Whatcha Eating Today VSGers?? Monday

Happy Monday morning! I'm looking forward to a great week! Only 7 days with students and then Thansgiving and then 3 more weeks until Christmas break! And I'm taking 3 days off in December to go to Vegas with my husband. We have tickets to see Big & Rich and Trace Atkins during the NFR. Should be awesome! I'm going to be a vigilant eater during the next two weeks to prepare for Vegas. I haven't been since I had surgery and I'm a bit nervous about it.

B: leftover Mexican...mostly black beans and cheese

S: yogurt and granola 

L: leftover steak and cheese

D: mozzarella stuffed meatballs that are cooking in the crock pot. I'm pretty excited about this recipe! It is a new one for me.

W & V: on track ( I struggle drinking in the afternoon, so I'm trying to drink at least 50 ounces before lunch.)

E: I'm experiencing so pretty horrible back pain, so I'm not sure what, if anything, I will do today.

Next??

Breakfast- Strawberry Premier Protein Shake

Mid-Morning- Taco Cabana taco with 1 slice of bacon, egg, potato and cheese....no tortilla

Lunch- 2 oz Hormel summer sausage, 1 slice sargento Colby-jack thin cheese, 4 saltine crackers

Afternoon Snack- Inspire triple chocolate chip cookie

Dinner- Undecided (Need ideas)

Vitamins- on track

Water/Fluids- Okay....52.8 fl oz so far (41.8 oz= water, 11oz= protein shake)

Exercise: 30 minutes on treadmill this morning, walking while at work...so far 6,319 steps, I'm aiming for 10,000 steps or more!

I'm only 2 weeks out and on soft/pureed.

B - Oatmeal with natural peanut butter

L - White Bean Hummus

D - I think I'm going to have some pureed beef stew, which is what the Hubs is cooking up for the family tonight.  Wish me luck on that!

Extra Protein - 1/2 bottle of Isopure over ice and MAYBE a protein drink with skim milk, if I can do it.  Having a hard time with the shakes lately.

I'm doing pretty well on my liquids.  I have a hard time counting but I can generally tell by my body when I'm doing well.  I sip constantly except 30 minutes before a meal and 60 minutes post.

My energy is good but I still have a tugging pain in my tummy and get nauseated if I stand for too long.  Each day gets better.  Today's my first day back at work!  Just three more hours to go!

1. Chai with almond milk
2. Small piece muffaletta w/cheese
3. Ham, homemade vegetable soup

W&V: on track

E: Walked 1 mile

Hi All,

I just had my mushroom quiche for lunch, and was thinking how much I love my sleeve, as I finished my delightful meal, and realized I'm well under my calorie requirements for the day. 

breakfast - salmon  (275 calories)

Lunch - crustless mushroom quiche ( 350 calories)

Dinner - buffalo chicken and wheat thins (400 cals plus 140 for crackers)

Eating all these yummy foods, and I'm still under calories for the day by 100 to 200.  Not bad.  I  love my sleeve.
