Hi Melissa I had the idea bacon isn't a very good thing for our pouch because of the fat... did you feel fine after eating it???

Yes the bacon set very well with me, I tried it because I was tired of the same ole routine, and it is PROTEIN. Hugs, Melissa

B - A taste of scrambled egg (wasn't in the mood, gave it to the kids) 1 tbsp of refried beans with cheese 1 tbsp of cottage cheese L - 3 oz tuna and 2 low salt table crackers S - 1/2 small potato mashed with beef stew broth D - 3 oz tuna and 3 crackers and a tiny bite of mushed banana (yum) Water: About 25 oz so far Vitamins: Faithfully YES Exercise: Still too lazy, maybe next week

B - 1/2 banana, 3 melba rounds with low fat peanut butter L - 1/3 cup chili S - 1 slice avocado pear, 1/4 salmon salad, 2 tater tots, 2 slices havarti cheese with jalapeno peppers Snack - 1 very small slice watermelon, 1 slice peeled apple Water - 4 glasses Vitamins - Yup Calcium - Wouldn't miss it for the world....YUM!!! Iron - Don't need to take it. Exercise - every time I get out of the chair (grin). I'm still kinda tired...or possible lazy too. Take care, Di 331/300.3/anything less

Hi Diana Don't the jalapeños make your pouch hurt?? I love jalapeños but will be scared to try them...

Hi CL, The peppers are actually right in the cheese itself, and it is only the flesh, not the ribs or the seeds, where the majority of the heat is. I also have a jar of pepper slices in the fridge, but I've been too chicken to try them!! Take care, Di 331/299.7/anything less

I'm trying to focus on the protein. I have to spread it out through the day; I'm not organized into meals yet. 1/2 c milk 3 T cottage cheese 1/2 c split pea soup thinned with broth 1 poached egg 1/2 c milk 8 oz protein shake 1/4 c yogurt Not sure how well I'm doing on fluids; I have water bottles littered all over the house and just try to remember to sip as often as I remember. The poached eggs are sitting well and really taste good to me. That's my daily treat. I have to force myself to drink the protein shake. Exercise? Hell no, I just had major surgery last week, for heaven's sake. My belly is still very sore and aches if I stand for more than a few minutes at a time. I guess some people recover more quickly than others. The bad breath from ketosis seems to be diminishing, or maybe I'm getting more used to it. The nasty B.O. I complained of seems to have gone by the wayside; someone suggested it was a byproduct of all the anesthesia and other hospital drugs. Vitamins: definitely, two chewables a day. Also 2 pepcids a day, crushed into yogurt or a bit of pureed peaches (baby food). And I'M OFF MY HYPERTENSION DRUGS! I was taking 3 pills/day for HBP last June; now I need zero. I've lost 51 lbs since June; 12 of those pounds came off since RNY. MY ENGAGEMENT RING FITS! This just keeps getting better, and I'm less than 2 weeks out. Wow.

Wow Sheryl..we had surgery almost the same day and I'm still on clear liquids..! lucky you!! and my doctor wants me walking 8 times a day 10 mins...! You are lucky!
