What's on your Menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?

Good Morning Menu family.  How are you all? All is good here, supposed to be 65 and sunny here and I like that!  Think I will go for a walk at lunch today.  Anyone got a lot of tree's on their property and you have to rake leaves?  We have one tree, it's not very big as we live in a fairly new subdivision so  I might have a dozen or so yellow leaves on the front lawn that are getting blown away with the wind so I am lucky, no raking of leaves here and that's good because I hate raking leaves!  Oh and our Jay's WON last night!! YAHOO!  Indians are a damn good team but I have to support my team so GO JAYS GO!

QOTD: Does your significant other (spouse, partner, boyfriend/girlfriend) support you in your weight loss and all things that go hand in hand with having WLS and living the post WLS life?  I feel blessed, I have an AMAZING husband, he has been 100% supportive from day one when I said I wanted to have WLS. He has held my hand the whole way and is my biggest cheerleader/supporter.  The only thing that is that he doesn't really "get it," not like the way you all "get it."  Sure he knows my rules, protein forward, low carb, wait 30 minutes after drinking, take vitamins daily but there are some things that no matter how supportive he is he still did not have the surgery and so it's hard for him to get what I mean sometimes.  And don't even get me started on my extended family (Mom & Dad, Sister etc) they certainly DO NOT GET IT, they keep asking me "when are you going to start eating normal again" I pretty much say to them "same answer as I gave you last time you asked (which is "this is my new normal") and if you keep asking the same question expecting a different answer then you are going to be sadly disappointed."

OMG Look how early I am here today!!   Daisydoo, your extended family sounds like mine!  LOL  No concept!  My husband has been so good! He is with me all the way, there are some things he doesn't understand, but you wouldn't unless you have surgery. If he wants snacks he brings then into "his" room and I never see them.  He is very supportive, he goes to my group meetings and is just there for me.

Morning everyone!

qotd: my husband is great. He doesn't totally get it, but he is beyond supportive. My whole family is actually. I can see one of my sister in laws getting awkward when we eat together and she sees how small my portions are. She keeps talking about how she's eating too much. (She's a normal healthy weight) . I'm like dude, my stomach is the size of an egg. This is how I have to eat.

And the Jays live another day!

Hi Friends! Sitting on the train after an eventful morning... John drove me to the train and someone rear ended him hard at a stop sign. So needless to say I'm off to a late start. But we're all ok (including his truck) and I have a good excuse to be late to the all staff meeting, so I consider it a win.

Your question is obviously funny for us, considering we met on this forum! I'm grateful every day that I'm with someone who gets the struggle and supports me. How lucky am I?

B: coffee; Apple and cheese cubes

L: Spinach Salad; Wasa crackers, laughing cow wedge and deli chicken

S: Chobani flips salted caramel

D: no clue.

Yes you and John definitely are both lucky. There are so many of the mental things that a person who hasn't had surgery just can't quite get,no matter how hard they try. I'm thankful you two and the truck are all okay. People are so distracted any more when they drive. What is up with that?

oh no!   I am so sorry to hear about the accident!!!

I got rear-ended on the way to work this past Sunday, though it was just a bump that caused no damage to either car.  It's still very flustering when it happens, and I felt like I was off kilter all day afterwards.  I'm so glad that you and John and okay and that his truck is okay as well.  

Also, I have to comment on the fact that you two met here on the internet.  I kinda get it, since I met my hubby in an online community.  It was in a MMORPG, way back in 2005, and while it wasn't a support setting, it kinda had the same social dynamic as a message board does.  

I met my husband online in 1995 in a game room call Mplayer, he moved out here in 1998 and we got married 2001, we were always meant to be together but it took us awhile to find each other!

I met my ex husband in a chat room on AOL called 'Le Chateau' many many moons ago... while he's my ex now, we did make 2 pretty awesome children together!

Glad you are ok!
