5 oz Cups 

Today I was able to re-introduce protein into my diet.  It doesn't taste bad but it is thicker than I expected.  So far today I'm on point with my protein and liquid intake.  Trying to just sip, sip, sip like they all tell you.  

I took a sleeve of the small 5 oz cups from work.  They help me be able to visualize what I should be eating for each given "meal."  Not very much at all! 

I feel good overall - wearing Michael's belly binder is very helpful and comforting.  I still feel some gas from time to time.  Occasionally it's painful.  Other times it mimics hunger.  Pretty sure that's just head hunger but not positive.  I had thought I wasn't supposed to feel anything even resembling hunger - kind of annoyed that I am.  Hopefully the protein and/or release of pressure will help with that.  Drinking enough water will probably help too.  

All of this is just one day at a time.  FB has been a bombardment of delicious recipes throughout my newsfeed lately.  Including some really good looking dishes for 4th of July BBQs, etc.  it's made me really eager to eat real food again but I know that's going to be a while yet.  

Part of me is still scared this won't work for me.  What if I've gone through ALL of this and I fail?  That's why I'm following the rules to a T.  That simply cannot be my story!
