What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

So sorry to hear about your medical issues! I hope everything gets better soon! Thought and prayers headed your way.

Edited to fix a typo.

Sorry you're going through this. I hope they can figure this out quickly.

Good morning! I agree with you JB, I like my feet on the ground thank you very much!! It was pouring rain on the way to work and it's supposed to be like this all day. This makes it hard for me to want to go the gym after work but today is pilates and I love that class. So, I will go, no excuses.

QOTD - Huge changes - mine was like yours, almost 2 years ago I moved in w/BF. It was pretty scary at 46 uprooting my life and merging with his. It was the best decision I ever made, we are perfect for each other. It was a smooth transition for me also but I think that's the way it goes when it's meant to be!

4 month surgiversary - 69 pounds gone!

Yesterdays menu again...

B-coffee w/heavy cream and SF hazelnut syrup

b2-cheddar cheese and almonds

l-tuna w/mayo and onion

d-leftover tri tip

v/l -good

e -pilates class

Have a great day!!

I guess I really should include my WLS! It's a huge deal and very life changing as well.

GrimBerry works! I like it!

QOTD: I feel like my entire life has been upended in the last 12 months (DH losing job, huge drop in income, the election, and, of course, my father), but I still think my last life-changing decision was having WLS in June of 2015. The rest is stuff I'll just need to muddle through... One good thing - the class portion of the 10-month research study I'm in starts tonight! I was assigned to the yoga & meditation group - the one I was hoping for! This should be really helpful for my stress level!!

21 months out

B: homemade Greek yogurt, fresh raspberries

S: coffee with half & half, protein shake

L: chicken wrap (3 oz chicken breast, 2 T hummus, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, Flat Out wrap) (will divide this into two lunches today - it was a bit much to eat the whole thing in one sitting yesterday)

D: Michigan salad with chicken breast

probably another Greek yogurt later on

Good morning menu friends!

Grimberry is hilarious and cute...I don't think I could come up with a good combination name for the hubby and I...not much you can do with Patrick and Kelsey....Katrick? Pelsey? Patsey?

I've finally graduated to being able to sleep in a bed - I took a glorious 2 hour nap this morning in our guest room and as long as I stay on my right side with good pillow supports I am golden. I was getting pretty tired of sleeping in the recliner. I'm on day 3 of antibiotics and my incisions look way better....even the ugly port incision, yay! I felt a bit queasy this morning but I think it's because my appetite has been so wonky since surgery that I'm not eating enough to make my body happy. I came across this comic yesterday and it was so perfect, some of you have already seen it on fb...but it cracked me up. I'm happy to say that I didn't have to resort to milk of mag....my guts are working just fine now

QOTD: I think the last big this-changes-everything decision I made was when the hubby and I sat down and had a discussion about whether or not we wanted to try and have a baby. When we first got married we weren't interested in having children, we liked our life the way it was and we didn't feel like we were fiscally secure enough to afford a child. Another big factor was where we lived....the schools were awful, the neighborhoods were awful, etc. Once we moved to NC and settled here and genuinely loved it....we had the talk. Not so much the 'my biological clock is ticking' talk as 'we need to make a firm decision before the clock breaks (and btw I need to refill my bc pills tomorrow should I bother?)' It was definitely a life-changing decision and one of the best we've ever made.

Menu:

B: Unjury Protein Shake, Fairlife Milk, Banana

S, L, S - TBD

D: Corned Beef w/Carrots & Potatoes

Have a great day guys!

After my husband and I got married we discussed having a child together. I really didn't want another one. We each already had a son from previous marriages. I ran out of birth control but had an appointment the next day. I told him he had 1 shot. Our daughter is now 7 hahaha. Go for it! I say Don't fill the birth control.

Grimberry is perfect!

QOTD- In the fall of 2014 I decided to separate from my husband. Due to some stresses on his side, we delayed it until the fall of 2015. At that point we had been married for 29 years! We started going to marriage counseling at the ten year mark, and my husband would say that he always MEANT to work on things but never really tried. I grew up in the Midwest, and felt strongly that if two good people love each other, they can make a marriage work. We were both faithful, but I guess love means different things, and while he loves me, he won't compromise. Clearly I am still dealing with some guilt! He's turning 77 in a month, and I'll be 50 this summer. I feel like I'm walking away when he will need me the most! On the up side, since I moved out, I've recovered from a pretty brutal depression that had been lingering for over a decade. I am also over most of my anxiety, and with my improved mental health, I can finally address this weight problem! Even more shocking to me, is that after being separated for over a year, I tip toed into dating and OMG it's been such a fun experience! I didn't know I could get butterflies at this age!

RNY NEXT WEEK!!!

B- skipped because we were supposed to be having "breakfast for lunch" as a birthday meal at work - then that was canceled.

MS - dark chocolate

L- left over chicken w/bbq sauce

AS - Smoked Almonds

D- Rosemary chicken with almonds and a side of roasted broccoli and cauliflower with horseradish sauce.

Working on my 5000 steps today, already got in four flights of stairs :)

I spent several years in a depression, married to the wrong person... I totally understand! And on the 'butterfly' front... I'm 52, those babies still fly high and strong!!! Enjoy them!

Good morning JB and crew!

QOTD: last big decision would be to move to a FARM and quit BOTH OF MY JOBS. Scary. And exciting. But scary.

B: Fairlife with coffee and miralax, Fuzzy navel Julius thing

L: Salad with 4 beet slices and hb egg, lite ranch

D: no clue I am taking my daughter back to school, maybe sashimi

S: foil-less beef jerky coins, 6 (1 oz)

Totals: well IDK about dinner so no

I forgot my greek yogurt this morning for the first time. And I have decided that I am having too many meals... I have breakfast, then yogurt at 11:00, then salad at 12:15, then maybe another snack at 2:00 then ... and so this is a good time to skip the yogurt and see how I do. I was way over yesterday, almost 1000 calories. All good stuff but too many meals.

Have a great day everyone!
