Topic: I have a confession......
hello...

ok.. I have a confession....  I have not been purree-ing my food....  lol..

I just could not do it.... my plan from my surgeon 2 weeks liquids..2 weeks puree-ed.. (sp).. 2 weeks soft... and then regular foods...

The texture of the foods.. when in the blender.. just grossed me out... I tried baby food... nah.. was not my cup of tea... and then my 6 year old daughter could not understand why she was not allowed to eat it too...lol

I have been reading all across the boards and it would seem that every surgeon and every country have different requirements when it comes to the after care meal plan...so...  I figured.. I can venture out a little bit from puree-ed hell...

But what I did do.. is make sure I made all of my food in crock pot.. ate home made soups...spag sauce and meat and lots of soft veggies..(no pasta\)...  ate soft meats..

I kind of tailored my food based on my pouch response and protein needs... 

ok.. I feel better.. now that I have confessed to my peeps......

It's hard, I'm not going to lie.  I was so scared of failure, but I did it and so can YOU !!!  Keep busy, do something that you've been "meaning" to do-clean out the closets, dust the ceiling fans, clean out the pantry, reorganize the drawers, etc.  Do something nice for yourself.  When you are tempted drink more water, call a friend, get online.

Topic: Shopping
Well less than 2 weeks out and already 30 pounds down the reality hit me that I would have to go shopping soon.  I have always hated shopping.

So sucked it up and went to the local Clothing Exchange and for the first time in 20 years I had fun! I bought a few things for the future me.  It was amazing to look at a dress and say to myself "soon" rather than "I wish".

Whole new world in less than two weeks... I never expected it so quickly. What a blessing.

Now I just have to find the perfect shoes

Topic: RE: Waaahhhhhhh!
I know it's frustrating, but your body has fluid shifts that can cause several pound fluctuations over the hours of a day. I have decided not to let the scale rule my life. I will only weigh myself once a week now. It sounds like you are doing everything you need to do. Relax and keep up the good work. Remember this is a new lifestyle,not a diet. I found I was on emotional roller coaster for the first few weeks. Give yourself a break and concentrate on recovering. The weight will come off

I did not have to do the milk diet, but I can commiserate with you.  I am sure it is testing everything that you have thought made you, you.  Hang in there and I am sure every emotion including fearful and anxiety is completely normal.

Just remember to do your best, and this is for a healthier you, but it is a hard break up with a friend so don't feel ashamed of all of your emotions.

Hang in there!
