B- small piece of grilled chicken, 20 oz. decaf. Latte w/steamed skim milk and Splenda ANOTHER 16 oz. decaf Latte w/steamed skim milk and Splenda (man, was this good this morning, had to go back for more - refills at Caribou are only 50 cents) S - cantaloupe Vitamin Water L - cheese crackers (I know, not very good choice, but it's what was handy) S - yogurt D - I'll probably have a Lean Cuisine More Vitamin Water S- strawberries and sf Cool Whip Megan, how are you doing drinking wine? My wedding is coming up October 14th, and so far I haven't tried any alchohol, but I miss my occassional drink. I was hoping I could either have a little wine for our toast (instead of champagne), or a sugar free version of a lemon drop martini (I have to find a recipe - I'm sure one exists). We're having wine, beer and a martini bar, and I'm hoping I'll be able to drink a little something. But I've been worried how I'll react. How long ago did you start having a little something to drink, and have you tried anything other than wine??

I'm not a good example to follow. I drink at least once a weekend and I have been from 5-6 weeks out from surgery. I'm a red wine drinker however I've had just about everything other then drinks with carbination (beer etc...). I tend to get "tipsey/drunk" quicker however it dosen't last very long. No side effects just less to drink. Red wine is low in calories and has no carbs, fat etc...

B-FRUIT AND 2 SAUSAGE S-I FORGOT L-LOW CARB BURGER 3 TO 4 BITES AND 5 TO 6 FRENCH FRIES S- I DON'T KNOW YET BUT I NEED TO DO A PROTIEN SHAKE AND THAT IS WHAT i AM GOING TO DO. D- SALAD AT MIMI'S CAFE

B - 1/4 C of high protein cereal with 2% milk (able to eat only a few bites) coffee with high protein cappaccino L - 1/8 C of boiled squash few bites of a meatball with tomato sauce (the sauce was delicious and went down with no issues) S - 1/4 protein bar D - who knows, but I'm starving!!! The starving feeling is new to me. I've had such a hard time with solid foods that as you can see from above, I still eat very cautiously. Because it is so unpleasant trying to get the solid foods down, I haven't had much of an appetite. I still have the "stuck" feeling a couple of times of week and that always triggers a throwing up session.

B - soft boiled egg & cheese string L - 1/2 muffin with tomato & cheese on top D - 2 slices of cheese S - coffee made with milk (home made latte I suppose) Water & hot tea to drink throughout day

Hi Kelly, Real quick note: The 48g protien shake is awesome - but 13g of that do not count. The max your body can absorb in protien in one setting (3 hours) is 35g.

Megan, Thanks alot for the info....I was totally unaware of that......good info. Kel
