What's on your menu today (Thursday) RNYers?

I saw that turkey and swiss roll...

and all my brain registered was SWISS ROLL....

as in chocolate and cream goodness....

"Little Debbie" snacks......I think Grim has had some things to say about those!!

Little Debbie swiss rolls rule! So do Hostess funny bones. They had stopped making those but I think they are making them again. K, i'm wiping the drool off my chin now! :)

What about the strawberry shortcake rolls?? My teeth still cringe for how sweet those things are.

Good morning all~ It actually rained here yesterday, weird little mini thunderstorms which are very unusual for CA since it never rains in summer. It has left a very hot muggy yuck that is still happening today. I swear I forgot what humidity felt like, oh yeah, it sucks!

QOTD - Healthy habits - Probably putting my health first and it's not negotiable. How I'm doing that would be daily OH, regular exercise, logging MFP, vitamins, fluids. I work really hard to meet all my goals daily.

Accountability - For dinner, I had chicken instead of shrimp which barely changed anything.

8 mo post op - 186 still, ugh

b- coffee w/cream and splenda, HB eggs

l-pepperoni/cheese

d-meatballs and a little gravy

v/l - on track

e-none -going to see dad tonight

Have a good day all!

Hi all

late post for me had to get a document out which I was supposed to get out last night but someone didn't sent to me till this morning. well- I had a quasi attack last night. I thought my twisted bowel/hernia was going to take care of this but it didn't apparently. So either it is the bile duct issue oR I'm really sensitive to carbonated beverages/sugar alcohols. I was feeling fine till I drank a diet mr hansens root beer and ate a glucerna bar last night with a lot of SA's in it. I felt super full of gas and pressure after which led to pain last night. So no more carbonated for me OR sugar alcohol. I do not want a repeat. On a high note, I was RELEASE ar the dr appt yesterday. Which really means I get to go kayaking and paddleboarding and yoga-ing anytime I want. So im trying to take it easy today but I didn't sleep last night and I'm already really tired.

We have my nephew coming today for the weekend so it will be fun. i think he is staying till sunday. saturday i think we will go to the local german restaurant as they will have a polka band- cant wait.

QOTD: I think the eating is second nature, reading nutritional labels, drinking craploads of liquids, taking vits.

food for today:

1 sausage link, protein cake, 1/2 CM yogurt

decaf iced coffee

not sure what else since I'm a little blerg with my insides.

need to figure out what to cook for dinner with company coming and he is a little picky on food but I know he eats chicken so at least there is that.

The only times I have had trouble since my last hernia repair have been when I have had sugar alcohols. I can drink sparkling mineral water no problem but any sort of sugar alcohols and I have lots of pain. I have been avoiding it and I haven't had any attack in several weeks. Hope you have no more too!

Kayaking sounds so awesome! I really want to try this soon. I saw a sign on the side of a country road in Georgia once years ago. it was right before Valentine's Day and it was one of those 'stick the letters in to make a message' signs. It said, "Nothing say I love you like a kayak." Never have truer words been written...lol A kayak does indeed say "I love you" in a very unique way. Now in my family whenever anyone sees a kayak they say, "Nothing says I love you like that" and we giggle. I think I want the kayak love!

thanks for this info. I went from just feeling a little pressure on my side to full blown pain in abdomen and around my low back. is that what you had? felt almost like a stone but on a wider spread area?

I got an inflatable kayak, been in it once and loved it.

Yes. I related it to a kidney stone pain as well. I little wider and higher but just as intense. Once the gas passed, I would feel much better though exhausted.

I'm so glad that is the cause. I was feeling perfect until then!! That pain is excruciating!!
