My day has not started off well at all!!!! Our alarm didnt go off, so we had 15 minutes to get ready and leave for work. In turn I missed breakfast... and it's been downhill from there LOL Ive left my crystal lite and have been trying straigh****er today--- it doesnt hurt like it did just newly post-op. On the good side the sharp stabbing pains Ive had while healing are much less today! woo hoo. Fluids: 15oz water Breakfast: None-- I know bad bad Snack: 2oz Hummus, wedge of laughing cow cheese & 4 soy crisps (Yes AGAIN) Fluids: 8oz water Lunch: 3oz Chilli Fluids: 10 oz water Snack: String Cheese Fluids: 16oz water Dinner: Thinking about having some more left over chilli. Probably more water after dinner...

Fluids: not good today so far, about 20 OZ. Breakfast: Profect protein Lunch: right now I'm eating the grill chicken off a McDonald's grilled chicken salad. Dinner: you guys keep talking about chili and now I'm craving it! SLM

Today was first day back on regular foods. Cream of Wheat for Breakfast Sliced Turkey and Colby Jack cheese for lunch Tonight gonna try to grill some filet mignon and see how that goes down. I've missed red meat. Wish me luck!

Hi Scott, Good luck with the Filet Mignon. I grilled a piece of sirloin steak (about 1" thick) and I did it medium rare, making sure I didn't sear it on the outside so it wouldn't get a hard outer layer. It went down beautifully. I didn't weigh it, but the length and width of the piece I ate was about 2.5" X 5", minus the excess fat. It was absolute HEAVEN! Oh, and I marinated it for about 3 hours so it would soak up and stay moist while cooking - you know the grill tends to dry meat out. Bon Apetite!

Bad eating day for me. I tried cashews and unfortunately they tasted too good. I consumed 2 ounces before it was all said and done. The chicken I tried to eat tonight was too dry for some reason. Maybe it's because it is two days old. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
