What's on your menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?

I really think that posting here is a huge key to my success because it keeps me focused. So thanks to all of you for keeping me honest and accountable. 

Such an inspirational story and love the photos! You look amazing.  I think I will probably shout it to the rooftops when I reach goal one day in the future (I haven't had surgery yet).

Always love your pics, Karen.

I never get tired of seeing your transformation! And I hope to channel your openness about my surgery. I've already had two people from my extended family reach out! 

I figure most people know someone who had surgery and either didn't make it to goal or gained most of their weight back. I want to be the good example that might lead someone else to take charge of their weight and health too.

Good Morning from the suburbs of Chicago!  Things appear to be going very well.  I'm 11+ weeks out.  I'm grateful I'm tolerating almost everything I've tried.  I probably was getting a little too experimental and pushing boundaries.  I never got so far out that I triggered getting sick, but the experiment is over and its time to fully take advantage of my honeymoon.  I've spent most of this week cleaning out the little extras and with next week's CAMAW - that should finish things up.

I'm stupidly open, to the point in my life that people have taken advantage of me, but that is just the way I'm wired.  So most people know here at work.  I'm not aware of any felines in the office, so no cattiness.   If someone asks, I tell them.  All I can say is that everyone is very supportive (at least to my face).  Actually it has worked out well for me, as I once posted - at an offsite meeting with all kinds of fatty fried snacks, they special ordered a tray of veggies for me.  This was during my 7 weeks prep and all I was allowed was a very specific set of protein drinks and raw veggies.  It made me feel good that they thought of me, as I was only 1 of 120 people at the meeting.  I mean they didn't just have veggies for everyone, they special ordered 2 trays of veggies for me.  One in the morning and one in the afternoon.

B - Light and Fit Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of quinoa, flax and nut mix for texture

L - 3 ounces of low sodium deli style turkey, mustard and thin sliced vlasic pickles; mozz cheese balls

D - Salad, Boca burger

S - Premier protein banana cream shake; decaf Starbucks Americano; Jello with table spoon SF coolwhip

Wow, Alan, you're doing great!  Love the before and after photos; such a change!  You're looking great!  How kind of your coworkers to special order veggie trays for you!  Only 11 weeks out and you're killing this!

What is CAMAW?

There is a post on the main RNY Board explaining it... challenge next week- it refocuses everyone on protein first. AMAW= All Meat All Week

CAMAW + Critter version- All Meat All Week- whi*****ludes dairy, eggs and whey protein.... anything from a 'critter'

You're doing awesome!! 

Great work!
