What are you eating today ?

Hi Dec. Folks, I was wondering what everyone was eating today.. I'm looking for some variety and just curious.. I had a follow up visist with my surgeon today and was surprised to find that my cholesterol is at 238 I'm wondering if I'm eating too much cheese.. have a nice day Elaine

well... I had my blood work done but haven't gotten the results because they were misplaced at my Dr's office...of course. I haven't been back by to follow up yet. I have to go in 2 weeks for my allergy shots and might as well wait til then. I know my overall number is good but my triglycerides were still high for my 6 month eval. I hope there is improvement. But I know I am not eating healthy. I am just eating LESS amounts of the bad stuff. I have switched to Reduced Fat cheeses at home (Cabot 50 or 75% RF) and the RF Kraft or Sargento Shredded Mild Cheddar or Mozzarellas etc... SO I am making some changes that I would have NEVER ever considered doing in the past. I try to do the RF chips or the 100 calorie snack packs OR count out the servings for snack foods. I normally only eat a few

I go to my PCP on 2/28 for an annual physical. When I had appointment with my surgeon in January my labs were good. (chol ws 176) I don't know if I eat "exciting" but I try to eat good and I enjoy what I do eat. Breakfast: Cooked Oats w/spoonful each of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries & soy milk. cafe con leche w/splenda Lunch: 4 small boiled shrimp & salad Dinner: 2-3 oz of spaghetti, 1/2 salad Protein drink & yogurt before bed. Blessings to all, LuvitsunnyV

My LDL was 110 and my good cholesterol was 149. My PCP says for a high protein diet that is good. But I am concerned about the LDL. That shouldn't be over 80. So I cut down on the red meat and upped the shakes. It's now 92. I'm still working on it. Menu for today: am shake b-fast, 1c cottage cheese, low fat, 1 low carb tortilla, and two oz low fat sharp cheese spread. snack:apple lunch: 2oz pork chop, 1/2 c brown rice, 1/2 cauliflower with low fat cheese sause (leftovers from supper) snack:shake supper: 3oz chicken and a salad w/bleu cheese dressing, just 2tbsp, but its Maries,(yum) IF I have dessert, its a sf/ff/ popcicle or fudgecicle. It's about 1000 calories. Nona

Oh, My gosh...true confession time here. Yesterday was a bad day. I worked a 12hour night shift on Monday Night and did not get to sleep till 7pm on Tuesday. So after being up almost 30hours strait I was grumpy and munching on anything and everything all day. Tuesday 4am- protien shake 6am- protien shake 8am- 1/2c rice 9am- handfull of captin crunch cereal 11am-hotdogbun w/ketchup (no idea why) 12pm-handfull of fritos corn chips 2pm-flour tortilla 3pm-1/2 klondike icecream bar 5pm-1 cheese stick and 6 whole wheat crackers 6:30-1/2 terriaky chicken thigh, 1/2c rice, 2T carrots (finally a decent meal) CARBS*CARBS*CARBS*YUCK*YUCK*YUCK Even with WLS it is so easy to snack all day and on all the wrong things. Well, back on track for me today. Wish me luck. Kimberly 245/119 *but not for long if I keep eating like that
