What's on your menu today (Monday) RNYers - START OF AMAW/CAMAW!

I'm cheering you all on from the sidelines but pass on AMAW as I have issues with constipation and my weight is right where it needs to be right now. Lily and I got our 3.2 miles in early today and had a nice brisk walk. Post op 4 years 4.5 months and weight at 117.2 today. Here's the eats B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter added L 1 c chili D 31/2 oz strip steak with 1/2 c sweet potatoes S mission one chocolate brownie protein bar.  Have a great day everyone and make some smart choices that move you one step closer to your goal! 

Glad to hear that Lily is able to get her walk in.

Yes she seems to feel fine. Energy and eating and everything are completely normal. She has way more energy than me!

Sometimes I look at people's menus and say "I want to eat their menu for a day" Just to see what it is like.... So curious about the steel cut oats, since they take awhile to cook... Do you cook a batch at the beginning of the week and just reheat? Or cook daily? Brand? method?... I want the goods on it, because I've tried and never liked them....

I make them in my crockpot though I've not tried with peanut butter. They come out great! I put the oatmeal and water in a glass bowl and set the bowl in the crockpot. Then I add water in the crock (like between the crock and the bowl, if that makes sense). Cook in lowest setting overnight.

I cook a batch for the week and reheat 1/2 c each morning to eat with peanut butter and protein powder. Sometimes I add 1/2 T of no sugar added apple butter,peach butter or pumpkin butter. I use Quaker brand steel cut oats (not the quick cook ones as the texture is not quite the same) that I get at Walmart.

Any news yet on Lily and the test results. I have been praying for her.  Thanks for supporting and cheering us on here on the AMAW & CAMAW challenge!

No results yet but will post as soon as we know. 

I am so excited for my AMAW!! My family is really supportive. Here is my plan for today.

B- 2 ounces dungeness crab ( so yummy)

L- 2 ounces peppered turkey breast 

D- grilled pork loin with hot mustard

S- more pork loin with hot mustard

Lots of water and 1 cup of  black coffee with miralax in it. I ordered iron and calcium vitamin patches. I am excited. I can't seem to gage down the calcium citrate from unjury that I ordered. They are just to tart and make my jaw hurt.  I will update later with pictures and my totals. I was 229.6 today. I see my surgeon in 2 weeks. I am hoping to be 220 by then. I have been averaging 3.5 lbs a week weight loss, so its possible.

Have a great day everyone!!

I am so glad your family is so supportive, that is awesome! Your menu is fantastic!

You will love the patches, I wish I knew about them a lot sooner than I did, I found out at almost 3 yrs  post op and was choking down the vits as well, blah!

You can totally hit 220 in 2 weeks, you got this girl!!
