What are you eating/doing this Friday?
Good morning Culinary Counting Cuties. Welcome to your beautiful weekend. Today I am going swimming, then tonight is date night, so dinner out and listening to live music.
Accountability: Ended up going out for dinner and had wings with a salad
Question of the Day: What type of vitamin does your Centre recommend? Guelph recommends a prenatal multivitamin daily. I am old enough that I am slightly embarrassed when I buy my vitamins at Costco. I'm afraid someone will say "How far along are you", lol.
The eats today at 3 years 11 months are:
B. Rivers of decaf with cream
S. Protein iced coffee
L. Half of an avocado with spicy crab spread.
D. Not sure what I'm going to order but it will be protein first.
Have a great weekend everyone. Make great choices and enjoy this beautiful weather.

Good morning :)
I have an appointment at the hospital and then my friend might bring her puppy over again. Other than that the only thing on my to do list is a nap. Puppies do not sleep well when it is warm. They alternate between snuggling me and sleeping on the cool bathroom tile floor.
QOTD: I'm on so many vitamins right now... The main one is the Kirkland prenatal. I also take extra vitamin D, B12, calcium, and iron. I like the Bariatric Advantage chewable calcium citrate in chocolate flavour.
Post-op three years and four months.
Breakfast - protein shake with blueberries
Snack - almonds and dates
Lunch - leftover chicken burrito
Snack - cheese and pepperoni
Dinner - pork roast and veggies
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
Hope everything goes well at the hospital.

Good morning! CC, you're cracking me up!
Got home from Toronto yesterday, it's so nice to be back in my own bed. The plan for today (and the weekend) is to watch Netflix, walk around the house and yard every hour, toot as much as possible (the toots started yesterday, lol, luckily I haven't had much gas pain), and sip away at my protein shakes and water. SF freezies are wonderful!
QOTD: My centre recommends chewable/liquid etc vitamins for 4-8 weeks after surgery. They have 4 different recommendations of good supplement combos for this period. I went with Celebrate Bariatric Supplement and Celebrate Iron + C chews. Will start them next week. Past the 8 week mark, I'm planning to go back to my usual vitamin and supplement regime, with tweeks as recommended. I've taken a lot of vitamins everyday religiously for the past 2 years.
Food: my goal today is to get 3 complete protein shakes into me (1 cup each), 1/2 cup at a time (unsweetened almond milk, Naked Goat powder, Torani SF syrup). That will give me 72g protein, 33g carbs, 555 calories.
I'm also going to try to get 1-2 cup of water and SF freezies into me. For a total of 4-5 cups fluids all together. My booklet says aim for 4-6 cups fluids daily, it seems like so much! But I'm sure I can work my way up to it.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Oh, just calculated- 4 SF freezies equal 1 cup of fluid. That's gonna help me get my fluids in for sure!

Keep sipping small sips while you Netflix binge. Those small sips every few minutes add up over the day. I tried to take a few big swallows when I was 1 week post-op and it came right back up. Learned my lesson there.
