I didn't lose as much as weight as I wanted this week which was frustrating. But, I was thinking about this...in the past when I would come to a stand still so early in my weight loss, I'd give up and go back to my old ways...the difference now is I can't. This is why this is a good thing. I'm starting to feel positive again even though I periodically have those periods of where I thought to myself, "seriously I did this to myself for only 20 lbs" I'm very good at fatalistic thinking -- it's a talent really.
Starting today and for the next three weeks I get to have soft foods....my diet just expanded and I'm so happy! I stay at one ounce every two hours and up it to 2-3 ounces every 3 hours...the goal is to keep it at 2-3 ounces every 3 hours for at least three months.
What was my first meal? Well I had a coupon for some Morning Star products and found these in the freezer section and thought they looked yummy so I bought some in anticipation of this day...
Half of one is 2.25 oz, 35 kcals, and 4.5 g of protein.
Since egg whites gave me a little trouble in the first week I was on "mushies" the nutritionist said to take it easy with the animal proteins and go at it slowly. I will probably have to supplement with a protein shake until I can get on more animal proteins.
Oh, and it tasted yummy. It was a good first choice.
lol - I felt like my life had all new meaning once I was able to start soft foods... lol I am getting ready to do it all over again but this time I know it's worth it. :)

ReplyDeleteYay for mushies! Can't wait until you start on solids. It'll be like manna from heaven. :)
