I know I'm a bit late but it's hard to get on here!! 1. What types of food did you eat this week? LOTS of chicken (as always), I've also discovered wheat toast with peanut butter and sliced bananas for breakfast (yum and good protein), I created chicken rosada (pink sauce on chicken with fresh broccoli and mushrooms over penne pasta - not much pasta for me though!), I'm really getting into fresh fruits/veggies now that I can tolerate all of that - grapes, broccoli, lettuce, etc. 2. What types of exercise did you do this week? Not much, sad to say... been a crazy, busy week. 3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? I lost about 5 lbs or so. I finally made it to one-derland!!! 197 on the last weigh-in (last week) So that is 65 lbs since surgery, almost 80 total (with pre-surgery loss) 4. What was your biggest challenge? Hair loss is my biggest challenge right now. I'm low on protein and calcium and my hair is coming out like crazy - thankfully I have a lot to start with, but it feels soooo thin relative to before. 5. If applicable, name something you eat/drink that makes you dump/feel bad? I don't really eat stuff that makes me dump. I haven't had too much dumping, only a couple of times, I think. Nothing really makes me sick anymore, knock on wood, but then again, I don't tempt the fates!! *Fun bonus question: If you could have any superhero's skills, what would your superhero ability be? Either to read minds (if I could turn it on/off) or to be invisible!!
