Lisa?  Donna?  How r u 2 doing?

Yesterday wasn't horrible.  I had a small bowl of turkey soup with veggies for dinner - other than that I followed the diet precisely.  Today so far so good..coffee and carnation instant breakfast.

I made my own cream of potato soup which was wicked good.  Boiled potato, skim milk and chicken soup unjury powder.  That's for lunch today.

I did have a slip last night and had a yeast roll with my soup......Just one though....I used to be able to eat 4 or 5 of them.

I am down 2 lbs as of this morning.

How are you doing??

Hanging in there.  I went a little off track yesterday but am back on today.  I had a slim fast high protein for breakfast.  Lunch looks like a cup of broth w/chicken and veggies in it.  Dinner??  salad or shake I guess.....I TIRE of salad ;)  I'm still only down the 4 pounds and find the scale to be annoying.

The scale sucks but someone mentioned our body going into survival mode and it does...we are eating so much less it's gonna be harder for that number to come down.  Remember the main reason is to shrink the liver so it's not so fatty...we can't see that progress on the scale.  Only the surgeons will see that.

My list said we could have homemade custard.  So I made a homemade pumpkin custard with splenda.  Basically I followed the one pie pumpkin pie recipe and substituted splenda for the sugar - added extra spices.  It actually uses less eggs than the homemade custard recipe (half) ...It was freaking awesome.  Don't know if it's a legal item technically but I can't stomach regular custard - YUCK.  I will probably hold off having salad for a couple of days and stick to the soup for now. 

OK, I did it!  I had a good food day!
