I have this fear that I am eating too much. I don't hurt and I don't have discomfort.              

Hope everyone has a good one!

Hi Sunny

Sounds like you are doing great!!....just ensure you are measuring your meals as your nerves have been cut and will really not register fullness until likely too late......a full cup of stew at lunch sounds like quite a lot....the minute you feel full....stop.....you are only two weeks out.....maybe cut that back a bit

You are going to be tired.....your steps look great to me at this early stage.......

Good luck with your showing today.....

One cup of beef stew (i'm assuming it's pureed at this stage) is a lot, I think. Don't worry about not hurting and no discomfort, it's all good right now. It honestly took me two years before I could finish a small chili (with cheddar cheese) from Wendy's. (and the milk you have for dinner...isn't WITH dinner i'm assuming :-) )

Keep up the great work! The first month is the hardest.

Hi Kelly

Thanks for your thoughts too!

No, I whip the egg in milk to get a bit more protein out of the meal - I set my timer on my iPhone to make sure I don't eat/drink within the half our before and hour after eating!

Appreciate your help!

Thank you for looking at my menu.  I have been sure to measure everything. I will eat 1/2 -3/4 of the stew. It is rather heavy. 

Appreciate your help!

it is tough when you don't feel everything. I have to keep reminding myself it's not necessary to eat everything. Memories of my Mother making me clean my plate before I could leave the table LOL!

I don't think I've felt the fullness feeling yet, so to your point, it's critical to measure.

Meeting friends for breakfast.  Checked out the menu—limited—I’ll eat my breakfast at home and have a latte/coffee while they snarffle down their food.

Have a wonderful weekend!
