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

Good morning! Daisy -what a sweet picture of you and your mama!! We have sunny skies for a few days, but it is still very cold!! In the 30's this morning but supposed to warm up to the 50's later.

QOTD - Food has been here and there and keeps changing. I had an aversion to meat and the smell of meat for a couple weeks, but that passed. I can't stand real sweet stuff. Although It's not food, my biggest issue has been water. I used to love water!! It's all I would drink besides coffee/tea. Now, I have to flavor it and I get bored easily. I really miss the taste of fresh, clean water. It tastes like crappy 'past it's prime', old stinky attic water now -if that makes sense.

2 months since surgery

B-Coffee w/ heavy cream and SF hazelnut syrup

S-L&F yogurt

L-Ham and cheese roll up w/mustard

D-Spicy sausage w/SF ketchup

S-2 sugar free popsicles

V-good

L-Trying to get in at least 64 and I'm having a hard time the last few days.

E-walking the dogs

The first 6 months I found to be a roller coaster of what agrees and doesn't agree... this week yes, this week no... seemed to even out at about 6 months. I finally could drink water normally at a year, but as time goes on I find hot beverages much easier....

I'm glad to hear that, hopefully I will have water back in my life! I agree about the hot beverages, even now they are easier to drink than cold.

I know exactly what you mean, I miss a big glass of ice water!! I get bored sometimes too with my SF cranberry juice I add, so for me the closest I can come to a plain glass of ice water is with a slice of lemon or lime. It breaks the surface tension enough and gives it a hint of flavour but still close to just a glass of ice water. I also love those bottles that have the infuser in the middle  (like pic below). My boss bought me one and I put raspberries or strawberries and its so lovely on a hot day!!  3 years out and plain water still tastes gross to me, not sure it will ever change...

Oh wow, these are great!!!! Must have, looking them up right now!!  Thank you!!

Good morning all!  Love the picture, Daisy!!!  So for the first time since I've been on it, my metamucil is failing me.  I'm pretty unhappy right now and will do anything to cure my problem.  So, I've doubled up on the metamucil, added 1/2 serving of prunes and a fully caffeinated latte this morning.  Fingers crossed for relief.

DQOTD:  Oddly, I can't think of a single thing that I loved before surgery that turns my stomach now.  Since I'm a conversion from VSG to RNY, there are things that I could have after my first surgery that make me want to hurl now.  Smoked salmon being the main culprit.  After my VSG it was one of my go to breakfasts, just smoked salmon with a dollop of cream cheese and I was good to go.  Since my RNY i've had it twice and neither time was pretty.  Now the thought of it makes me sick.

My plan:

B: 2 turkey sausage links and 1 scrambled egg

L: Chicken breast

D: Turkey and 1/4 c sweet potato

S: Latte; deli sliced ham, almonds after spin class

Cal: 914; Protein: 119g; Fat: 37g; Carbs: 35g

Have a great day!

If I remember right Miralax didn't work well for you right? Fiber?

MIRALAX is where is at baby!  Get thee to Target and get some STAT!!

Feel better, nothing worse than bathroom troubles!!!  Honestly I also eat 2-3 tbsp of bran buds a day in my yogurt and that helps so much!!

Miralax doesn't do it for me.  Metamucil always did.  I'm going to try doubling up and see what happens!

What are bran buds?
