What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

NYMOM's QOTD: I've only been to one support group meeting at my hospital. I wasn't a fan of it-- but since the doc cleared me to not return for a year at my visit last week- I decided I need to 'stay connected' with them via support group. The group is for anyone, pre-op, post op or even those looking for weight loss tips, but not considering surgery. It meets once per month Next months meeting topic is "Planning to eat for the holidays" I'm looking froward to that. I'll be speaking in the meeting about my experiences so far too. 

I had an 'aha moment'. I'm still working on losing and I've been struggling with deciphering a normal day-to-day weight fluctuation vs. a trend I need to turn around. I've decided that seeing a .5 gain for 3 consecutive days will be my line in the sand. That's the trend I've seen that past 3 days, and since I've been home most of the past three days I'm not surprised. I am much more on point when I'm working.

Have a FANTASTIC day everyone!

WHOA....your AV's QOTD answer sounded like another language!!  I am SO CONFUSED...yet intrigued!

LOL!  I used to be really interested in Astrology, particularly in how it affected a person's personality.  It doesn't make sense that everyone would fit into just 12 types, but if you factor in the signs of their other planets and their moon sign, it gives a much more complete view of their personality.  I know, I'm a little weird.  

OMG we have planet and moon signs as well....I am so out of the loop here! 

Morning everyone!

I too was stalking... then I saw a squirrel, and off I went. I'm back though!

QOTD #1: I'm an Aries. My mom used to really be into astrology when I was young. I remember hearing all kinds of things about the astrological signs. I think it's fun to read, but I'm not an avid reader anymore. I'm an only child too. I don't know if my personality stems from being an only child, or being an Aries! 

QOTD #2: I don't go to real life support groups. My Hospital is over an hour away, and while I know there are closer support groups, I never joined one. I found here, and looks like all my eggs are in this basket. I love all the variety here... pre/post op is only the beginning. There are people here from all over the country/world! Best place to find my support I think.

I got my Syntrax Nectar sample pack in the mail yesterday! I'll try changing up things a bit and see if I can up my protein while keeping my calories in sync.

B: 3 pieces of bacon and 1/2 scrambled egg

S: Syntrax Nectar protein drink, but I haven't committed to a flavor yet!

L: 1 bratwurst/ mustard

D: Not sure yet. Will take the 14yo son to buy a new pair of shoes since he lost ONE of his new ones we bought him in August... sigh. I swear teenage boys lose their minds - literally! That means we'll be out and about, which means he'll talk me into getting him dinner somewhere... I'll pick wisely, protein first!

Weight this morning... 180.8

SQUIRREL!!! ... LOL! 

I want a Syntrax sample pack!  where did you get it?  Oh and I want a bratwurst too.  And chili dog casserole.  I might need to stop reading this thread, she thinks as she sips off her sippy cup with straw...

I ordered it on Amazon... 15 different flavor packets. I had the cappuccino this morning... wondering if it would have been better mixed into coffee or Fairlife milk... water it was kind of watery?

Or-dered it...
