doesn't this sound yummy?
Maybe it is because I am craving some chewable food right now, I dunno... Can't wait to try this. My first day for regular foods is to be March 31. This is the day after our anniversary so I really want to go out and celebrate. I will also be able to test my band. I intend to take home a doggy bag. ;)
egg quiche:
3/4 cup egg white
2 eggs
3/4 reduced or non fat shredded cheese- i use NF mozzerella
3/4 cup red pepper (you can use any color)- chopped small
3/4 onion chopped small
1 10oz package of frozen spinach
salt and pepper
1 has about 40-50 calories
Place spinach in microwave for about 3 minutes- then SQUEEZE ALL the water out! Mix all ingredients together and pour into a 12 m
muffin pan. Bake on 350 for about 30 minutes. I also serve with 1 or 2 pieces of turkey bacon and 1/2 a banana.

Day 12...
Nothing much is new, except I can say that I really am feeling better every day. My port site still hurts, especially if I am sitting for long periods of time. I have finally peeled off all the glue and all the incisions look really good. Maybe someday I will be able to wear a bikini????
Weightloss as of this morning was down 13.2 since surgery. wow! that is just over 1 lb a day....
total weightloss since starting the pre-op diet is 24.8.
I keep asking the family if they notice it. Can't wait til someone makes a comment without me having to ask if they see it. hmmm you can be sure I will post it here.
Ok, I have also broached the subject of eating more healthy with the family. I figure if I can learn to cook the way I am supposed to eat and have them all enjoy the same, we will all become healtier right? That doesn't mean that they have to have the miniscule amount that I will have but they will have the same options.

Feeling Better now
Yes, I did call Dr. Miranda. Seems I have jumped too fast into having creamy soups and needed to go back to clears and add my shakes first... duh. I knew that. Not sure what I was thinking. Anyways, I am feeling so much better now!
Weightloss has also been steady. I am down 10.2 this morning.
NOTE: I always weigh myself first thing in the morning with no clothes on. (not a pretty picture yet ;) I figure if I do the same thing every time, it will always be consistant.
On the other hand, I am having issues with my head. The desire to eat something is sooooo strong. I will admit that last night, I had a chicken nugget, chewed it to mush and enjoyed the taste, then spit it out... Just to have the chewing motion. Boy am I scared to go back to eating. However, I am also consumed with cooking properly. How do I get my family to eat the proper foods? I have been watching some cooking shows and have a desire to cook more healthy. How do I implement that and make them eat it? hmmm.
My caloric intake is now up between 850 and 950 per day. I know I should be up a bit higher, and hopefully can add a few things to bump it, but I have to say, I am not hungry so why ruin it?

One week Post Op
Today is my 1 week anniversary... yes, I am counting... Since surgery, I have dropped 8.4 lbs. wow! Maybe this has a little to do with having Diarhea? That is the most horrible thing right now. I nearly can't stand it... if it keeps up tomorrow yet, I am going to call Dr. Miranda for help. It started bad on Friday already and I can't figure out what is causing it. Some of the other gals have complained about being so constipated that they needed help so what is this???

Overdid it!
Oh my... my stomach feels like a mac truck ran over it. The port site is the most painful. I have started taking some pain killers. So far, I had gotten away without but during the night I got so much pain I got up at about 3:30am.
I think I shouldn't have done the vacuuming and house cleaning...I did have the boys helping a bit, but it is always a struggle to get them to do something for me. And then to have it done right. I will have to just get over that and learn to accept or teach them what I want. right?
I started my journal today and was shocked to find I am only consuming 580 calories. Not near enough. Will have to watch that.
