Very tired today and an accomplishment
Sep 02, 2011
Since I was told to move to the next food stage 2 and 3, It has allowed my to get creative with my protein. I had a 1/4 cup of roasted turkey with chobani yogurt. I had one for breakfast and one for dinner. I managed to get 41 grams today. Yay for me. My goal from the Doc and Nutri is 40 grm of protein and water to start. I was so haapy. I purchased a couple of packs of the chicken strips in a bag a couple of weeks ago and saw one left. I read the label and cool, I can have this and the protein count was over 12. I pulled out my second attachment to my majic blt. and through in the entire pack with the yogurt and some pepper. I got to a fine grate and done. I put my 1/4 portion back into the empty yogurt container and used the little bit that was left and packed the rest in to several 2 oz storage containers. (got 12 for a buck on sale).Each time a grab one to eat, I'm going to add just a tad more yogurt for moisture. I also had some yogurt with a tablespoon of unflavored unjury and a pack of equal. Grabbed a long handled baby spoon and enjoyed my meal.
I have noticed that I just want to gobble down my ice cold water but I know I can't do that. 2 things that I miss...chewing gum on a daily and drinking some good ol' cold water the was I use to. I use my 1 ounce glass for water and I take note of how many ounces of water I drink that way. It's easier for me to keep track. I keep bottled water in the freezer for grab and go anyway. Before I go to bed, I get a large cup of ice and some water and my ounce cup and keep track through the middle of night. If I know that I am turning, I will grab my ounce cup and drink it.
I have been laying on my sides since the day after surgery. Last night I sleep on the stomach with no problem and I had a wonderful night.
I finally found the food scale that I think I will enjoy. The fit scale in red. I was looking for purple but they did'nt have it. I think that's the last on my list as far as purchases. I love to shop but I think I'm over the shopping for now as far as the wls stuff goes.
I can see where I am losing inches in my arms and my belly. So, I am losing in my upper body and my baby says that she noticed early today. I told her thank you but I don't see. Not looking at that daily to be honest. I have other things to focus on and I won't allow that to consume me. When I got out of the shower and was drying off, I did see what she was talking about. I am soooo blessed to finally have a breakthrough after being 200 pounds for 6 years. thank you lord for approval.
