You are on the ball tonight with that quick response .  I have a question - just to show my ignorance of the band - I have noticed that you do a lot of mushy foods.  Is that for a specific reason, or just the kind of stuff you prefer?  What you're consuming is totally healthy looking to me, I'm just curious.

I had a fill on Monday. When you get a fill (its different with every dr.) I have to do liquids for 3 days. Mushies for 1. then soft..... Whole process all over. boo...

So I'm still on liquids But I thought this would be a good way to hold my self accountable in the future and make sure I'm getting enough fluids!

10:30- 8 fl oz of Crystal Light

11:15- 1/2 cup pudding mixed with 3 g protein and one crushed pill

12:00- took my nasty medicine, ruined my tummy for a few hours

3:00- Isopure Low Carb- 40g Protein

5:30- 16 fl oz of water

8:00- Second dose of nasty meds with 8 fl oz of Crystal light

10:00- Still sipping... 1/2 way through 16 oz of water, will finish by bedtime!

Today I didn't do as well as I should, my medicine for some reason really upset my pouch so I didn't get enough protein and just barely got my fluids...but I'm still learning!

Here is my day - just tyring to maintain, not really lose anymore - my target is around 1800-2300 calories depending on my activity level which has been moderate - so around 2000.... am: latte - 2 shots of espresso, 1 shot of sf carmel syrup, and 6 ounces or so of skim milk later am - about 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and about an ounce of beef jerky (tip: if the jerky is too tough nuke it for five to ten seconds and it will be easier to chew) lunch: 1 egg plus 1 egg white plus 1 slice of american cheese - scrambled in a pan with nonfat spray and three little round veggie sausage patties all eaten with heinz low-carb ketchup pm snack -  a small chef's salad I threw together at the salad bar in the hospital cafe before my support group meeting (tip: hospital cafeterias are great places to find some healthy food choices and usually cheap too!) dinner - dined with support group after meeting - chicken schwarma pita (roasted mediteranean chicken breast, romain lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickle slices, sesame sauce, garlic sauce, and yogurt sauce on the side, all wrapped in a fresh pita...I ate all of the stuff inside and about a third of the pita! later tonight -  a protein shake totals - don't know, I have stopped counting, I used to all the time, and since this is pretty conisistent with how I usually eat I can pretty much assume I am somewhere around 1200-1600 calories, good enough for me...oh yeah, and I drank three bottles of water plus the liquid protein shake later, so I'm ok there, but i still drank too much dehydrating caffeine today...

yay...here I am!
