What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Yay! great pic guys :)

I get so frustrated when I go to pack my food for work and there are no babybels left.  My teenage daughter is the guilty one.   There are plenty of other snacks for her, and I'm glad that she chooses a healthier one, but when there is only one or two left, I would prefer she choose something else.  If she wants something else good for her, there is plenty of fruit as well.  There are lots of things in the house that I cannot eat, please leave me the snacks I can.

First off,I got good news from the insurance company last night. They overturned the denial of my Humira so it is on its way. Horray! Maybe in  few weeks I'll be able to move without pain. Another gloomy chilly day here in Illinois. Lily and I will do 3.2 miles at the park this afternoon as I have food pantry this morning. I will also do 30 minutes on the bike and 1.25 miles at a brisk pace on the treadmill at some point this afternoon. Post op 42 months and weight at 122.4 today.

Great news on the Humira.

So happy for you! Great news indeed.

Morning everyone!  AV you are seriously funny!  Some people love to read the newspaper every morning, my favourite read every morning is this thread started by you!  You would kill at stand up comedy!

1000% agree with you people stay away from MY FOOD!  As others have said, the non WLS people can eat from the hoards and hoards of food out there and we WLS gang have food we take the time to research and buy (and its usually more expensive) so really keep your hands off.  It never fails if I make tuna salad or egg salad all the sudden by hubby comes into the kitchen and says "Oh I would like some of that!" Meanwhile two seconds ago when I asked if you were hungry and I would make you something and I got "no, I'm good" and now suddenly you want MY food.  *******s, plain and simple.

I don't have any weird food combos, but I am told that I am "weird" because I prefer "food" for breakfast and I have no problem eating food cold.  So for breakfast I am not a bacon & egg or cereal/oatmeal kinda girl, I want steak, chicken, shrimp that kind of thing.  And if I go out to a restaurant and get leftovers and they sit in the fridge overnight the next day I can just take the food out of the fridge, put it on a plate and eat it, I don't need it warmed up, that's right, Class A Weirdo over here! 

The only thing in my humble opinion that peanut butter should ever touch is jam or chocolate (think Reeses Peanut butter cups!!!) LOL LOL

Time since surgery: 2 years + 3.5 months (menu is an exact replicate of yesterday by the way)

B: coffee, coffee (with one splenda each and lactose free milk) + protein hot chocolate

L: 4oz of tandoori chicken with hot sauce over 1/4 cup of salad greens

S: celery & 4 laughing cow cheese (garlic & herb)

D: 5oz of Angus grilled steak + 1 tbsp balsamic dressing over 1/2 cup of salad greens

S: celery & 4 laughing cow cheese (garlic & herb) + protein hot chocolate

TOTALS: Cals: 779  Protein: 106  Carbs: 32  Fat: 26

V/W: vits done, calcium on alarms, lots of water (coffee & tea)

E: walk on my lunch hour, will be hustling its cold & windy here and taking the night off again from the gym so only a hike with the dogs after work in the snow!

Below is a pic of my dinner last night, for some reason it was extra tasty!  Its an Angus grilled steak (medium rare) over mixed salad greens with a little bit of balsamic dressing.  

I so want to try these Power Crunch bars that you all talk about but I have a healthy fear that I will love them and well its a slippery slope people... better yet I will just read about them as you guys all enjoy them! LOL

Yahoo almost the weekend!

Your dinner looks amazing!  As for the Power Crunch bars, I tried them and hated them.  They were super dry.  Maybe I got a bad bar but I took the other 3 back I bought.  Not a Nikki fav.
