@VSlowLife , the Impact supplement is 3x/day for 5 days pre surgery and the same for 5 days after surgery. I love boiled eggs for hunger pangs and otherwise. Also lots of veggies and apples especially this time of year with fresh apples locally grown. I have also been roasting a bunch of squash and then nibble on them if hungry. Cukes are my go to for a crunchy something and also very low cal. I figure I will do my best with points pre and post while drinking the supplement and then get back on track but at same time making sure I am eating healthy for the body to have the right nutrients for recovery. I am lucky since I do like all vegetables and fruit. I have stocked up on frozen fruit to go with my FF greek yogurt and fiber one bran cereal for my breakfasts. I will be at the mercy of my husband cooking. He is not a bad cook but not exactly low point - luckily not fried foods which I do not like anyways. I have done some WW recipes that he has enjoyed eating and were easy so I think I can get him to make some of these. All will be well, once I am moving around more (I will not rush this) I can make some meals and lose whatever I gained. At least once recovery is over I will be able to do more walking and get back to my recumbent exercise bike which will help. I have lost 38# in the last almost 6m with no exercising so it should be even easier once I can move without pain (I hope). I am still determined to lose more.
@CricketHip , yes running low on patience but these last few days seem to be flying. Of course, now had to stop my Celebrex till surgery so that is making life more interesting. This too shall pass soon. I almost don't believe that the wait is almost over and I made it.
