What are you eating/doing today? Wednesday!

 i think most of us that post are much further out (there are some earlier post ops too though). where is your protein around? it seems like it would be a little low. maybe a protein shake or bar would help bring it up a bit? everyone is different though, as are the plans the surgeons have us follow. i would say as long as you're sticking to your plan and getting all your protein in you should be fine at this point, around 6 months is when i had to start playing around with calories to find the right amount i needed to lose. now i'm trying to figure out where that number is at 18 months with all the exercise i've been doing.

For the past 3 days it's been quest protein bars for breakfast, lunch and supper.
My husband is in the hospital and I refuse to leave his side.

 I hope your husband gets well soon Donna.  Please make sure you take care of yourself too.  Try to get some rest.

My prayers are with you and your husband.

Good Day To You All. Yesturday Was A New Start For Me. Finally Came Back To My Senses. And I'm Starting A Fresh. Teeheehee. After Making Bad Eating Choices And Gaining 15 lbs. After Nearly Two Years Post Op. I Joined The Gym Yesturday And Went In For My First Workout This Morning. It Was AWESOME. I Feel Alive Once Again. I Even Went Out And Bought A Journal. So I Can Write Down Everything I Eat. And Am Starting To Plan My Meals Again. So Today. I Started Off With:

B: 1/2 Banana
     Protein Shake-  Berry
L:  Ham/Turkey Rollups/Lettuce/Tomatoes.
S: Cottage Cheese
D: Lean Grilled Asada :)
And Lots And Lots Of Water.

Have A Good Day Everyone.

Ugh, day three of being home with the sick child. And as an added bonus, I will be getting written up when I get back due to my absence. DH is on call this week, so he cannot take over childcare duties. Let the good times roll!

B    pure protein bar
S    1 cp of popcorn
L     Greek yogurt with sf syrup
S     cheese stick
D   ?

Plus enough non caffeinated liquid to float a battleship

 Bottle of water.

Nectar protein 1.5 scoops.

Pure protein bar.

SF peeps.

Cheetos.

Yup.

Not much of anything today it seems.  Had my 2 year follow up today with labs so I didn't eat anything until after and then it was the protein bar, then the peeps, and after shopping at Goodwill some Cheetos.

I don't know what to do for dinner.  Really not interested.

Doc said I'm not  eating enough to support my workout habits.  I agree, but without the drive for food fueling me I just don't tend to eat.  Work days I do well - I pack food and have a schedule.  It's when I'm home or out that's the issue.  No huger drive = no trigger that it's time to eat.  I'm gonna work on this.  I go from days with no eating to days that I feel like a bottomless pit.  I GUESS they even out.  But just for grins I'm gonna add in more protein supplementation.  I eat a bar almost every day.  I'll add in a drink to.  Or maybe add a drink and trade out the bar for another drink.  That's 70 grams more right there.  He wants me closer to 2200 calories.  I imagine that darn near improbable for me.

 i can't imagine 2200 without eating junk! i am still yet to get my hunger back, which is mostly good. i'm trying to bring shakes back into my life, it's hard though, bars are so much easier, especially on the go. happy 2 year surgiversary tomorrow!

 My husband is in Phoenix on business and I really miss him.  No reason to cook for one so I have been picking up something on the way home from work and not eating much of it.  I have so many leftovers in the fridge right now.

Breakfast:
Quest coconut cashew bar

Snack:
sugar free caramel latte

Lunch:
grilled chicken breast
green beans sauteed with onions
a couple of bites of mashed potato

Snack:
some Click protein shake mixed with milk

Dinner:
edemame
sashimi

Have a good evening.

 for the second time in a week my calories are ending up at 800. not 801, not 799. 800. so weird. i don't think i'll have anything more, since i just started sipping my shake (a little high in sugar tonight but i wanted a treat and this will definitely cover it).

B - 1/2 thomas's bagel thin with land o' lakes light butter
L - string cheese (should have had more, but alas i did not)
D - yummy cheddar chicken soup i make
S - (now) white hot choclate protein shake. ya know the kind with an envelope of the regular white hot chocolate mix, but like i said i'm craving sweets and this is better then breaking into a box of oreos! plus my carbs are still pretty low today
cal - 800, carb - 52, fat - 38, protein - 64

exercise: 10 minute warm up on bike, day 2 week 4 couch to 5k (running more than walking now, other than the warm up/cool down which i skipped since i was doing other cardio too!), 12 mins on elliptical.
