Just got in from a 3.5 mile walk/run with the dog. Enjoying a cup of tomato soup.
Making an egg, cheese, and bacon crustless quiche for tomorrow along with tuna salad (tuna and a schmear of mayo) and for dinner tomorrow is tilapia with lemon baked in the oven. I'm dying for a piece of bacon but I am just saying NO.
I am so proud of us and how well we are coming along.
High five, Luweez for planning ahead and packing your lunch for tomorrow.

Hang in there, Butterfly! I made that ham and cheese soup and it really satisfied my hunger.. you should give it a try!

Sweetsal, on the 5DPT website they recommend taking Emergen-C if you're getting headaches and stuff - might be worth a try. I meant to pick some up at the store earlier and forgot. :-/

Heather! Congrats on the 4.2 lbs. Great job! It's just a matter of doing more of the same with a little more leeway.. you can do it!

Patsy, lol I made my stuff for tomorrow too. Chicken salad with chopped up eggs in Dijonnaise with a little relish and a couple of hard boiled eggs.

Doing this is really making me mindful of what everything I eat has in it and their nutritional values.. moreso than before. I wasn't as carb-minded as I've been these last couple of days and I plan to continue with it. I feel GREAT and am seeing results already.

I'm going to try the parmesan tuna patties for tomorrow, making them tonight. I'll have one for breakfast and then if I don't like it, I still have time to boil up a couple eggs and make egg salad. Hmm, maybe I'll do up some eggs anyway, hubby will always eat them.

Can we have protein shakes on days 3-5? Or just the soft/med/regular protein?

Hugs!
Patricia

Patricia, I've made the Parmesan Tuna Patties before and they are delicious! Even the leftover cold ones straight from the fridge. I'm planning on making some tomorrow for Thursday.

Krista

Can someone direct me to the info on the 5 DPT? I'd love to do it if it's for me. I'm all for testing the pouch. :)

Much better day, it helped that I actually had my protein drinks and soup today. (Still wondering who could possibly have wanted my medifast soup and the odd little snack bags of protein powder with Benefiber :) My usual coffee protein drink for breakfast, chai protein mixed into iced tea for mid morning, lunch was medifast cream of something soup (truly tasteless stuff that I doctored with hot sauce & boullion... getting rid of the last of my pre-op stash), I got really hungry & headachey this afternoon and the jolt of caffeine in my Click shake took care of both. Just enjoyed 3/4c split pea soup for dinner. I'll have a snack before bed to get my calories up to 800. Making egg & tuna salad for tomorrow and packing up some more mommy crack, um, I mean Click for my afternoon treat.

OK I just finished cooking the ham and cheese soup. Im confused... my cheese is like one lump stuck together???? The deviled ham is like liquid and there are carrots? I thought this was a cream soup? The flavor is good. I think if I make it again I will add the cheese to each serving and not use as much. I am surpeised that I do like tofu, first time I have tried it, it taste pretty good :)

Maybe when it gets cold I will throw it in my magic bullet and see what happens. Any one try that?

Oh my Krista! I just made the tuna patties and they look/smell just like the fish patties my mom used to make us for meatless Fridays! I want tomorrow to come so I can taste them. I've been looking for that comfort food for a long time, never quite got the recipe right. Maybe it's the mayo, I don't remember Mom using that. Yum!

Hugs! Patricia

Patricia... I just made them also, I did taste a little and you are right, they are great. I left out the mayonaise, I dont like it. I used the same recipe for the canned chicken also and my son loves it. cheap, healthy and quick...what more could a busy mom want :)

I found the flaxseed at the grocery store sold in bulk and used my magic bullet to grind it, works great. A few friends say that they use the flaxmeal in their smoothies.. supposed to be very healthy for you.

I've made the tuna parm patties more than once and I'm not a fish patty person, I LOVE them. They are excellent. Thank you Krimicri. I plan on keeping it up, I'm excited about my weight loss like it just started all over again! Patricia I will be interested to see if you like the tuna patties.

HI ~ I tried to sign the guestbook there... THEY did not like "my input field" website (3x)...

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? what DO THEY WANT TO KNOW?

DUH ! ... HELP!!

Sweetsal, I didn't have problems with the cheese, but I did have a problem with the tofu dissolving, so I did grind mine up in my magic bullet and pour it back in the pan, after that it was perfect.. the carrots and onions all ground up as well, so it was indeed a cream soup for me. :)
