3 weeks out!!!

So three weeks ago today I was having my surgery. This morning I weighed in at 207.8. So my weight loss has slowed down a lot, but I think partially it`s because I am having trouble getting enough in. I still am no where near 2 liters of fluid a day which I am finding so frustrating. So today I have a plan which I will be starting soon. My goal today is to try and get 1600 ml. Which is about 300 more than I usually get. I started soft food last week. I was so excited and the first things I tried went very well. I foolishly tried some chicken and didn`t make it fine enough. That night I was in so much pain. I couldn`t believe that anything could hurt that bad. I was up for almost 3 hours in pain in the middle of the night. It definitely took me back a bit and I am definitely moving forward more slowly now.
We went away for a few days which was a nice change. It was hard to travel and find foods I could eat. We discovered Wegmans and their salad bar which was nice as I actually could eat things with my family. I have also become a huge fan of hummus which I never imagined I would like.
I got to do some shopping while I was away. I got some clothes that normally I never would have purchased. It was really fun!!!
I`ve been having some emotional ups and downs. I hope this will go away once I can do more. I want to do everything I used to, but obviously that`s going to take a bit. I read too that the hormones in my body are probably so messed up right now which could be causing this as well.
So today is all about fluids and trying some ground beef. I am going to get extra lean and puree it. I am really craving some sort of meat! Plus I am supposed to have so much protein. Tomorrow I can have peanut butter... I am praying that goes well as i LOVE my peanut butter!!!!
I am feeilng good about what I`ve done! and can`t wait to continue moving forward.
