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

just remember, it is not easy being a male...LOL

At our new house we seem to have some leaves but a TON of pine needles!

QOTD: My husband was dead set against me having surgery.  He is is very much of the no meds, no surgery etc type person.  He had a colonoscopy Monday and did it completely med free.  He is crazy with it sometimes though....like saying my friend who is bi-polar should just work out more instead of taking meds.....ummmm ok dude!  ugh  But once I got it through his head that I was DOING IT, no matter what, MY body, MY decision, he got a little better with it.  He has NEVER had a weight problem, and doesn't understand why people binge eat, or overeat....so sometimes its hard.  But he tries, and that is all I can ask

18 + months since surgery

3 protein shakes throughout the day

Dinner: Leftover meatloaf and green beans from last night (I am making hubby & kids pasta)

Snack: 3 slices Ultra thin provolone w/ 7 slices pepperoni (all made crispy in the microwave YUM)

Totals: Cals: 814  Protein: 121  Carbs: 26  Fat: 39

I have my 18 months post op appointment tomorrow morning!  I love morning appointments because I can wait to eat until AFTER I get weighed!!!  Old fat girl habits die hard!! LOL

 A colonoscopy with no anesthesia??! I bow down to him, I could never do that. 

Meds like that make him SO SICK, so I get why he didn't want any.  The nurses were all like...oh a tough guy huh?  LOL

I'll take whatever meds he doesn't want.

He complained so much while doing the prep that I almost drugged him up so I wouldn't have to hear it anymore!! 

Holy crap, OUCH!!

I was thinking the same thing - UGH!

My 18 month appointment is Friday and thank goodness all 3 appointments should be over with by 10:30 a.m.  I will have a shake before my first appointment though, I can't handle the darn Boston traffic with absolutely nothing in my stomach, and I will bring a protein bar to have on my drive home. 

Good morning.

We probably have 100 trees in our yard.  Fortunately my husband has a good rider mower that sucks them up.  He has done this about 4 times so far, but there will be many, many more times before he is done for the season.

QOTD

My husband was terrified when I told him I was considering the surgery.  He knew because of my medical history that it would be open surgery with a long healing process. He eventually warmed up to it because he knew it was important  to me. This was my 4th open surgery and my poor husband has had to see and do things for me that no husband should ever have to go through.  Thank God he is not squeemish. He never complains about any of it.  I am a very lucky girl!
