Check out the recipes for Cauli-rice, it makes a fabulous fried rice substitute, and you can make a sort-of bread from the potato puree packets, or mash the potato puree into cauliflower for a sort-of mashed potato. Check out Rainbowsmiles' recipes (Lisa always links them in the first post of the Daily Chat thread).
Be imaginative with those packets - it will really help keep the frustration with packet food and the boredom with the "sameness" from hitting you too quickly.

Be careful with this one as it may slow down your intake of water and salt water has a tendency to make people feel a little nauseous. If you're struggling with sodium, try half a cup of a lower sodium fat free broth.

Patience! Your body is unique - it is changing its metabolic processes and adapting on the fly. There will be weeks when you lose big, and weeks when you don't ... roll with it, it'll all come off in the end.
Stay strong April folks! You've got this, you CAN do it. One meal at a time until it becomes habit.
