What are you eating/doing Tuesday?
Post Op RNY 11+ months
Good morning Ontarians! Supposed to be a nice mild day, I'll take that. I am sooo sore and tired this morning. I think I'll take a break from my routine and just take the dogs for a good walk this evening. Must remember that I am not a machine (yet)! Likely a quiet day at work which will give me time to get started on my next assignment.
Eats today:
B - 3 BLT boats with light mayo
S - Skyr yogurt with blueberries
L - 4 oz chicken with sautéed veg, 1 tbsp. of cheese
S - 4 slices deli turkey
D - light crusted herb haddock with some tomato slices, bit of coleslaw
Total Cal 951, carbs 58, protein 105
Have a great day!
Oh yeah, I adjusted my ticker to reflect my first weigh-in at the clinic when I started this process. It's a more true reflection of how far I've come!
Good morning everyone. Ginny you have come a long way. You are doing so well.
Today I'm checking out another gym in the morning, and then this afternoon DH and I are going to Toronto so that he can see clients and I'm tagging along so that I can shop.
The eats today at 2.5 years post-op are:
Many decafs throughout the day
Scrambled eggs with fresh salsa and hot peppers
Kale/Broccoli slaw with shrimp and an Asian style dressing
Not sure for dinner. If we eat in Toronto it will be protein and some veg. If we wait til we get home, it will be steak fajita with guacamole, fresh salsa, peppers, and no wrap
SKYR yogurt with all the fixin's
Have a great day everyone.

Thanks CC. So easy to get frustrated when the scale refuses to move. I get discouraged when I look at how "little" I've actually lost since surgery day. It helps to look at the big picture to see just how far I've come and to know that it really isn't all about the surgery itself.
Have fun in Toronto today, and as you would say, get yourself something Purdy!
Good morning :)

Hi all,
It's a very windy, cold day in the Sault today and I foolishly went for a walk outside because I've been trying to build up my strength again from the pneumonia/bed rest. So today was day 3 of walking outside and OMG, the wind kept pushing me back, lol. I was well dressed for the weather with my winter coat with hood, scarf, and mittens, but had to hold my hood in place as the wind kept pushing it off. I only walked for 20 minutes because it was so awful out there. Yesterday it was so nice and mild I went for two short walks; hopefully tomorrow will be nice again.
I ordered a faux fitbit from China and it works really well, so I"m happy with that. I've also been using my phone and the MapMyWalk app, which is really cool.
I"m feeling better but still not back to normal; my short walks really tire me out. My doctor said it may take a month or more to fully recover, but at least I can go for short walks again; I was getting stir crazy.
My eats:
Breakfast: Premier Protein, strawberries and cream flavor.
Lunch: Pureed stuffed red bell pepper (stuffed with ground pork and 1tbsp rice because my Mom wouldn't leave the rice out altogether, lol), plus 1/4 cup low carb tomato sauce to make it puree more easily. It was delish, and went down so easily.
Supper: Unsure, possibly chicken or pureed rib.
Snack: Skyr yogurt with cinnamon and splenda. Does anyone else keep calling it Skyrim yogurt, lol?
