Around 800 calories... I need to up my protein, so I might have to throw in an extra shake at some point, putting me at 890ish. With an added shake, I'd hit 80 or so grams of protein.
I need some variety... I think I'm going to head to the store today and get some shrimp and salad... or something. It is really HOT here, so I guess it just depends on what I can get accomplished with the kiddos.
92 lbs GONE forever!
as of 10/18/2009 ( 4 lbs lost before RNY included )100 lbs left to go...

Yes, I am again going to be the poo starter on this thread.
You have to tell me...are you really, really regular? No? How's it working out for ya?
I find that I go through these patches of constipation. Then I throw oodles of fat down the hatch and that straightens it out for a bit.
RNY Gastric Bypass 1-8-08 350/327/200 (HW/SW/CW). I spend most of my time playing with my food over at Bariatric Foodie - check me out!
Here's what's working:
1) Prescription Amitiza-- 2x a day. Because my poo issue isn't just RNY related-- I have a motility issue. What I mean is (graphic here) I don't get constipated 'at the opening" anymore-- it never even gets down that far-- my intestines are weak after that damn bowel repair and need a jumpstart.
2) Caffeine! I cut it out completely over two years ago-- my gastro told me to put it back! One cup of real tea (black tea-- caffeinated) in the AM with my Amitiza, and most days stuff's moving by 10am. Coffee'd be even better but I don't drink coffee. In any case, it's science-- caffeine has an excitant effect on the bowel as well, and that irritation gets stuff goin'.
3) FIBAH!
4) If for some reason I go 48 without a poo, I use suppositories. Backed up poo gives me (you will laugh) WICKED headaches and I feel really ill. My body's just too small now to hold that much mess in me.
Fat'll blow you out too... but for me that means more calories and as you know, I am a cal miser. The fiber seems the healthiest and most effective route to a good cleanout, but you gotta keep the fluids up or you end up making things much worse.
