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

Good Morning from a snowy/rainy Toronto!  Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today!  I expect the menu post will be quiet today, everyone is busy cooking, cleaning or travelling!  But since I am stuck at work I will post as usual! I have a bad menstrual headache right now and it's days like today that I really wish I could take Advil! Ugh!

QOTD: Manual toothbrush or an electric toothbrush?  And Colgate or Crest or other kind of toothpaste?  So we have both manual & an Oral-B electric toothbrush. I love the Oral-B it makes my teeth feel clean like I just left the Dentist but I do use the manual for a quick clean after I eat so I switch back and forth. And for me it has to be Colgate!  I don't like the taste of Crest or the Sensodyne brand. 

B: tuna with balsamic

L: Greek chicken kabob with a bit of Greek salad

S: 2 babybel & 6 grapes

D: pork chops with A1 sauce and steamed zucchini with lots of butter!

S: protein hot chocolate, 2 babybel and 1/2 a bag of Smartpop popcorn 

TOTALS: 861 calories,  113 protein, 25 carbs,  40 fat

V: PatchMD vitamin patches are on 

L: 4 coffees done (1 with a capful of Miralax) lots of cold water with SF cranberry juice

E: if not still raining when I get home take the dogs out for a walk and then to the gym for a 5km run and abs

Have an amazing wonderful day with your family & friends everyone!  Gobble Gobble!  

Just want to say that I love to read this thread every day (though I had VSG). I enjoy the banter over QOTD and it's a good group!  Have a great day!

You are welcome to join us ... we don't discriminate on basis of surgery...and really once you are past the first stages, the menus really look the same...

Join in ! Lurking be damned.

I had VSG too! This is the best place and we are welcome with open arms!

Liz you are more than welcome to post on our menu board, we have several VSGers that post and all are welcome, it's about the support & friendships not the type of surgery you had. Please join us!! 

Morning Daisy! Boo on the snowy/rainy day!  

We are all settled here in South Carolina. I'm currently enjoying the free breakfast the hotel offers with my son. Just finished my run in the the fitness center too. I thought about you this morning when you were sick for your Thanksgiving-- my hubby came down with something last night and sounds miserable.  I'm letting him rest a bunch- he did most of the driving yesterday. Last night a neighbor brought my mom over a zucchini bread she baked for her. It was awesome-- scary awesome. Made me happy we weren't sleeping there to have it tempt me all night. And we had birthday cake for my niece-- I had a very small slice of that too- otherwise my day was on track. 

qotd: manual tooth brush mostly. We have an electric but it can't be kept in the bathroom because the outlet is connected with o the light switch. So if we turn out the light then the toothbrush won't charge. It's in my bedroom- but we forget about it in there. And I'm Colgate only too! 

18 months post op today- no scale so no weight.

m1: 3 slices Canadian bacon, 1 western omelette, 1/2c oatmeal

m2-4: turkey, roast beef, ham, greens and candied yams  will be on my plate. I forget my food scale-- I may buy one.  I will not eat rice, stuffing or mac and cheese.

Dessert will be had-- the decision is the hard part-- sweet potato pie, cheesecake and carrot cake are some of the options. I will take my dessert to go for when we're back in our room and I'm craving something extra. 

Happy Thanksgiving to my American OH's! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Preparing dinner for 16 today...

Weather cold and cloudy, may see some flurries.

Good Morning Daisy!!

QOTD: manual and only Colgate Total whitening!

11 weeks postop

menu heavy on turkey today. I usually pre plan but not today. Surprised I have no desire for the pies or sides I prepared ???

Have been feeling crappy from Lyme, will try to be around a little more.

Morning! 

Business as usual here too!

hubby is working from home today, so I'm hoping he'll slack a bit and we can do something fun. I'm a terrible influence!

But in keeping with the thanksgiving theme... Yesterday I stopped to pick up a bag of dog food. I parked a bit far from the store, so it was getting pretty heavy by the time I got to the car. It weighed 30 pounds. And then I realized I've lost more than two bags, almost three. This absolutely blew my mind. I am so thankful for my surgery and the support of you all.

qotd: electric toothbrushes, I can not handle! I hate the sensation of them vibrating on my teeth. I only use Colgate 360 toothbrushes. Seriously the best ever. And usually Colgate tooth paste, but I'm less fussy about that. What annoys me is the variety of toothpastes. Way too many options! We're getting into yogurt territory(a pet peeve of mine is spending 10 minutes in front of like 100 varieties yogurt...but I'll save that rant for another day)

menu:

B: 1egg with a bit of leftover steak

L: not sure since I'm hoping to talk my husband into going somewhere... if not, yogurt and bran buds

D: 1 -2 ounces of Italian sausage with braised cabbage

S protein shake if I need it.

calories under 500, protein 60. My protein has been a bit lower the past couple days (still usually at least 1g for every 10 calories, but just need to pay a bit more attention...)

Good morning everyone

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Menu

B   just finished 2 oz of ham steak w/melted cheese
