What's on your Menu today (Monday) RNYers?
Congrats on your surgery! Keep up those fluids! I really liked SF popsicles when I was early on and I still have them sometimes when I feel mouth hunger but I really don't need more food.
HW: 248+, SW (RNY: 2/28/17): 244, GW (10/17): 125; LW: 115; 45# regain (19-20); CW: 135.6; new goal: 135; Plastics: Ext mastopexy, Ext abdominoplasty-5/18/2018; diagnosed w/ gastroparesis 11/20.
Welcome Meerkat!
A lot of us can't do regular water, I am 3.5 years out from RNY and I still don't like plain water, it hurts. If in a restaurant I have to have a slice of lemon. But postly I use either Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry juice which I take a glass of ice water or just cold water and literally "splash" some of the cranberry juice in for a bit of colour, its pretty much the only way I drink water now. Or at any grocery store or Walmart you can get the "water flavourings" one of my fav's is Grape Koolaid, one little squirt and viola water tastes good again!
Hope you will join us here on the Menu board. We have lots of fun and lots of support and we tell it like it is if we think you are headed down a path that we think will stall your weight loss, remember we have all gone here before you, we do know what we are talking about.
Good luck at your one week tomorrow! Come back and tell us how it goes!
Best of luck,
Daisy
Thanks for starting us off today Daisy. QOTD I am a moderately loud sneezer and always sneeze in multiples. My boxer Lily is scared of sneezes and especially gets terrified when she sneezes herself. Spent a wonderful Mothers Day yesterday with my inlaws. I think I have the best mother in law ever. I was never close with my mother as we were a very dysfunctional family and she's been gone 8 years but my MIL has always been there for me and stepped up as a grandma and friend too. My mother never kept my 2 boys overnight and saw them 2 or 3 times a year (and she lived about an hour away) but Grandma Joanne let them stay whenever they wanted. She is such a blessing to us all. Got phone calls from both boys too so overall a great day. Lily and I have our three plus miles in already and will do another 11/2 miles after supper. Post op 4 years 8.25 months and weight at 117.6 today. Food plan for maintenance today B 1/2 c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter added L 31/2 oz deli turkey and cheese and pepper slices D 31/2 oz smoked sausage 1/2 c Tuscan veggie blend S P3 Pak. Have a great day everyone and make some smart choices that move you one step closer to your goal. Picture of yesterday's church outfit which I got at a yard sale for 5 dollars.
