What are you eating/doing today (Saturday)

2.5 weeks post op

ahhhhh I am on my own today....well with my 3 cats! Hubby and son and 2 dogs went up to the trailer to give it a good cleaning and hang out for the day/night.  I look forward to doing some housecleaning, watching a movie or two and continuing to learn how to crochet!  Will get on the treadmill for 30 minutes today too.  I am feeling so much better.....every day my energy increases.  Hope everyone has a fantastic long weekend!!!

ok....so when I do my daily menu in the morning....it is what I plan on eating.  LOL  Obviously my eyes and mind are way bigger than my pouch! LOL  I ended up only having

This looks better - I was getting a little concerned by your list of food consumption.  I would also ditch the saltines - they add nothing nutritionally and you really dont need them at this point

I ran approx 450- 600 calories the first 3-4 months sticking to dense protein and a few veggies.  Make the most of the first 6 months

Good luck

Thanks so much for your reply. I agree I am going to skip the crackers for awhile.  I was trying to get in all the food groups....but they do add a lot of carbs and calories.  There is an italian ice pop i bought but has 10 g sugar...I only had one but think I need to ditch those too....stick to my sf jellos. I am gettings loads of protein and atill need to up my water intake.  Thanks again :)

Yes ditch the ice pops - 10g sugar is a lot. I never ate over 7g in the losing phase (and for several years after that) and that was the count in my yogurt, not a "treat". I had no time or space in my gut for treats of any sort.

Afternoon all. Had a good nap, woke up at 6:30am had some water went back to sleep till 9,ate breakfast and then slept till 11:30am. I was tired and still sleepy as i type this at 12:30pm. Don't like taking naps as i wont sleep at night.

Hope everyone has a great day, Nia.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!  Today I made the crustless quiche and mini meatloaf recipes.  They both turned out amazing, so good. I don't have a mini loaf pan so I made 12 muffin size meatloaves.  Myfitness pal is great for figuring out the nutrition numbers for a single serving.  So much easier than trying to figure it out yourself. 

B- 2 crustless quiche

L- Source greek yogurt, strawberry

D- mini meatloaf, 10gr havarti inferno melted on top

S- I premier protein, and 1 syntrax fuzzy naval proteing shake, throughout the day.

Myfitnesspal totals: Calories 545, Carbs 13, Fat 15, Protein 84.

I may have another of the 50 calorie yogurt before bed tonight.

All vits and lots of water.
