What's on your Saturday menu, RNY'ers?

Sorry to jump in here, but I'm about to head out the door for the day.  This has become such a habit I can't imagine leaving without checking in here first!!

we're headed off to Milwaukee for some architecture thing my husband has been talking about forever.  I have no idea what we'll be eating, so I'm taking a couple of protein bars *just in case*!

QOTD:  if you have pets, what are their names?  We have six cats:  Ruthie, Pamuk, Aytekin, Minik, Anubis, and Kardelen

15 months out:

B:  Greek yogurt, aronia berries, blueberries

S:  protein shake

the rest:  no clue yet!!

Morning breakfast crew!

now I understand your username catwoman! I love cats, but my husband has the annoying habit of not being able to breath around them...

i have one basset, Charlie. He's nearly 11.

im on day two of purees, and to be honest, I'm struggling with a bit of anxiety over my food choices being my responsibility again. As restrictive as preop and liquids are, they were also quite liberating. But this is the next step, so on we go!

today will be mostly protein shakes and a couple of spoons of lentil soup. I'm being extra conscious these first days to make sure I can differentiate whether it's the food item or the quantity that I would react to.

have a great weekend everyone!

It takes time to really figure out what is allowed, what agrees with your pouch and how it all works together. Remember if you have any questions just ask. You will get tons of good advice. 

Wow, 6! 

We have three geriatric cats. 14 years ago we found a pregnant stray momma cat. She had her litter of four in my living room. We found homes for two and kept two. They are getting old but all still with us. Momma is named Maggie, and the other two are Britches and Dinah. And we have a dog, a Catahoula mix, named Jesse.

Breakfast...I still haven't had it-. Caramel Latte shake I guess. I'm not in love with that flavor. I'm mostly trying to get rid of it.

Lunch- hash and an egg

snack- hummus and a cheese stick

Dinner- I'm taking my son to chickfila. Debating on trying their chicken salad. Is it pretty soft? Otherwise I might just get a sugar free lemonade and eat at home.

Chicken salad is really high in calories. I think it's worse on their menu than a Chick-fil-A sandwich. If you're able to do chicken I would try the grilled nuggets. They are really tasty! 

Thanks for starting us off today, Catwoman!

QOTD:  We have a Chihuahua named Tippy and a Golden Retriever mix named Blossom.  They are both rescues.  We also have two rescued pigeons, one named Pigeon and one named Molly.  Here's a picture of me with the two dogs and one of my daughter with Pigeon:

I stayed with my menu yesterday and also took the dogs for a walk.  Today's menu is:

Breakfast:  1 egg, sunny side up, 3 strips of bacon

Lunch:  Quinoa

Dinner:  Lettuce salad w/ tomatoes, bacon, cheese & low cal dressing

Snack:  Oiko's Triple Zero greek yogurt

Snack:  2 string cheese sticks

Snack:  Moon cheese

Snack:  sugar-free pudding w/ cool whip

Exercise:  Walking the dogs

Have a fantastic day everyone!

Morning! Now I understand your username cat woman :-) I've been to the gym and just left the post office. I had my dietitian appointment too. I was expecting her to weigh me, take measurements etc, but nope. We just chatted. She was so happy for my success, told me I don't look anything near what I weigh. (I won't let that mess with my head). She likes my goal weight and said I can re-evaluate when I reach it if I want. She wants me to increase to 1200 calories (I do 1000). I smiled and nodded. She also wants me to aim at getting in some protein post workout. She described me as "active"... who-- me???? I went over a typical days meal, and she was pleased, and said she wouldn't change a thing other than adding some calories. Overall I think she felt she couldn't offer me anything different, but it was nice to chat to see overall I'm in a good path. She does work with BariatricPal patients post op, but apparently mostly deals with the complications, so she was happy to hear a good story.

 Heading to Kohl's in a bit to get some leggings and long sleeve tops (prepping for fall).
