Ummmm Ummmm gooood!!!!!

I graduated today.  I had some strained cream soup.  You woulda thought I was at the Outback.  I just got hungry yesterday, and dreamed last night I was eating at a buffet.  lol.  I thought I had really messed up until I realized it was a dream.  I think I can add apple sauce, plain yogurt, and protein shakes this week to.  Anyway I am.  My stomach feel soooo happy now.  so far I lost about 12lbs.  I thought that was a little low. It that typical for the first week? Also,  Have u tried the Vitamin water?  I have been mixing that with my protein shots.  Any input?

Howdy

Make sure you're getting in your fluids. You're fighting head and having a water bottle in your hand at all times can help you combat those pangs.

The only advice I can give you about the diet is follow what your NUT gave you. I wasn't ready for strained or creamed anything after a week - I was too scared and feared that I would jack up my new plumbing.

Twelve lbs in one week?!?!?!  Heck naw, that's not low, that's AWESOME!!!

Vitamin H2O...is that the same as Vitamin Water?

Stay away from the PROTEIN SHOTS. I used to praise them until my hair started to fall out. They contain collagenic protein which don't mean crap to our bodies.

Congrats and continued luck with your journey!

Thank you.  Yeah , it's the same as Vitimin water.  It has about 13g carbs and 150 cal per 20oz.  I guess thats not bad? Thank you for advise

hmmmmmmm ....... Wonka, now this I hadn't heard before, you learn something new everyday, I
guess. I have never had one of the protein shots (just didn't perfer them).  But I will pass this

info on.  Thanks!

12lbs is great 

Are you kidding? 12 lbs in a week is fabulous in my book. You are doing great! 

I could have strained creamed soup, applesauce, protein shakes and runny creamed potatoes when I first got home from the hosp (per my surgeon's instructions) with no problems whatsoever.  You  might want to check with your doctor to make sure.

Vitamin water? Don't use it .... too many carbs and wayyyyy too many calories for me. Keep up all the good work.

Thank you.  ok I will not get anymore vitimin water.  Plain water is tasting very different to me right now.  maybe its the kroger brand i have. 

The sugar free drink mixes at Walmart have been my saving grace!  They have all kindsa flavors, you mix 2 quarts at a time (or you can get the single serving kind for more $)....Crystal light kinda deals.  The "10 Calorie" Vitamin waters are ok IMO.  GREAT job on the 12 pounds - girl, you are cruizin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    GOOD for YOU!!!!

Thank you.. Yeah Sam's Choice ones.  I will pick some up.
