Hello Hello -

Today was a crazy day for me - Fridays usually are and it was particularly a strange eating day, my first since the revision.  I am not ever hungry, but for some reason I wanted to eat.  Sigh.  Guess the surgery doesn't take the fat person who wants to eat all the time out of me - I have to do that all by myself!  Bigger Sigh.

B:  1 green tea + 1 café au lait

S:  Activia nature yogurt

L:  2  spoonfuls of Ratatouille and 2 tbls of low fat cottage cheese

S:  1 black tea + 1 weigh****chers thin slice of chicken breast with 1 tsp of hummous.

D:  3 tbls of Cottage cheese

2 litres of water - + Multi vitamins

Did some walking, picked up the pace as I could, chose the stairs etc.  Not great, but better than before!

Have a super day! Ashley

I've found that days that I am hungry it is usually because I have skipped my Prilosec for a few days.  You would think I'd learn but I must be a really slow learner.

Do you know how many calories you are getting in?

I'm getting between 300 and 400 calories - which I know sounds absurd but that is what I've been told to aim for as long as I get 50 grams of protein.  Today I was a bit off and I am drinking a 100 cal/ 23grm  protein shake as I write this as I realized after posting that it was a pretty sad looking intake!  Thanks for looking out for me!  

Ashley

300-400 seems really low especially if some of that is from Protein Drinks but when I think back I don't remember eating much at the beginning.  I'm thinking I was usually around 500-600 after a couple months and stayed on that for quite awhile. 

Hi Roz,

I was so glad to get home last night.  I had to work out of town 2 days.  I was in the bed asleep by 9:30 last night.  I think I'm getting too old for all this traveling.

Enjoy the restaurant tonight.  My taste buds usually take over even when I plan on being good and pick something out ahead of time.  Granddaughters are coming tomorrow for a spend the night party.  DD got her stitches out today and her lip looks really good.  She hardly has a scar.  He did a great job stitching her up.

Linda....I feel terrible but I don't know what happened to your DD.  I looked back at old posts and I couldn't find where you posted anything.  I'm glad things are going good for her!

I looked at the menu and I'm going to try and stick with Wedding Soup and a couple of Meatballs. If I can just stay out of the Bread!!!!!!

The boys are coming to spend tonight too.  DD#3 is choreographing this weekend a couple of hours away and she is leaving really early.  SIL is going to a program at church so we have to take the oldest one to basketball camp.

Sounds Good Linda.....It looks like you are low carbing today!

Roz, she fell down her back steps last week and busted her lip and sprained her foot real bad.  She is doing much better.

Late posting today - I had a really busy day in the office and got over 10,000 steps from just walking round the office!!  I got lots of protein in today too ;-)

AWESOME!!!!!!
