They are about 100 calories, and like the cream of mushroom is very tasty and has teeny tiny croutons in it, like an eighth of an inch big, so cuuuute! They hit the spot at night sometimes.
I literally am trying to eat a can of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup right now. I ate the noodles. I couldn’t eat the broth. Depression absolutely sucks. I just weighed myself and now I’m at about a 16 pound weight loss in just under 3 weeks. I’m scared to tell anyone what’s going on.

You might want to drink more water maybe, but that doesnt sound unreasonable to me for your surgery. Cuz there would have been water retention all over your body as you were healing. From what ive read, 5 lbs each, and 5lbs water retention from surgery. Do you want to talk about whats going on? You can pm me if you want.

I had a little package of apples and peanut butter and then a little package of carrots and ranch for breakfast. The ranch dip was kind of gross so I left about 2/3 of it. Then I had a Coke around 9. For lunch I had this block of cheese that you heat up and it’s supposed to be like mozzarella stick type stuff. Total I’ve had around 982 calories. I am super super tired for some reason so I may just go to bed.

Today is my birthday. So I pretty much ate what I wanted. But I don't think it was too bad. I had a couple of muffins this morning, Chinese for lunch and meatloaf and potatoes for dinner. I've been pretty full all day and I did a few house chores. So I think it went well.

I’m down another pound. So that’s 13 in just under 3 weeks. So far today I’ve had a Mountain Dew, a package of Ritz peanut butter and crackers, a pouch of tuna, a chocolate pudding, a 100 calorie pack of nuts, and a Hershey’s strawberries and cream candy bar. I’ve had 920 calories so far and I told myself I could have a cheat day but I’m just honestly not in the mood for food. I don’t feel the greatest physically. We are supposed to be getting Denny’s for dinner. I may just have a can of soup.

I've done well today. I had spaghetti and meatballs and a can of soup. I've also done a lot around the house.

Yesterday I had a microwavable thing of Campbell’s French onion soup, a little container of apples and peanut butter, and an Amy’s organic Mac and cheese dinner. I also had a medium iced coffee from Sonic.

I started a new med that may cause weight gain. And I’m off my topamax too now. I took the new one last night and I just went to bed after. Right now I have a mild craving for nachos but I also feel sick as hell at the same time. So we’ll see how it goes. If my weight goes up from a med I usually take myself off it.

I downloaded the Noom app. But I haven't had time to use it. I prefer logging my food mentally. But I'm hoping to get tips out of the app.

@Deilla have you looked into using an RX card for your med insurance won’t pay for? One of my new ones isn’t covered by my insurance but with the RX app I was able to get it as low as $18 from one pharmacy. Way better than the $80 without.

Today I had half an iced coffee from Starbucks. A Jif To Go peanut butter cup, a bowl of double noodle Campbell’s soup without the broth, and another cup of peanut butter. I wonder if I’m making unhealthy choices by eating straight up peanut butter. It’s so filling. Right now I’m at 1,020 calories. Sometimes I don’t understand healthcare professionals.

Because I'm on medicare, I've been told I can't use those cards. Thanks for asking. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Really? I’m on Medicare and I can use them. Weird. I hate how the rules are different for no apparent reason. I hate drug companies so much.

Oh, strange. Maybe it's something different then. It's an RX app card? Like GoodRx? Maybe I will look into that.

Yeah it’s an online thing. We called the pharmacy and he told us to download it. I’ve used it when I’ve had just Medicare and I’m using it now with Medicare and a supplement.

I ate a little bag of peanuts before dinner and couldn’t eat dinner. Peanuts had 7 grams of protein. My mom talked to me about not eating much dinner. The new med has been weird. My hunger has been all over the place. so I’m probably just maintaining my weight loss. Maybe I’ll try the peanuts before dinner tommorow night since nights can be hard with my hunger. Each bag has 170 calories. I’m now also into Jif to go peanut butter cups. Each cup has 9 grams of protein.

I've decided to cut back on the amount of pasta I eat. I will instead have brown rice, vegetables and beans. I will also cut back on fried foods. So less ordering from McDonald's. I really have to make some changes.

So far today I’ve had about 920 calories. A little bit less than that since I didn’t finish my soup. I’m going to have some brussel sprouts and chicken for dinner. I don’t plan on going over 1100. I walked around the block today.

I did a lot of emotional eating today. But I did have fruit and vegetables. And I did some work around my place. So maybe it will balance out.

I have made some improvements.cut out a lot of sugar stuff had only the odd weekly chocolate instead of eating it everyday.So I think that's good.I am still obese
and I haven't lost any weight but not gaining either so that is also good.Let's see if being on lockdown and not being able to go to the cafe helps me avoid fattening foods,and see if I can continue virtually no sugar and cut down on carbs and fat.Try exercise more too.

I feel like I'm making progress. It's a little easier to breathe now and I can stand up longer. So maybe I lost some weight. I'm afraid to step on the scale. I've been focusing on eating better. It's hard right now to do housework because of an injury. So maybe I can do some chair aerobics for exercise.
