Back to food!

Last week, I started my transition back to eating. For the first week, I continued to have 3 beverage meal replacements per day and 1 meal. The meal was pretty structured: 4 oz of lean protein and 3-6 cups of non-starchy vegetables, plus fat free dressing or mayo or salsa. It was nice to be able to eat again. I lost 2.8 pounds for the week and my nutritionist was impressed.

So, for this week she has bumped me up to 2 meals per day and 2 beverage meal replacements. Same types of food allowed. Next week if I have done OK, she'll start adding in other healthy food choices. I think fruit is next. Who would have thought I'd be so excited about fruit!? It'll be such a treat after not having any for 4.5 months!
