Week 3

So I am going to try this again.  I have been trying to post from my phone for the last day and it keeps on saying publishing but the post does publish.  I am not sure what the problem with it I have done it from my phone before and it works.

This past week I have started to reintroduce food in my diet.  Before this I was on a full fluid diet.  I was able to eat yogurt  tomato soup, milk, runny oatmeal and anything that never had large chunks in it.  Now I am able to eat items that are recommended on the sheet my dietitian has given me.  So I am able to things like boiled eggs, cheese, stew, chili, hamburger, chicken and lots of other items.  I just have to make sure I focus on eating protein.  I have a protein goal of 76 to 100 grams of protein every day and it is difficult to make this goal because you are eating so little food.  I have been getting around 40 grams of protein everyday and I am slowly increasing the calories that I am eating.  

I have lost another 8 pounds this week and I am feeling stronger every day.  I am gong to be starting work on Thursday and we will see how that goes.
