Monday Moments

It's your Monday wake-up call.
What's got you movin' this a.m.? Got a busy day ahead and I've started my decaf coffee. Where did the weekend go?
How about those record lows in Florida? Wouldn't want to be them without warm clothes and insulation...
QOTD-What's a normal breakfast for you? Did you eat breakfast before WLS? I've always had breakfast, but the difference is what I have for breakfast and the amount. I usually have weight control oatmeal made with low-fat milk or a high protein cereal....
Love breakfast!!!

Good Morning All,

The funk has left so I am feeling much better.  Today I am going to Henry Ford with my mom and dad.  She had a liver transplant and has to go once a month for a shot.  I am going to pick up some meds from there and look into a endocrinologist there. 

QOTD:  I always have a protein drink in the morning and then a little later I have food.  My favorite is baked eggs.  It started out as one of eggface's recipes but has since morphed into my own creation. 

Is the first weekend in May still on for Holland??  If so I need to ask for the time off now.  There is only 3 of us in the office so I want to make sure I get the time off.

Good morning Deb!

This is my last week off work so I am still in my jammies drinking decaf coffee.  We got a couple inches of snow here and I need to head out later to the college with my hubby, that way I can get some walking in.

QOTD--I am still on full liquids so I am a bit limited. Hopefully I  can get to pureed foods when I see the doctor tomorrow.  Yes I always ate breakfast before WLS.

Have a great day!

Good Morning!

Water this morning for me.  Chili for breakfast :)  I had a good weekend with my family.  Church yesterday and then a long lazy day afterward.  I actually got to read a book!

QOTD~ I never ever ate breakfast before wls. Now I eat it almost eeryday.  If I cant get breakfast then I try to at least get a protein drink in.  Today breakfast is chili.  Lots of protein and nice and warm. 

Have a good day all!

Morning

I am so tickled to see the snow this morning. I am feeling like crap though because I am battling a sinus infection. I hate this feeling. I hope it goes away soon. I was hoping to get out shopping for awhile today but not the way I feel so I will go out tomorrow and get my shopping done.

QOTD: Before WLS I usually skipped breakfast... And now I cannot go without it.

I tend to grab a granola bar or eat yogurt with fruit in it. I cannot handle milk well but if I have soy milk in the house I will have a bowl of cereal.

Good Morning!
I worked midnight shift last night and will head home in about an hour to get some sleep.  I was teasing everyone that we should stock up on frozen orange juice today before the prices climb to high. . .also I bet the peaches from Georgia will also be expensive.

QOTD- I have always eaten breakfast . . now if I don't I get to shaky . . I am on a scrambled egg kick right now.  I make them the night before with all kinds of veggies and then add a little cheese . . they reheat nicely so I have no excuse not to eat breakfast here at work. 

Enjoy your day!

Hi Deb!  I took your suggestion last Fri and went snowshoeing for the first time ever!  Had a blast and it was just gorgeous Sat - sunny, no wind, but real cold - but it was a lot of fun.

QOTD:  I've never been a big breakfast eater.  I always just had coffee in the morning - now it has changed what I put in it. Pre-op I would put full sugar flavored creamers in it - now I used my protein powder and maybe some SF syrups to flavor it.

 

I never thought of flavoring it with protein powder.  Thanks for the tip.

Just be sure your coffee is UNDER 130 degrees or your protein will clump and get REAL nasty.  I have a small meat thermometer I use - and if it needs cooled off - add a few ice cubes.  After you've done it awhile you'll know how many you'll need.

Glad I could help!
