What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

It snowed last night and now its this nasty sleety, freezing rain crap!  YUCK!  My daughter has no school today, I wish I got snow days!  sigh

We buy in bulk for things like toilet paper, paper towels etc, and since we have 6 people in the house, it works out well for us

Today is my Hubby's 50th birthday, he is FREAKING OUT!!!  For some reason 50 is really bothering him....I am only 33, but he clearly knew I was much younger when he married me....so suck it up buttercup.  The "alternative" to growing old isn't great...so whatever! lol

10 months 1 week since surgery

M1: 1c Fairlife skim milk, 1 scoop Syntrax milk chocolate

M2: Dannon L&F Greek yogurt, 15g slivered almonds, 1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

M3: 3oz canned tuna, 1 tbsp light mayo, spices, cucumber slices

M4: Celery sticks w/ 2 laughing cow light swiss wedges

M5: 2.5oz of 85% ground beef, romaine, reduced sugar ketchup, 1 tbsp light mayo (I normally get 93% lean ground, trying to see if the little bit higher fat will help it go down easier)

M6: 1oz curd cheese (if I need it, I counted it though)

Totals: Cals: 952  Protein: 98  Carbs: 37  Fat: 45

I've switched to 80/20. I know it's higher calorie bit my pouch can't handle really lean beef. 85/15 would be okay too, with the mayo and ketchup. Are you eating a lettuce wrap? I think you may have just found my dinner for tomorrow.  Sounds so good.  With pickles too.

Also, I've gone to 85/15 ground turkey.  The lean stuff is too rough for me.  

If this helps meat go down easier for me, I will deal with the extra calories!!  Yes, I will be having my burger wrapped in lettuce ;)  I will probably add some pickles as well! 

I can do leaner ground meats if they are in a sauce, but straight up...nope!

A couple of times shortly after surgery I tried 93/7 ground beef. I've eaten better sawdust. I always use 80/20 now.

Once got the Laura's ground beef, at 96/4 I couldn't keep it down. I put it into chili, and it was completely inedible.  

He's 50 and forgot Valentine's Day? Unless he was locked away in a monastery until just recently, he's a very slow learner. Or much braver than I ever was.

HAHAHAHA  Yeah he came home with flowers and a Valentine's day card last night.  Which was nice and all, but really, couldnt he have done the same quick stop at the grocery store BEFORE Valentine's day??!?!    Good thing I love the old guy! HAHA

Tell your hubby happy birthday, and to relax and enjoy his 50s. I love being in the 50s. I call them my FU 50s, because I no longer care what people think about me. It is freeing.  This has also been the decade of "rebirth" for me, from beating cancer to my miracle RNY. I love my 50s.

I think the problem is, both is parents died in their 50's and that just really really gets to him.  But I always try and remind him that both his parent's were HEAVY smokers and they drank....a lot.  Neither if which he does, and he eats healthy, and stays fit.

I am older than my mom was when she died. It was hard coming up to that age and then passing it.
