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

Love my new Instant Pot which I bought before surgery but I have no clue what to do with it.  I made chicken thighs once, lima bean soup once.  Makes a LOT of food.  Maybe we should have an Instant Pot menu day...

Hi Daisy,

I swear, do we share taste buds?  Your menu always looks sooooo delicious to me - I also love savory food, love tuna, love Indian chicken, love love love ground turkey tacos and make it weekly :)  We've always shared food ideas since we were a month post-op...you're like my menu sister :)

Honestly, my surgeon was a good cutter but didn't offer much info beyond that.  My NUT is totally worthless, and I refuse to go to the support group.  The support group is mandatory before surgery and it's a room of pre-ops that ask things like "Can I still have my aunt's german chocolate cake?" and everyone introduces themselves and gives long-winded speeches about them and their lives.  It's pointless.  I come to OH for advice, help, inspiration, and the occasional hand-slapping ;)

Time Since Surgery: 3 years in December

B: Crab dip on crackers (yep, I am all about the savory breakfast)

L: Sweet apple chicken sausages from Trader Joe's half of a sweet potato

D: TBD - my bf's dad is coming to town so we will take him out, potentially to a steakhouse and I will get chicken

E: We better fit in a gym trip this afternoon, since I know with his parents in town and the kids all weekend, there will be no working out

I can't wait to see crockpot recipes tomorrow!  I love love love turkey chili, bbq chicken and a few other things in the crockpot, so I am excited to expand my repertoire.  I have just gotten intrigued by an Instant Pot and that may be my request for a Christmas gift :)

Have a great day and stay warm!  Hugs!

Cold and windy here this morning  

I remember talking to my NUT and asking her how many carbs I should be at and she said, and I quote "oh we don't follow carbs!"  Oh please!  I even followed carbs before I joined this program!  lol

I'm doing a quick drive by. My co-worker is out today & tomorrow so extra busy!!

QOTD - My surgeon said I could eat 1200 calories. He also said I can still have pizza because I won't be able to eat very much of it any more. My NUT is non existent. But I have you guys so who needs them anyway LOL. 

B - haven't had time yet. Coffee

L - Tuna & pork rinds

S - cheese

D - No clue - Softball game tonight. 

Morning!

QOTD: Have dropped all the post-op directions from my dietitian. I tried because she has had special Bariatric training, but the advice here proves successful, while her advice had me in a 2 week stall! Told the Dr's nurse practitioner about my protein amts. only. She was happy with that. Next appt. will be to review lab. work.

Have a great one every one, I have a migraine building so I may not be back today.    :(

Migraines stink!! I haven't had one in a long time (since long before surgery), but I used to get them regularly... I had light aura migraines... the sparkly kind... they were wicked!

I hope you didn't get a full blown migraine,  I used to get debilitating ones, I know how horrible they are.  Feel better!!!!!!!

Hello Menu friends 

Spending my day getting ready to travel to Tulsa for the weekend. My son is a professional ballet dancer and has a leading role in the production so I'm excited.  When I get back it's back to work for me! 

QOTD: same as many, my Nutritionist has said that I need to make sure I get whole grains in at every meal. My supposed menu plan has potatoes, toast, crackers, etc. I've never followed any of that because of the advice here. At my appointment with her at 3 weeks I just smiled and nodded. 

B: 1/2 c cottage cheese, chamomile mint tea, benefiber and mirolax. 

L: Tuna pouch, 1 tbl. Light mayo

D: 2oz ground beef, with marinara

S: Proti protein Lemonade 

Calories: 479, protein 73, carbs 19, fat 14

You'll be close to me! I'm in Oklahoma City! I lived in Tulsa for a few years, it's a pretty little city! Enjoy, and congratulations to your son!!!
