A link from the main board for what peeps ate on 2/9 http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/messageboard/postdetail/169041.html?vc=0 SO far I've had some grape propel water & a hot tea .. a warm sal****er garggle... a swig of leftover T-3 elixer. I can't wait to see what my Dr. has to say today.... 11 minutes left until I can call for an appointment.

Okay here we go: AM Propel grape flavored fitness water hot tea Noon - in the car.. about 5 pieces of chex mix After noon - hot tea & berry flavored propel Slice of browned scraple and GET THIS - AN EGG! You see that Karen?? I ate an egg and it was good! It felt good goin down, no problemo! I didn't scramble it - I just cracked it in the pan & let it cook then flipped it over and cooked the other side. I was so surprised. And happy 1/3 of a Snickers Marathon energy bar in the Multi grain crunch. This is SOOOO good. Probably has too many card/sugars for some people. But it is a great treat while still being health concious - 13 carbs, 4.5 protein, 110 cal, 9 sugars. evening dinner 2-3 oz cubed Munster cheese on bed of lettuce & cut up cucumbers with ranch dressing. Ate most of the cheese first then had a little of the veggie. Still working on the fluids - they have taken a hit the last few days. Mon & Tues I missed my protein drink. Back on the train 1st thing tomorrow morning. I got my FF milk tonight.

It is still early here for my tum this morning ... but I will give you the lowdown thus far. 1.5 slices of extremely thin already cooked bacon from Cosco - great deal for us post-ops btw ... makes getting a piece of bacon soooo easy. Protein gms ? (haven't checked and I do eat it enough to know by heart yet) Morning Vitamins (Vista) B-12 sub-lingual (Trader Joes) Currently working on morning snack - protein shake Whey Fruity (fruit punch - www.bariatriceating.com) Yummy! 27 gms protein Now for yesterday ... it was not at all typical of what I eat, but here goes anyway ... Breakfast - 1.5 oz cheese (reduced fat sharp cheddar - Martins Grocery Store) 12 gms protein Lunch - Was out and running around so we stopped by Taco Bell - I ordered the steak soft taco. Ate about 1/4 of the steak, most all the cheese (they were a bit stingy with it yesterday BTW) and a couple of the small pieces of tomatoes. None of the tortilla, still too chicken to really try it! Protein ? Afternoon Snack - 1/3 protein bar 10 gms protein (Triple Delicious High Protein Bar - from Carb Busters - SIMPLY the best protein bar I have ever tasted - and I have eaten a couple of really good ones!) Dinner - Another 1/3 of the protein bar from earlier ... another 10 gms of protein. Evening Vitamins (Vista) and then a couple of pretzel chunks Before Bed - Needed to get in more protein for the day and I was excited because I had received some new protein samples ... made one up and YUCK! The worst I have ever tasted in my whole life!!! YUCK ... will get the name for you guys and let you know. They sounded so wonderful, and I thought I was going to be in love ... it is NOT so. I have extra samples that I will be sure to bring to our next exchange, just in case someone else would want to try them. Anyway, I asked hubby to try it ... he did and he said he couldn't drink it either. So I poured it down the drain and made my good ole Chocolate Unjury with milk. (www.unjury.com) 28 gms of protein with the milk. I figure I got in about 70 gms of protein, missed getting in all my water (unusual for me anymore - got in only about 56 ozs)

This was posted by me over on MSN yesterday. You asked for it, so here it is. I am a creature of habit so I do get into ruts, but I've found that varying lunch and dinner during the week I'm still pretty happy.
