What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
My surgeon, NUT and PCP want me at 1200 cal. because of the blood cholesterol issue I deal with. They also want me to eat back my exercise calories, which means on long exercise days I'm really supposed to eat between 1800-2000 cal. a day. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when they told me, so I may have done both. My blood count does improve when I get closer to that number, but nothing else (i.e. weight) does. At my appt last week he handed me a lab slip because he said "I don't trust that you're meeting your 1200 goal." Ummm, that would be correct.
I mean I guess I get the concerns. They want us to be healthy. But we also had this surgery to LOSE WEIGHT! hahah do they not remember that?
Telling a former super morbidly obese to EAT MORE, and be surprised when you get resistance...uumm yeah. Its like telling an alcoholic to GO AHEAD AND DRINK, just keep it in moderation. Or maybe I really do have "issues" with eating more. hahaha
I've actually been Googling this and believe it or not there is some fierce debate on the issue. LOL
I'm sorry about Mark AV. Give his wife, family and friends an extra hug. I hope you're doing OK.
I'm a little offended that you asked for fashion advice from just the ladies. You don't trust my fashion sense?
I honestly can't remember a single Halloween costume. I haven't worn one since I was a kid. They were probably all generic costumes from the department store. Boring, I know.
Dinner with JB last night was wonderful, including a nice ribeye. Breakfast today was Mr. Cheese-Os. I have no idea what I will eat the rest of the day, but it isn't a very big list to choose from.

Well, Grim, do I go with nude hose or black? The internet consensus seems to be nude as black is reserved for evening. Who knew?
All I can tell you is, mine is green:
