Another update...

I had another follow up visit with Dr. Hess this morning - down another 2 pounds - not what I thought it would be but it is minus - total 42 pounds gone now - Dr. Hess seems to think - get this - I AM NOT EATING ENOUGH! I never thought I would hear THOSE words from a doctor! He also told me I need to stop wearing my big clothes - the shirt I have on today he said was huge on me I am starting Stage 5 tomorrow - looking forward to adding some fruit in finally - blueberries mostly - what a craving to have huh So far today I am up to 43 grams of protein, so I am about halfway there for today - yikes! I hope everyone else is doing OK - this is not an easy thing we are doing by a longshot, but it does get better every day!!! Liz -42

Not eating enough???!!!! Don't you love it????? It is hard sometimes. I am so "fed up" with things not tasting just right or going down with difficulty that I tend to stick to a few favorites and those are getting old quickly! Congrats on your loss so far and I hope you are feeling much better over all. I see Dr. Hess on Friday for these still healing wounds, but my diet won't be advanced again for another couple of weeks. Good luck with Stage 5. Enjoy those blueberries! Luann-29
