Menus and Miles Thursday May 19th

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! I have IC (Irritable Bladder Syndrome) and I can only have them while I'm not having a flare up. It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

With all of the set backs Monday, I was able to move on to day 2 on Wednesday.  They just said let's pretend Tuesday didn't happen and start all over. That earned me an extra night here, but I'm not hopeful it'll just be one day. 

Still taking only Tylenol for pain, and it's barely touching it. Today's menu is 

8oz Glucerna + 8oz water by g-tube. 

20 oz Blue Powerade plus 28oz water or chicken broth by mouth. 

im really struggling to get it all in. If I can't do it, I stay another extra night. 

Im staying positive, just feeling a lot of pain and nausea from being so full. 

Wish me luck, friends. 

I hope things are getting better for you!  My Surgeon sent me home without me getting any liquids in.  I'm thankful for that because I struggled for awhile.  My glands hurt really bad when I drank.

Are you walking?  Gas build up is pretty painful.
