What's on your Sunday menu RNYers?

Good morning guys!

Happy May 24 weekend to my Canadian friends!!

You look awesome Erin! Great job! Lots of changes, same great smile!

Six months ago I was pacing around my living room waiting to leave for surgery and worrying about... everything. This morning I stepped on the scale 98.5 lbs lighter than I was that morning. Insane. I'll be digging out my pre op clothes today and taking some pics.

QOTD We have the exact same problem with the car! I never even adjusted it before but now once I've driven the seat is too far forward for him to get in and once he is in the rear view mirror is giving him a perfect view of the back seat. Lol. Things like that just never crossed my mind pre op.

A few times at work I've been given the middle seat in the truck which is just so bizarre. The middle is for the smaller of the people trying to fit in and that has never ever been me. It's also strange that all these new people in my life have no idea what I looked like a year ago. We are bringing in a new guy that most of us haven't met yet and the comment from our project manager was "He's a bigger guy but that doesn't mean he can't keep up with the rest of you just because you're all "normal" weight." .....ummm... I'm what??

6 months post op today

B- coffee w/ 1/2 premier chocolate

B2- brunch with his parents for mothers day

D- red meat tbd... maybe even steak and shrimp to celebrate

S- remaining premier in coffees

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Yup-- those comments from others that include 'us' as 'normal weight', 'thin' etc still has me looking around like who, me?

I'm off to the research facility in a bit for a day full of various labs and tests (for a study I'm in). Not sure what lunch will be - they give us a voucher to go to the hospital cafeteria, which luckily has a lot of bariatric-friendly "stuff" - like yogurt, hummus with raw veggies, cottage cheese - so I should be fine. Not looking forward to getting electrical shocks today - or my finger *****ed for blood (i wish they'd just take a tube of it with a hypodermic needle..it's not as unpleasant as those stupid finger *****s).

down to 137 this morning - my lowest weight since junior high. Not sure what's going on as I'm not trying to lose - I'm assuming empty bowels?? I've also been eating a bit more protein than usual lately, so maybe less water retention, too?

QOTD: I've noticed lately that I can now cross my right leg in addition to my left (which I've been able to cross for ages now) - but that's more related to my crappy hip joint than my weight. Otherwise - hmmm - probably nothing recently, but then, I've been in maintenance for awhile.

23 months out (maintenance):

B: homemade Greek yogurt with flaxseed

S: canteloupe/vanilla protein shake, coffee with half & half

L: hummus with raw veggies? (although my stomach has been upset twice in the last two days - so maybe raw veggies wouldn't be the best choice. Maybe cottage cheese?)

D: salmon and asparagus

probably another Greek yogurt later tonight - or a bariatric-friendly shamrock shake

I thought it was odd that I can only cross my left leg over my right- glad to see I wasn't alone in that.

I HATE finger sticks. My Mom use to do them to me all the time cause she swore I was diabetic.

I too can only cross the left leg over the right. I thought maybe because I broke the right leg as a baby and when I had Xrays taken for my arthritic hip the surgeon told me that break never healed correctly. And I also have a phobia about finger *****ing and squirm and squeal like a baby whenever I have to have it done. Once I had to have eight of my ten fingers done and was literally out of my mind by the time they finished.

Morning everyone! I've been on my run and am now nursing a blister. I realized the socks I'm wearing are too big. They bunch up awkwardly and caused the friction that caused the blister. I have the house to myself for a while since hubby is taking the boys to church. I could do a bunch of things- but likely won't :-) I will shower and hit the grocery store.

qotd: NSV...hmmm. Latest was probably getting into my smallest bra size to date-36D, down from a 46DD. Mind you the 'D' part is an overstatement. I'm a medium to small C cup at best, but extra skin makes me need the D. Oh, and I'd got a free pair of panties from Victoria secret a few months back. I could look at them and tell they wouldn't fit then-- but I'm wearing them just fine now.

195.5 today, two years out, mini goal to 190.5

m1: 2 scrambled eggs, 3 slices turkey bacon, 1 slice regular bacon

m2/m3: kind of tired of everything- maybe a protein shake

m4:pork chops, mashed sweet potato

What great pics! Amazing.

QOTD: I noticed the other day when we were at a restaurant and I dropped some food off my plate it fell on my lap where my napkin was! No wonder people put that thing there. It used to just fall right on the girls!

B: decaf and protein hot chocolate

L: omelette with egg, grilled chicken, goat cheese and mushrooms

D: sirloin and broccoli

S: babybel

calories 754, protein 96, carbs 23, fat 32

Oh, the stains I used to get on tops from "catching" spills!! LOL

I'm a guy and my food still falls on my girls! LMAO!

Although it's getting better!

Amazing difference!!
