Good news, bad news

Tia and I are in kind of a strange place right now. I'm once again holding steady at weight (even gained two days) while Tia is doing fantastic and losing about a pound a day. I'm so proud of her!

I need to do two things better: Get my water in and get more fiber in (things are backed up). Both of these significantly affect my weight loss.

I'm also kind of freaked out - I seem to be able to eat anything. Literally. I haven't found anything that I can't tolerate. This worries me considerably as I don't WANT to be able to eat anything. The temptation is too great. I know I'm only eating small amounts (although it's more than I expected to be able to eat) but still. The amount is weird too though. For example, I had almost an entire small chili from Wendy's! That included crackers and cheese too. That's just wrong. Other foods I'm full with about a half cup, so there's something about certain foods.

Tia is a bit more sensitive to things, but still not bad. Sweet drinks, which she used to live on (such as Propel) are now WAY too sweet, even watered down. I think her opening is smaller than mine as well as she really has to chew things finely to get it through.

So it's a weird time. I guess the thing that surprises me is that I didn't expect to be having to watch my diet so closely so soon after surgery. But whatever it takes, I'll do!
