This is always so hard for me as recently I hate eating or thinking about food, It is just so hard. I have such a hard time getting protein in, but that is improving slow but sure. I have been on a stall for about a week and I think it is because of my protein, so I have vowed this morning I would get it up. So far i have 71 grams in and shooting for 100. I am hoping I can do it, but I am feeling all I am doing is eating and eating and eating. When I was my fattest I never felt like I ate this much. I am having to constantly think about what I am going to eat. I guess it is all because it is all new to me I am only 6 weeks out. I guess it wil work itself out sooner or later. So for dinner I think I am going to have a steak (should I say a small piece) and some veggies.
Thanks for listening.

Things will get easier!!! It's hard to believe it right now, when you are feeling lousy.. but it really will get easier to eat. Just keep following your Surgeon's protocol and do the best you can!!!!

And it may seem like you are eating more than when you were your heaviest.. but trust me. you most definatley are not.. that isn't possible this soon out of surgery!!!

Keep your chin up!!!

Thanks Renee. I think part of my problem is that my doctor has few rules. No sugar, no nuts, low fat, no candy, crackers or chips and nothing fried. I also have always been an extreemly picky eater. I have tried everything not be, but I just am and I hate that about me. I actually feel pretty good. I did way too much last weekend and it messed me up this week I think. And I have a lot on my plate. But thanks for the encouragement I really appriciate it. I do have one question. Does anyone know how many calories we are supposed to be taking in? I go from 500-1000 I wish I had a number to shoot for or to stay within.

Tonights gormet dinner consists of minestrone soup minus the minestrone. And for dessert a popsicle. That's it. Sure home Monday morning's meeting brings applesauce, cream of wheat and other delightful delectibles. Clear liquid is beginning to suck.

I decided against the corned tongue in aspic that I thought I was going to make tonight. Instead, I just finished making guacamole pancakes!!! Thanks Jenji for planting the idea in my head!
