Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday 12/18/17

Good morning,

Im laughing at our weather today, it's raining and temperature is 36 this morning. I'll enjoy it while it last. I rather have rain than snow.

Qotd I can sing not as good as I was in school.

B egg mcmuffin and hash brown

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D sirloin pork chop and mixed vegetables

Have a good day

Happy Monday All! Food is just not appealing to me the last few days. The only thing that sounds remotely edible is refried beans and cheese. Not sure what that is all about? I also have been getting heart burn when I take my vitamins in the morning. This just started about two days ago. Trying to wrap up all the xmas shopping this week, but I did manage to get everything we already bought wrapped yesterday. Such a relief.

QOTD: I LOVE to sing, but cannot sing. In my next life I want to come back with an amazing singing voice.

B - coffee w/HH, light string cheese, and half an Iconic protein shake

S1 - maybe peanut butter and half a banana (nothing sounds good)

L - Left over steak and grill veggies

S2 - UGH...not sure

D - Faux nachos (this actually sounds good)

E - I am truly sucking at this but will be release starting next week and plan to start back to classes

W/V - On track

Are you taking your vites with food?

Yes! It only lasts about 20 minutes and then was gone each time. I didn't have to take any antacids. I go see the surgeon next week and will ask him about it if it continues.

Super weird! I know if I don't take my multi with food, I feel like puking shortly after. And one of the types of iron I take makes me feel pukey if I don't have lots of liquid with it.

Hopefully your doctor has a good answer.

Oh. I'm suddenly reminded. I have fructose malabsorption and many bariatric chewables have fructose as a main ingredient. At one point, I tried to get away from calcium horse pills and gave chewables another try and had a lot of acid issues. I stopped taking the chewables and was fine almost immediately.

(I knew fructose was an ingredient, I just figured that it was in such a small amount it couldn't possibly cause me problems. LOL, Gwen.)

Good morning! We had a busy weekend. We "did Christmas" with my extended family on Saturday. I went to a mass for my grandmother yesterday morning (she passed 11 months ago), and then we had a birthday dinner for Teddy. He turns two on Wednesday. If you ask him how old he is, he says four! Cracks me up.

QOTD - I love to sing, and I think I sing well, but I'm too embarrassed to sing in front of people. I've thought about taking voice lessons, but haven't taken the plunge.

B - latte, cottage cheese

L - sausage

S - protein shake

D - no idea. We have lots of leftovers from last night, so either that or eggs.

E - arm day

Water and vitamins on track

It took me a long time to work up the courage for voice lessons and even then I was SUPER scared before the first one. All these thoughts of "what if I just THINK I'm singing on pitch?" :P

Yes! Sometimes I record myself and listen to it - but then think "would I actually know if I didn't sound good?" My grandfather had a joke that he loved. If he heard you singing, he would ask what you did with the money. When you asked "what money?" he would respond "the money your mother gave you for singing lessons." As a kid, it really made me self-conscious.

Good morning! I have a lunch today with my very good friends to exchange Christmas prezzies. I'll be bringing my own soft food, which normally would bum me out, but I'm just so excited to be back on "food" today that I don't care! I am in the 150s today. It's not a great look...

QOTD: I come from a long line of terrible singers. I still belt it out when I'm alone, but try to spare others the experience.

B: coffee and yogurt

L: mac and cheese

D: chili

S: eggs, refried beans and cheese, tuna
