Oooh..LOVE SF Angelfood cake..I just really have to be careful and only have one piece.

Don't beat yourself up on the cookies. An occasional slip up isn't a bad thing.

Your numbers are really good. You're doing well. Keep up the good work.

I wish both you and your husband luck Dawn with his surgery...my Mother had both of her done some years ago...now she can see better than me. LOL

I'm going to cut out my stomach and live on nothing but bread and water.  I haven't been doing well at all with my eating.  I'm finding it hard to stay on track, and I always seem to be hungry, no actually starving.  I need help and suggestions...here is what I ate on Tuesday.

EM - EAS Protein Shake 17g (had @ 6a)

B -    2 sl of turkey Bacon  4g
        1 scrambled egg w/ cheese, peppers & onions  5.1g

L -     3oz Tuna w/ tossed salad of spinach & lettuce  22.1g
         1 srv salad dressing  0 g

S -      6 Meatballs/ 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese  27g

D -      1/2 Turkey Breast Sandwich on Toasted Wheat Bread
           w/ lettuce, tomato & little mayo    7.7g
           1 Bag Kettle Cooked Potato Chips 4g

S -       7 Pieces of Hershey Kisses  7g 

Cal         1570
Fat            60g
Carbs    116.7g
Fiber        8.5g
Protein    125g

LOL. Now that would do you in! Bread and water..Actually, your numbers look really good.

How about your water intake? Are you drinking enough water? When I first get a signal that I'm hungry I drink a 24 oz container of water just to be SURE I'm really hungry and then I eat the meat (protein) first..Then the good veggies..Bread LAST..If I have room.

And bread and pasta (and candy) tends to make me feel really hungry and I want more of that stuff.

Some people say no to snacking but I dont' see it possible for me. I have breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Add a healthy low carb snack. protein, veggies or fruits everyday and see how that works for you.

Also, like someone else said.. drink lots of water!!

Good luck with the surgery!

B - bac/egg/cheese on half a croissant  & a lg. iced coffee w/cream & sugar from Dunkin Donuts
L - London Broil (6 oz) & 1/2 mashed potatoes, 1 brownie
S - protein shake (2 scoops chocolate Muscle Milk powder, 2 scoops upcal D, 2 c. crushed ice, 1 c. half&half, whizzed up in the blender)
D - 1 fried egg, 2 pieces of scrapple, 1/2 bagel w/ 3 oz cream cheese (yes, I like a little bagel with my cream cheese)
S - 1 cheese stick, 3 pepperoni chunks (while I was making today's lunch)

I was kind of bored with eating yesterday - nothing was appetizing.  Today, unfortunately, promises to bring more of the same attitude.  Blah.

DS Veteran, 2+ years out

When I'm too bored to eat I just don't...That gets me in trouble and I can't even manage 1200 calories a day...Then the scale screams at me in a couple of days. I can't afford to have the number go down any more...LOL. Never thought I'd have to say that...

I'm at least trying to be good and not add anything that I am suppose to stay away from. I hate how it makes me feel.

Day 2 of my 5dpt - so far so good.

Here is what yesterday (day one) looked like:
Protein shake
Chicken broth
Protein shake
Chiken broth
Tomato soup x2
Chicken broth

Guessing about 1200 calories

Lots of water!!!

Wow...I don't see howthat could be 1200 calories but you're doing awesome...Keep it up!
