What is on your Sunday Menu RNYers?

Good Morning Everyone!

QOTD:  Cheese is definitely my favorite protein.  Also protein bars.

Yesterday I ate:  a protein shake, muscletech mission 1 protein bar, 2 slices swiss cheese, bacon, string cheese sticks and an Atkin's snack bar.  Today will probably be somewhat similar.

Exercise:  Hoping to take the doggies for a walk today.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all! My butt is dragging! We are still at the rodeo and I am ready to be home.

B- 1/2 scrambled egg and one piece of bacon

L- Grilled chicken tenders 

D- Not sure hopefully we will be headed home 

S-Peanuts and bacon bits packed in my bag 

I hope everyone has a fantabulous day!

Hey everyone! I went to a work BBQ yesterday and despite my efforts, snuck in some carbs. I did, however, ride my excercise bike 5 miles, which I know isn't **** but I am so out of shape and sedentary, I figured something is better than nothing, right? I haven't excercised in forever and I've promised myself to ride every day and ride a little bit further.

QOTD: Favorite protein? Probably chicken and cheese. I'm making skinny chicken mozzarella tonight (yeah Blue Apron) which combines both.

B: eggs or 1/2 a protein shake

L: unsure, I'm trying to stay away from carbs, though

D: skinny chicken mozzarella and some broccoli

S: nuts and chees

E: more biking!

Have a great pre-Monday everyone. UGH!

QOTD - Favorite protein is beef filet, but ribeye is a close second.

3 weeks post-op. I'm still trying to get my pouch to want pureed foods, seems it's only interested in water at this point. This pouch reminds me of a ultra picky 2yr old. No matter what I "want", my pouch says no.

I'll try to consume 3 protein shakes and a few tbsps of some pureed chicken or avocado.

It's not scorching hot today, so I plan to increase my walking to half a mile, I'm still instructed to limit my walks to 10 minutes at a time, and I think I can do half a mile in 10 minutes. I've been walking 3 short 5 minute walks a day so far. LOL, I might need a nap later.

Pouches are very finicky at 3 weeks. I never pureed my food, just chopped finely, added some type of broth,sauce,gravy or condiment and chewed well.... Beef has always agreed with my pouch, even from the beginning... fish being a close second. I am pretty good with chicken now, but still prefer Boneless thighs (more moist)... still for the most part can't do any cold cuts....and almost 2 years out.

I noticed differences at 3 months, 6 months and a year as to what I could consume. Like switches went off... The year mark is now I can drink normally so I don't have to worry about getting all my fluids in, much easier.

Good Morning! Happy Sunday. Will be heading to church in a bit and then a few errands to run (end of year teacher gifts and such) then some rest and relaxation before another crazy week. 

QOTD: At the moment I would say the little tuna packets! Easy and yummy on top of a salad.

Menu today will be a latte and shake for breakfast, salad with tuna on top for lunch, latte, port rinds, yogurt and jerky for a snack and dinner will be grilled chicken breast, baby carrots and SF pudding with toasted coconut. Exercise-got in my 6 miles. Water and vits are on track. Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning!!

Well it's going to be another 100 degree day today so I think my meals will be water....lol Just kidding, seriously though, I was actually on my way to becoming a whole food plant based diet kinda gal when I had surgery....I am 4 weeks out now so still can not have the wonderful plants I want and I am so tired of meat and cheese!!  I dream of a day that veggies are back in my life for now though, I think i will have....

M1: Greek yogurt

M2: Egg and chicken sausage

M3: 2 oz canned chicken breast with beans (probably black beans) and quinoa (and of course with salsa)

M4: Grilled Chicken

Snack, made those protein bars someone posted the other day made mine with almond milk calories came out to 98 per =D
