Stage 4 Menu today!

Well. I have NEVER been so nervous to eat a damn scrambled egg. I woke up ten times last night, and kept dreaming I was eating no-no foods like Smart Food popcorn! I also dreamt I was on a road trip and all I could do was eat a hamburger from McD's. Maybe this means I am afraid I will revert back to my old ways....

This morning I had my egg and everything was fine :) For supper tonight, I will have an ounce of tuna salad on a cracker. THAT's exciting! 

Lucky you...i can't eat scrambled eggs.  they are too sticky going down. AND DO GET STUCK !!!!! I think it's the yolk mixed with the white makes it a spongey texture.  I can eat eggs if they are just boiled, fried but not (when the white and yolk are separate) scrambled.

Ok not fair you can do eggs!

LMAO about the popcorn- I eat it - down the road I am sure it will be part of your "yes approved" foods - I didnt do it for the longest longest time cause of staying away from too many carbs..... but its my one controlled vice!

Yuck dont I miss rotten rons...... but on a road trip I ordered the fajita - actually two of them and I had them put it in a coffee cup and throw on some xtra cheese- and ate it with a fork - it was actually very good and much needed on the drive marathon I was doing that day! I still cant eat tortillas or anything bready so just wanted some protein!

You are doing great -didnt get ahold of you this week as daughter was home all week sick so kinda put a damper on my road running!

take care,
deb

I start stage 4 on Tuesday after seeing Diana and the team! I had a great check up with Dr. E.. All went well and he was impressed with my incisions. I guess, other than in group, I won't be seeing him again.  I am dehydrated though, and trying to up my water. A bottle of water completely fills me up and I have to drink at least 4. How are you coping with your water intake. I have had eggs already....last week I snuck a scrambled egg but I have been using the egg beaters. They are less dense than real eggs. Tuna is a fav of mine so I will enjoy it. I spent some time with Liz yesterday at work. It was nice talking to her again. So....take care and keep in touch. Congrats on the awesome weight loss. 

Chow for now, Carmen

Hi! I emailed Diana and she said I could start stage 4 at four weeks, so I started on Thursday. I have had scrambled eggs, tuna salad with crackers, and soup. My water has always been good, but it's because I am ALWAYS sipping. I take a water bottle with me wherever I go. One bottle of water should take you 1.5 hours to 2 hours, so if you're drinking it all in one hour, that may be why it could be making you full. The only thing that makes me full is a protein shake. I have started eating at only 1 oz, so that hasn't made me full.

I also met with Liz and she gave me some much needed size 24 pants :)
