What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
Yesterday's labs at my 2 year appt were not what I wanted. Vitamins good, a few funky probably inflammation things from all the recent surgery...but the real kicker is I eat 100g+ protein a day and my protein is low. < insert scream>.... So Hala who is a wealth of information on here - long time vet who has overcome many food issues, sugges
ts I get off dairy and whey for protein and focus on getting 80g meat
protein balanced with some fat and carbs. This is not my first time with low protein. I am going to make sure I am at least getting enough meat protein grams. Oh and stop relying on bars...
QOTD: you will laugh last purchase Men's boxer briefs- which is what they suggested for after surgery. You think finding a bra is hard? Back and forth to men's department in Kohl's to try different brands on. I have to were compression on my legs for 6 weeks do a lot of maxi dresses will be happening. Bought a few things off clearance rack-
pink print stretchy funky pants . Striped maxi skirt in XS. Not that I am xs but it works. Brown print really pretty maxi ... Tryed to post pic, but on phone and OH is not cooperating.
B: latte with miralax, latte protein drink
L: egg salad low carb wrap
S: celery with peanut butter
D: bacon cheeseburger
S: shrimp ****tail

Sorry Cynthia your labs are not where you wan them to be. And very interesting on the protein numbers. Just goes to show you that shakes & bars are not good for us long term post op, we need meat! GO AMAW!!!
Makes total sense to wear a pair of men's boxers after surgery, but yes totally weird having to try on a pair and buy them, they are cut so different than ladies panties LOL
I bet you look killer in a maxi dress cuz you are so tall and slim. I am 5'5" but maxi dresses drag on the floor on me, bummer!
Maybe you can post a pic for us for Photo Friday
