What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
Good morning! Here's hoping the week improves for everyone.
QOTD: my username Life_Mirrors_Art is a flip of the position that art is a reflection of life. In the context of OH and RNY, I wanted life (my starting weight and compromised health) to resemble long-ago photos of myself at a time when I had achieved a 'normal' weight (art.****rtainly don't expect to look like I did at that time, and I'm struggling to reach my goal of 140 lbs., but I find a concrete visual provides good motivation.
Food today:
B: quick steel cut oats
L: chicken leg
D: salmon and avocado
S1: HB egg; S2: protein bar, as I will be on the road for several hours
Good morning all! This week needs to end NOW! I am so over it. It's shark week and work is so flippin crazy. Add that my incisions are super itchy this morning and I'm pretty sure I have a full house.

Hi AV, gang.
Sorry about the hubby AV. I think I'm uniquely qualified here to offer advice on the male mind. Based on what you'very written these past few days, I can definitely say you two need to sit down and have a serious talk. He'll understand your very real concerns if you bring a pair of pliers to the conversation, and hold them near his testicles. Yes, men can be rather clueless, and I think he needs a reminder. Even I think he's being a giant dumbass. And there have been times I was prince of all dumbasses.
I'm trying to make today quieter. I still have a lot of running around to do, but I'm seeing my girlfriend tonight, and plan on taking her to dinner. If you see her, don't say anything.
