What are you eating/doing Tuesday?
Many thanks. Will do. I'll start on the 19th when I begin my next phase as I am quite predictable right now.
Breakfast: Leanfit protein powder with water (3/4 cup)
Lunch: Blended cream soup made with 1% milk (1/2 cup)
Dinner: Same as breakfast
Snacks: Either 1/4 cup Skyr yogurt, unsweetened apple sauce, no sugar added vanilla pudding or 4 oz. low sodium V8.
All water, one decaf. coffee and lots of herbal tea. All vitamins. Averages 460 calories and 80 grams of protein. Carbs. between 40 and 50 grams. When I was mixing water with cranberry juice, the carbs. were usually about 60 grams. I've stopped juice now and am just drinking the above.
This phase lasts three weeks then I will get used to the next one and will post regularly. Thank you Pam and Ginny for your feedback.

Ginny Happy Official Surgiversary. As with Ready, I am wishing you many, many, many more. Pat you make me laugh. That is definitely a perk of getting older.
Last night was a lot of fun. I did have a few things that were off plan,but only a bite or two and so far no cravings. It's once a year, so I don't fret about a bite when I'm at goal.
Today I went swimming and then yoga this evening. Some yardwork after lunch.

Some days are definitely tougher then others. Just don't ever give up. Try and work it hard the next few months of malabsorption as it really gets tougher past 2-3 years.
Keep weighing and measuring - keep taking your measurements. I sense you are giving up a little since you have been on a long stall. Don't!
