What's on your Saturday menu?
QOTD: When I'm doing well, I eat 4 times a day. I consider them meals, no snacks. A Quest Bar is my go-to for a small meal. High protein, low calorie, yummy. Can't beat that.

Good morning ~ One of my staff has an English sheep dog, his nose is so adorable! I am restless. I want to go and do things. I'm bored and I feel like I'm grounded, haha. I cannot get into TV. I did run errands yesterday - post office and grocery store. Yes, I drove. I have yet to nap since getting home. Energy is intact - I can't get over it. It must be the drastic change with the initial surgery that just zapped me for a month. This one, I feel normal - hence the dream about whether or not I actually had the operation!
Today we are taking the dogs to the park for a walk, my oldest sister is coming by to visit and I'm troubleshooting/trying to get the ice maker to work - it stopped 4 days ago. I had no idea how ice dependant we were.
QOTD - Best protein mini meal/snack to me would be under 100 cals - An ounce of SF jerky, chomps, cheese, HB egg, yogurt. I also consider protein bars a whole meal. Protein chips/crackers are high cal for a snack to me but that flavor/crunch are worth it when craving****s that would send me to real carbs or to bump up a low protein day.
Accountability - Not hungry at all. BTW - French onion soup blows when strained and without the big crouton and cheese.

Have a wonderful day!

I was worried they hadn't really done the surgery when I had it the first (and only) time. No pain, nothing. I felt like nothing had happened (although I could tell when I started on solid food - restriction really kicked in!). It was pretty amazing since I was expecting the worst.

I had the same experience -- I thought they gave me a placebo surgery. I forget what I ate, and when, that put me in agony. Then I knew I had real surgery.

It sounds like your recovery couldn't really be going better, and that's wonderful to hear! Glad to hear you've got such energy and can drive already.
Think I'm the only person who doesn't use ice. Any time I'm having company over, I clean out the ice trays, run a few new ones, and toss them so my guests have fresh ice. I do use the water line all the time, though!
