What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Hope everything else is going well! Check in when you can!

Morning All,

welcome back AV!

No matter how many times I read about a post op stall, the fact I've been bouncing around the same weight for over a week is starting to get in my head! My calories have not gone over 500, nearly all protein, other than some lentils. I did under chew some chicken salad last night, so today I'm going back to liquids to help things settle. I'll just keep plugging away, and am open to any feedback!

Menu: protein shakes and soup.

Stalls, or even slowing on the scale is hard... just keep on keeping on, and it will move. 

maybe up the liquids?

If you can add anymore liquids I would try that.  Don't get discouraged.  It will move we have all wanted to throw the scales out the window!

I know you don't want to hear this... even early out a week is barely a stall. One week after surgery... when I was barely eating, I stalled for 3 1/2 weeks.... sometimes your body just needs it for some reason.... hang in there...

Good to see you back AV - we were concerned.

QOTD: not much new here. I did get my 2 year lab results back on Friday and they were excellent across the board. Good to know that all those supplements are doing what they should. Only recommended change is to reduce daily b12 intake, as my levels are more than twice the max.

B: noatmeal a la Ereiam with chia seeds and ground flax, almond milk and protein powder.

Amy, could you please tell me how much of each ingredient you used? Mine turned out as a thick liquid, and I was expecting a hot cereal consistency.

L: two slices weigh****chers whole wheat bread with 2oz. reduced fat cheddar and miracle whip

D: baked chicken leg

S: string cheese

Cal-882, protein-96, carbs-35

I'm trying to mix up the food a bit this week as I'm getting menu fatigue. Still watching those carbs and calories!

I'm glad your back AV. Good for you taking care of yourself. Hope all is well now.

Qotd: (obviously) I've started to post again. I've been crazy busy going back to work, but I need this menu post to keep me eating well.

B noatmeal made with premier protein bananas and cream, coffee with cream

L shrimp with salad

D pork ribs with SF BBQ sauce, Cole slaw

S beef jerky,light and fit yogurt, string cheese, some veggies

Calories 746 Carbs 42 Protein 95

My mantra today: Is eating this going to make me feel better about myself?

Amy, could you please tell me how much of each ingredient you use in the almond milk noatmeal? Thanks!

I actually did 1/2 cup liquid, or 1/2 milk/ 1/2 yogurt with the chia and let sit overnight.

i also mix in ground flax, chia, or hemp hearts also
