What are we eating -Saturday?

Okay, family...here I am..being accountable. I need this.

In keeping with my recent work with a special medical clinic specializing in WLS patients struggling with regain, I am embarking on a new beginning. Right now, I am supposed to focus first on a proper breakfast.  This has not been a problem for me however I will follow the rules and continue to take my protien drink each morning along with my pills/vitamins.  After my bloodwork and other tests, I will be given a custom meal-plan to follow.  This is what Ive planned for today:

B      Matrix hot chocolate protein drink made with skim (low fat) milk powder

S       tangerine & a piece of cheese

L       LF cottage cheese & unsweetened pineapple

S      1 poached egg on dry toast

D      homemade high protein soup

S       LF yogurt

Nancy B & Rufus

 

good morning nancy

good to see you posting and being accountable is always a good thing for you
and rufus.

i have been eating on kind of a strange schedule with all the running to visit
my mom, but i guess the stress is working on me because i have actually
lost about 2 pounds, which i am happy about.

i do have to work on my protein intake, i know it has been low of late.

today i have no clue, prob oatmeal for breakfast.

lunch my sister and i want to bring mom chinese food so she can get a break
from the healthcare unit meals.  i will prob have some soup and shrimp.  i dont
eat the rice, or dumplings or anything fried.

dinner, who knows, maybe some eggs or a protein drink and some fruit.

hugs to all, jacki

Morning Nancy!

Marti, Moosie and I talked about restarting this on Marti's thread last night. Glad you go it going! Maybe between the two of us we can make sure it gets done everyday? Some days have a hard time posting until later in the evening, but I REALLY want to make an effort to start doing it again.

Here's the plan for today.

Latte

Bkfst burrito (sm ww tortilla w/ turkey bkfst sausage and eggbeaters)

Latte

chicken thigh with peppers and onions

cottage cheese w/ SF applesauce (homemade....mmmmm)

Add dinner:
roasted chicken breast, roasted brussel sprouts, wild/brown rice

Yesterday was good. I got up to my recommended 1400 cals which is where I think my trouble is coming from. Took a really long walk between clients along the AR river. VERY NICE!  That's a walk 4 out of 5 days this week.

Still no movement on the scale, but at least I feel better about myself.

So glad to see this thread started I really need it.

I'm not sure about today yet....but this was my food yesterday

Start - Protein Powder
B- Oatmeal (my mix with some raisins, cranberries, walnuts, flaxseeds, flaxseed oil and honey)
S- 1/2 apple
L- 2oz chicken, 1/2 c lentils, 1/2 green pepper grilled, cut up cuc and toms, 1/4c plain yogurt
s- Fiber One cereal (1/2c) w/milk, 1/2 apple, cup of coffee
s- Protein Powder, nuts
D- Cauliflower and Egg (might sound nasty but it's actually tasty.....)

I have not counted up the calories or the protein grams but I think it wasn't a bad day.

I'll post todays menu once I have it figured out.
Thanks again for starting the thread!

Thanks Nance....you and Susan can make this work together.....thank you thank you thank you.

Just a suggestion...how about if we put in our supplements also....I amalways forgetting them and it would be good to be accounatable about them also.
Love, M

Good idea Marti, I know that will also help me. I do have a problem about the vit. I take so many other pills right now,

Carol ....we will work on it together....M

Marti,

I have my pill box in the bathroom next to my toothbrush/paste. I take them right after brushing my teeth and have  not missed a dose since I began doing this over a year ago. Every Monday I reload the box and I'm good to go!

That's great except mine would never fit in a pill box...they are in a wicker basket [with a cover]and I just don't want to leave them out because my curious grandchildren are around, plus they are not too decorative.[I am kinda of a clean counter person, even my kitchen the only thing I have on the counter is a knife block, a pottery napkin holder and a lamp]...also did I mention I HATE PILLS....that may be most of my problem.....I gag some of them up.

For this program alone, I have to take 7 pills, three times a day. I have to take a lot of calcium and a lot of iron, plus B-complex...etc....meaning several times a day.....although Eileen B. taught me to take my iron in the middle of the night so it doesn't fight with the calicum and D.

I need to work a good method for taking my pills. I am also not very good with routine, I always seem to something different. Oy Vay !!!

Love, Marti
