What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Never got to read Friday's until just now.   Love Everyone's photos!  

I SO WISH I had a stash of clothes somewhere....anywhere that I could raid!!  But I have NEVER been this size in my whole adult life! lol

Our weekend went well, "baby" boy's birthday party was fun...he had a blast.  We went to the fair, and the little ones LOVED getting to see all the animals etc!

5 Months since surgery

B: 3/4c Fairlife skim milk, 1 scoop Syntrax milk chocolate

S: 2 baybel light cheese

L: 1.5oz boneless skinless chicken thighs, 2 tbsp salsa, 1 slice cheese, 1/4c sauteed onions

S: Dannon L&F Greek yogurt

D: 1 scrambled egg, 1 slice bacon, 1 slice cheese

Totals: Cals: 739  Protein: 86  Carbs: 23  Fat: 35

I got my electronic results from my first blood work and apparently my protein levels are down.....I eat 5-6 times a day, and I eat protein first, I eat until "full" (more like satisfied).....how the heck do I add more protein?  I worry (probably needlessly??) about adding another protein "shake"...it would really bring my calories up....and I being crazy?  ugh

If you add another shake you'll be at 850 calories.  That seems completely reasonable to me.

I love the animals at the Fair too :)

My shakes are 180 calories, unless I use water instead of the milk.....hhmmm

Try the premier protein ready made shakes... they are a tad expensive (I think) but I rely on them... 30 grams protein, 160 calories. My hair is falling out less since I started using them. I don't go for my 6 mth chec****il 9/21 so I am anxious to see what my bloodwork reveals. My 3 mth levels were okay so we will see.

Yeah, I used to drink them....I would literally CHOKE them down.  I honestly hate the taste!!  The protein drinks I make myself (with fairlife milk and syntrax powder)  have 180 calories and 32 grams of protein, and the best part, they actually taste good to me ;)

Try the almond milk, it adds only 30 calories to the drink total and the creaminess to me is even better... unless im drinking it straight, then only the real milk will do... Good luck

I actually HATED Premier Protein shakes up to about 4 months after surgery. But, they are okay to me now. But, I am going to get some samples of Synthrax through Nashau to try them. I honestly got very burned out on protein shakes pre-surgery because that was how I lost down to have my surgery!    

And, I am hard pressed to get my tea made in the morning, let alone make a shake... hey, I have to put on make up, brush my teeth, fix my hair, etc... grabbing the ready made shakes work well for me. I don't know how I got to work, period, when my son was young.  

I guess, though, that I could get a shaker bottle and make it up and just shake, shake, shake in the car on the way to work!

But you get more protein with the milk instead of water.

Yes, I know!  I just get a little panicky thinking about adding calories....which is DUMB....but the honest truth!  *sigh*
