of those people that cant eat right after waking. I had taken a nap and got up and immediately ate. I still have no energy. D- will be about 2 oz rib eye steak and maybe part of a salad. S- I have another protein shake nightly just to make sure Im getting enough protein, and my fiber to keep me regular. throughout the day, Im drinking crystal light raspberry lemonade. Will get about 60 ozs of that today. Tonight is my support group, so I will not be around later. Courtney HW 271/ SW 254/ CW 223/GW 135 My current weight was on my surgeversary date, the 3rd. I have decided NO MORE WEIGHING WEEKLY!

Breakfast: 2 unsalted crackers with 2 tsp peanutbutter and SF jelly Mid Morn: Protein Shake 30 gm Lunch: 2 wedge LC LF cheese with 4 unsalted crackers Dinner: 2 oz ground turkey, tsp mashed potato, made myself a tiny salad of lettuce and tomato w/ lowfat ranch. (it was sooooooo good) Still kind of hard to really chew up the lettuce and stuff, worried it wont be chewed well, but had a few bites of it. I miss salads!!! Eve: Getting late think I'll skip my protein shake tonight. Think I did ok today.
