Roll Call and Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood (Wednesday)

Howdy 20's board! How has "hump day" been for you?  Are you getting your protien and water in?  The summer is still warm so it is all the more important to push liquids.  Did you know that fat leaves your body in urine?  Yeah, it does, so that means if you're not drinking (so you can pee) you are sabotaging your weight loss.  If that doesn't get you drinking I don't know what will. It has been a tough day on this side of the keyboard - I didn't get the results I wanted yesteday from some tests and I am bummed about that.  On top of that and feeling crummy I haven't seen my husband for a long time since I'm staying with my mom and sisters so they can take care of me (he works a lot and we live a good hour away from my mom's house so with the price of gas and no time it is hard to make the trip).  He was supposed to be able to come here on Thursday night and stay to take care of me through Sunday morning before driving back to work.  He was going to use personal time for his shift on Saturday and that would have been great except his manager told him that if he called in on Saturday (this was after he tried to switch with a few other employees but no one could) he would get written up.  That is a big deal where he works and he has a couple other write ups for two other assenine reasons so one more could mean his job.  So I was looking forward to having him here to help me out and just to see him but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.  If they don't work with him I am thinking of starting a boycott against the company he works for - so stay tuned and if this last ditch effort he's going through (talking to a higher-up manager) doesn't work I'll be pleading with you to boycott this stupid chain that treats employees like CRAPOLA, with peanuts for pay and highway robery for insurance.  My sister is moving this weekend so my family is going to be gone and unable to care for me so almost as much as I WANT him to be here I NEED him.  I have to have help feeding myself every 2 hours and getting around and all that jazz.  I mean it isn't rigirous care but I DO need help.  *sigh* it just bums me out. As for food....I have worked my way through an 11oz Atkins vanilla shake, 40 oz water, 20 oz pedialite, 3 oz honey chicken (YUM!) and I am planning on more honey chicken before bed.  That puts me at 596 calories, 50g carbs, and 55g protien.  Let me know how you're doing with food and what not - I'd love to hear from you!

oops realized i posted in tuesday on accident:

Brunch (it was the first night I slept really well since surgery and slept till almost 12! I guess from having no good sleep the past 5 or so days): 6 oz of chicken broth

mid afternoon: protein supplement

Dinner: 3 tablespoons of pinto beans.
I got the nerve to try them, after my doctor put me on pureed diet yesterday. Ate those 20min ago, so far so good! I was nervous because yesterday I had a couple bites of sugarfree reduced fat pudding and I got the foamies! I think it was the milk though.

Snack: 2 more tablespoons of pinto beans

Trying to get as much water in throughout the day. Today is about the best I have done so far. I have gotten almost 40oz in.
