What's on your Menu today (Monday) RNYers?
Good morning! I had my final consult with my surgeon this morning, and they sent in some prescriptions for pain and nausea for me to pick up prior to Thursday so I have them at home. I will be in the hospital 2-3 days, however, my husband was out the next day because he was not in much pain and was up and walking and handling fluids, so I'm hoping I too will be a rockstar so I can heal at home. Of course I won't push to leave if I feel like I need to be there.
Qotd: yes I'm a teller, but I'll do so privately depending on the company we're keeping, and what the issue is. I'd expect people to do the same for me!
menu: liquids. Bone broth with a dash of hot sauce is keeping me sane right now. The hot sauce is a recent addition. I suddenly want to add it to everything (surgeon's NP said it was ok to add)

Thank you! I do feel very well prepared, both from DH and hanging around here for the past 6 months :)

Getting so close! Hot sauce is one of my best friends... and honestly, it started being my friend early out after surgery... Yum!

I've always liked spicy, but I think now I'm just bored with my menu so I'm spicing up everything (ok everything that spicy will go with anyway) broth, V8 (I can pretend I'm having a Bloody Mary?)

Hello Everyone
we just had rain all weekend so it was a wet mess but at least our rehearsals were t cancelled due to snow.
Accountability: my weekend was awful. My husband and daughter went to see a show my son was in. I couldn't leave rehearsals to go. I was at work all day, but when I was home alone I was not a good girl and I was miserable most of the time but couldn't break the cycle of eating. Thank goodness my pouch can't deal with too much or I would have been in even more trouble. Back on the wagon today.
QOTD: it depends on who it is. I should probably tell no matter what but sometimes I'm just not comfortable if it's someone I don't have much of a relationship with.
B: coffee and premier protein
L: chicken, lettuce and cheese
S: oatmeal with pb2
D: sirloin and broccoli
