What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

My stomach has been kinda finicky the last few days. Hoping it goes away and I can start eating normal again. Lately when I eat normal food i get nausea and some pain in my pouch. If it doesnt pass soon gonna have to contact my doc i guess.

May have to end up going all soft foods and liquids again today.

Monday, we meet, again. I'm not having a great start to the week. After a week long stall, the scale finally moved IN THE WRONG DIRECTION! I'm up 2 pounds. FU, scale! And my 1 hour commute took 2 hours and 15 minutes for no discernible reason. And (this is stupid) but I worked out this morning but forgot to put on my Fitbit, so I don't get credit for the steps I took. Can I go to bed, yet?

Time since surgery: 6 months.

b: chai protein latte & Greek yogurt

s: Mr Chese Os

l: cranberry chicken salad

s: Sargento Balanced Break

d: chicken & veg soup

Hi Juniper - don't freak. Going up and down is a regular event for me and for me its more emotional with a side of not paying attention to something usually exercise.  I was housebound due to the snow and made a wonderful new muffin with protein powder and pb2 and ate too many.  Even though my calories were fine the new food and not exercising made that happen.  I have always stalled around dropping into a new range  THE WHOLE WAY down since weighing 260 and now down to 167. I was at 170 to 172 back and forth for three months.  I started to really talk to myself and say it was okay to go down to the 160's.  I hadn't been there in 42 years since I was married. I am so old. Anyhow, overeaters online helped me get back and I just love it.  Hope that helps. 

Thanks. I'm not freaked, I'm annoyed... I don't even think it's anything bu****er-weight, to be honest. But when you are a pound and a half from goal it's so frustrating to see it bounce back in the wrong direction!!!!!

Hope your day gets better!

Ugh, I hate it when I forget my Fitbit!!

My weekend was pretty good!  I brought my daughter to my piercer to get her ear lobes pierced!  I maaaaay have come home with a new piercing, HAHAHHA, my septum now has a shiny new retainer that I can flip up if I need to! 

I CANNOT drink the ready made Premier Protein drinks anymore....just the thought makes me gag!!  I have a LONG list of things I cannot tolerate anymore, but that was from BEFORE surgery, not after.

I am back UP about 4 1/2 lbs.  EVERY MONTH this happens.  I get to my lowest weight the day before I start my period, then over the course of my cycle I gain like 5 lbs.  And the kicker, it does NOT go away after I am done.  It lingers for a few weeks, then I lose it right before my next cycle.  WHAT THE EVERY LOVING HELL!!!??!?!??!!   It is really starting to **** me off and stress me out.  I don't even know what to do about it.  SO MUCH FRUSTRATION

9 3/4 months since surgery (and feeling like I am never going to make my goal weight)

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

L: 2c Romaine, 1.9oz Jennie-O turkey breast, 2 slices velveeta original slices, 30ml Skinnygirl poppy seed dressing

D: Homemade low carb beef stew

S: Dannon L&F Greek yogurt, 1oz cashews, dill pickles w/ Baybel light cheese

Totals: Cals: 778  Protein: 87  Carbs: 44  Fat: 32

LOVE that poppyseed dressing!  

I can imagine how frustrating it is to be up and down like that.  I'm struggling to lose now and I still have 48lbs to goal.  I'll be frustrated along side you.  hang tough.

This is the first time I am trying the dressing, hopefully I like it! 

I HATE *****ing and moaning so much about my weight here, but you are all the only ones who get it.  Having to re-lose the SAME weight every month just really SUCKS! 

Its not like I go crazy with eating or anything during the cycle either.  So I just don't get it.

It's gotta be something else.  You're not eating a ton of calories.
