Down to 205 today! 19.5 lbs lost! Went to Shoney's last night with the fam. I had broth out of their soup on the bar. I was surprisingly able to put down about 8 oz in 20-30 min! Then when I got home I still felt hungry so I ate a sugar-free pudding cup over about 30 min trying to listen to my body - I got it all down just fine. I am a little worried that I didn't get that full feeling like I did with the mousse on Wednesday. I loved feeling satiated because then I wasn't thinking about food anymore!

Down to 206.8 today! That's a total loss of 17.7 lbs since beginning pre-op diet!! I have walked 30 minutes everyday this week, except Sunday, when I felt so tired all I could do was lay on the couch. Went to Mimi's Cafe last night and ordered the petite chocolate mousse (131 cals) and was able to eat all of it - was probably 4-6 oz - in about 20 min. I didn't think I'd be able to eat it all and I was a little worried since that was my first non-clear liquid food item since surgery. I just went ahead and advanced myself to full liquids yesterday because of hunger. I did fine with the mousse and I actually got full - I was able to go grocery shopping afterwards and I didn't want everything I saw (that was torturous!) because I felt full and satisfied! That made me so happy! I was so tired of feeling starved! I also had a carnation instant breakfast shake packet in 8 oz skim milk this morning and tolerated it quite well!

7 days post op tonight. Still feeling very hungry most of the time. Threw up last night and this morning. Was I full and didn't know it? I have never been good at knowing - that's what got me so fat to begin with. I am scared this is not going to work for me because I will stretch my stomach because I can't tell that I'm full!

Well today is 3 days post op. Will be heading back home from TJ in the morning!
