you know.. our diet progression depends on which pamphlet you read from the NUT. The two conflict each other in a couple of places. BUT they both say milk, protein supplements, vitamins, cream of wheat, grits, malt-o-meal or something like that, yogurt, and creamy or blended soups this week.
The only thing I tried was oatmeal that strayed which is technically next week. I thought it may be due to the larger size of the oatmeal and the thickness. So i actually whirled my packet of oatmeal in my blender to make it super fine like a malt-o-meal type deal and made it really runny with water.
The other night i had about 6 small bites of some cream of potato with broccoli that I had blended and it sat fine. was delicious. yesterday.. nope.. bleh.
I'm just having a rough time with food all together so far really. So i'm trying some different shakes, trying to get in all those daily vitamins ( i need to get a pill organizer today i think to help me) and just forcing in as much liquids as i can. Figure if I can't eat, i need to make sure i'm at the very least hydrated.
I don't know if its normal... but from what i've seen around the forums, i'm losing my weight like most of the men here. I don't know if its because i'm so much larger that I'll lose the underlying fat faster? I weighed this morning and i'm down another 7 lbs since wednesday morning? Although.. i was bloated still on wednesday and today feeling pretty normal. Think I finally got rid of a lot of the gas and IVs they pumped me full of. Just kinda scary to think i can lose that much weight in one week
