What are you eating/doing today (Wednesday)
RNY 6 Years 8 Months Post Op
Morning
Lots on the go today - home tonight for dinner and I have promised my DH that I would make him his favorite pasta dish. He is getting this instead of baking for Christmas. I rarely eat pasta and usually save it for a few times per year on special occasions. If I do eat 1.5 cups - which I should be able to - the calorie count just for this meal is over 800 calories and a whopping 90 carb grams. And this is with me knowing whats inside it. Hence my issues with eating pasta. Plus its just too good!
STEPS - 7734
EATS
B - 2 large mugs of coffee
3 oz leftover pecan crusted salmon
L - 1 Ham roll up plus 1/2 ham sandwich
D - 1/5 cups of sausage tortellini in olive oil and wine sauce, zucchini and peppers thrown in for color
grated reggiano on top
S - Source dessert yogurt
MYFITNESSPAL totals for the above menu are: Calories - 1,369, Carbs - 122 Grams, Fat - 59 Grams, Protein - 82 Grams,
All water and vits
Have a great one
Your pasta does sound great.
I went to a party last night and only had 2 cheese and crackers. There were amazing cupcakes , chinese food, pizza and these great chocolate slice squares. Will power held
I am going to have one of those 'who knows what I will eat days'. I have planned but only loosely Our Holiday party is today. However I have also brought my lunch so I may look at what is there and then pick one or two items or just have my lunch instead.
Also we are going out to dinner tonight. I will keep reminding myself of this while I gaze at all the great goodies in the office.
So planned is
b greek yogurt, raspberries
l chili, source yogurt
s one goodie
d either a salad with protein or 1/2 a wrap
I have not even tried to work out the calories since I know this is just one bad day.
I need this season to be over!! I am not sure how much longer before I gain a million pounds
Pat, I'm still pre-op but your day sounds like mine. Lunch in the office (curry chicken with rice - not too bad if I go easy on the rice) and out with friends tonight for dinner. However tomorrow I go to Surgery Ed class and I will be weighed in first. UGH. Just had an appt. last week so I don't expect a change but you never know if I go rogue today.
I've been trying to eat the post-op way just to prepare myself, some days are better than others.
