What did ya eat today - Friday?

Hi Everyone! How are ya? Today was hectic, went to the female doctor (can we say fun fun... she was happy with my weight loss though!) and then had lots of errands to run. Of course lunch rolls around and hubby wants chinese.. men I tell ya! SO we hit this buffet (I am already whizzing down my leg about it) and they have NOTHING that isn't drenched in their mysterious sauces.. so I get a menu. Other than egg drop soup which I know won't keep my hunger down.. there wasn't much of anything for my pickiness. I ask the waitress can I order some steamed chicken and veggies, you would think I was talking in a totally different language.. ok more wetting of the pants for melissa. So I go on a limb and I get egg foo young.. protein, vegtables.. ok. Tell her to leave off the gravy, hold the rice.. THREE HUGE PATTIES come out.. wow. All pretty greasy I might add.. sigh. I spend the next 10 minutes blotting the thing off with a napkin, husband is thouroughly embarassed at this point. Anyway fat tends to make me go to the bathroom, I will leave it at that. So I go ahead and eat 1 patty.. stop there. Full. I actually did ok.. but still not my fav thing to eat as a post op. OK enough of my rambling pant wetting stories.. I kinda am a freak aren't I? This is what I ate today.. B: Peanut Butter Granola Atkins Bar L: You guessed it.. Shrimp Egg Foo Young.. one patty. D: 3 oz chicken with 1/2 ounce low fat monteray jack melted on top with 1 oz of black beans. S: not sure yet.. I really thought the cals on that egg foo young would do me in.. that or fitday is being nice.. the fat was high not gonna lie... here are my stats so far. Cals 581, fat 26 (yuck), carbs 29, protein 57... I am ok and still in the running for an ok day with totals.. need some more cals, more proteins.. maybe a shake later and possibly a mini bag of popcorn? What did you eat today?

Oh, Melissa. I started reading your post just as I had finished a half-cup serving of nsa ice cream and I can already feel the dumping starting. So I'll post quickly and go die quietly. 1) frosty protein shake 2) 2 turkey/cheese rollups 3) 100 cal mini bag popcorn 4) 2 turkey/cheese rollups 5) 1/2 cup nsa ice cream....WHY????? 6) if I ever eat again at all it will be watermelon Ice cream really, really, really is not so attractive to me anymore. This surgery has been such a Godsend in helping cure me of it but it is really hot here today and I thought that it would be tasty since I'd eaten so well today. Nooo..... When will I learn to keep it to 1/4 cup or even 1/3 cup????

Oh Molly.. I am so sorry, I have been scared to death of that stuff b/c of what i hear on the boards and because I was diabetic.. well I tried the stuff preop and it killed be then.. so not gonna even try now, I can only imagine how bad u are feeling and I am sorry. *hugs* Hope the dump doesn't last long.

You are so sweet Melissa. On the plus side, now I really don't need to take my extra fiber supplement today. Honestly, I have been buying nsa ice cream for about a year and a half now so my family is accustomed to it. Doesn't bother them and since my surgery it really hasn't been a temptation for me too often. Guess it has been awhile since I've had any and I'd forgotten that I can't eat a half cup. If I keep it to 1/4 or 1/3 cup it doesn't make me sick. Just one more reason to be so very grateful for this surgery. Molly

Hi girls ok a little busy today and getting ready to make dinner bfast - protien shake with 1 tsp pb, cocoa, soy milk and half of a banana(was delicious)!! took me an hour and a half to finish lunch - small tossed salad with vinegaette adn the topping off two slices of veggie pizza, and 2 bites of a cinnamon stick snack - do I really have to say an ice cream cone from Mc Donalds, I asked for an extra cone and filled it up to the edge with ice cream - had a mini dump so won't be doing that again dinner - taco salad with lots of salsa snack - probably cantelop and a sf popcicle

I was low on cals so I basically just had another meal. I had a whole grain/flax seed pita pocket toasted till very crunchy (yum, liking these more than the tortillas.. 80 cals, 16 carbs, 5 proteins. Then I spread my light laughing cow swiss cheese on it, 3 oz turkey, romaine and onion (sprinkle of) and splash of vinegar and greek seasoning. Yum!

What is the brand of greek seasoning you use? I can't find one that I like

I use Cavendars... get it at walmart big yellow thing of it.

Oops I was wrong on the pita.. its 5 fibers and 4 proteins, 80 cals, 16 carbs. They are made by kangaroo and they are preopened. They are at walmart near the deli.. much better toasted to me. Hope u like them if u try them.. loving them!

Hello All B: 2 oz Lemon pepper tuna in that pouch (ate less than half) L: 3 bites of supreme pizza of my husbands D: havent decided yet but i really have hunger pains bad Is there anyone else that gets hunger pains still? i just thought i wouldnt after surgery bypassed stomach must be working extra hard today.
