Did you eat today????? Well, I didnt eat the english peas w/dinner, I decided to have just 2 small fillets and nothing else. 

Stressful Friday! Always stressful on a holiday weekend!
2 cups black coffee, s.f non-fat latte
Bradley County tomato & bacon sand (only 1/2) OMG! That was probably the best tasting food I have had since surgery! I missed tomatoes last year and boy did it taste good today!
Snack: Yep 1/2 sliced tomato!
Dinner: fish, brown beans, and 2 bites of tomato!
1 s/f ice cream bar
I drank lots & lots today! It is time for my B-12 shot again.
The only kind of fish I eat is Catfish. I am allergic to seafood! No shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, nothing! It would be easier for me to plan my meals if I could eat seafood.
Who else ate today?

Rhonda, I'd die if I couldn't eat shellfish or my mahimahi and tilapia!!!   Your sandwich sounds wonderful. It's the little things in life, huh? wake up   latte bkfst:      whole wheat tortilla quesidilla way to work:      latte Snack:      10 cashews Lunch:      SBD  chicken caprese ----very yummy, by the way! Snack;      protein shake Dinner:      Stouffer's chicken teriyaki Snack:      6 whole wheat crackers w/ LF cream cheese

Hi there my friend, Yes, this is certainly better than the day you told me about on the phone, but while it's high in protein there isn't much else there.  Is the ice cream fat free or low fat as well as sugar free?  I sometimes use vanilla frozen yogurt in my protein shakes too, much lower in fat. Careful about stopping the coffee, you have enough trouble with headaches already. You sure don't want to add caffeine withdrawl  headaches to the mix. 

Susan, Ice cream is NO SUGAR ADDED, low fat.  Drinking enough tea to balance out the coffee minimum.  I have never really liked cold coffee, but that shake was da bomb!!!  Gonna try some homemade iced coffee today (sat).  Im having to start over eating, remembering what to get, how much, etc.   Never an easy balance, I either eat right and dont move, or I move and cant eat right!!! Agggghhhhh, is there ever an end to this scientific balancing act.   Sheesh, you are up early, I have been up since 3:30, steroids got me buzzing, but fixing to lay back down and try for a napper before I start my day completly.  Have a good one, talk laters.

See, now is when this whole WLS stuff gets hard!  losing wasn't ever the problem for me, but this big balancing act called maintaining is what's tough!!! By eating everything that wasn't tied down and drinking calories I managed to get back up to 123. Well, then I panicked and decided I hated eating every waking moment, so I've gone back to my sensible 1500-1700 cals a day, three meals plus one or two snack. Also started protein shakes again since my numbers were a little low there. This is a very, very comfortable routine for me, what I've been doing for nearly two years, so I don't have to think much. So.........I get on the scale today and I've lost 4lbs...back to 119.2 I don't dislike this weight, what I'm steamed about is that I can't find that happy medium where I'm more stable. Of course, I'd put a knife in my eye before I call JoBeth to ask for help, so I'm going to figure this out on my own. We're in this together, sister.  We CAN do this!
