I average about 800 cal/day, sometimes a little higher. I have a lot of variety so a typical day is hard to say. One item is pretty steady - I usually have about 24 oz of Mootopia skim milk per day and that is like 42 g protein. Anyone with an HEB can get Mootopia. Its lactose free, and higher in calcium and protein (14g per 8 oz I think). I get a lot of protein and liquid from that. I also try to have a serving of meat at least once per day, or cheese if meat doesn't agree. Usually its chicken. I love thai chicken soups or vietnamese chicken soups and both are low cal and rich in veggies and flavor. My main vice is 2-4 whole grain crackers with cream cheese before bed. I also discovered sugar free chocolate, and that will be outlawed for a while. Sometimes I have Kashi go lean or Greek yogurt. I like fruit and have a little, but it can make me dump. The other main staple is silk vanilla soy (plus fiber) mixed with strongly brewed chai tea.

I thought it was a cool thing to record... but it will be nice to see out total weight loss as a group.

I have been losing slow as it was...I just know I will never get to my goal weight. OK OK enough of this pity party.. Pre-Op:318 Surgery Date:8-20-07 Current Weight:267 Total Loss:51

It seems like I am losing about 5 pounds per week. This is amazing to me! It's weird because I was so used to seeing the scale at 280s then when I got used to 260s I wasn't satisfied until I hit 250s, and so on. I am looking forward to seeing the lower numbers.
