What's on your menu (Photo Friday) RNYers?

TGIF, DAISY and Fellow Menu Peeps! What a busy week this has been! DH and son will be home, in a few hours. They have only been gone since last Friday, but I am ALMOST to the point of missing them...I know the pups and Short Peeps miss them...or at least they seem to, since they keep looking under the table, and banging on the Man Cave door, screaming "Pop! Pop!"...I might also mention the fish tank, popcorn machine and popsicles are kept in the Man Cave, and GiGi rarely ventures in there--but Pop does!!

Will have all 7 Peeps today...deep breaths, and a few prayers, will get me through...and with the guys home, I can even go to the potty...drum roll...ALONE !!!!!!

QOTD: Really going to date myself here: 1999...AOL dial up..."Ask Jeeves" was the search engine, that brought me to OH - the rest is history. I owe my LIFE, to the relationships I made via OH. For that reason, I can't see me ever leaving, no matter how wonky things get...and they have been pretty wonky, over the years...I just feel a loyalty, in my heart...If ONE person can get a fraction, of what I have gotten, my "work" is done...Ok...unicorn rainbow glitter fart moment over...

B: Coffee/Protein shake

L: Bunless HB

D: Going out for steak...oh hell yea

S: probably none..yogurt if needed

W: gallon

E: Rest day

***ETA: oops..Forgot my shoe pic, of my favorite Sketchers!!

Sketchers are so comfy! And those are so cute!

I'm all about rainbow things... and unicorns... but then, you already knew that about me

Oh, Gina! I absolutely LOVE those rainbow shoes!!!

I've been so lucky to "hear" your voice over the years.

You've helped me so many times.

Rainbow shoes to match your upbeat personality!

QOTD: OH was listed in our information package from the WLS center. I joined OH 3 months before surgery and read so many posts, that I didn't need to ask questions. I still learn and try to respond to a couple of posts a week. I really commend the people *****spond to the same posts day after day. But I do remember the scared feelings and disappointment with stalls. I remember readying about not being able to eat/drink, and I thought, "My God, really!, come on, who can't eat/drink" then of course, it happened to me :)

Fav shoes: My hiking shoes, crocs and now my flat Nike tennis shoes. I bought a pair of heels but I don't like wearing them.

The concert in Detroit was okay. Liked the first band but not the headliner.

B: 1 egg w/feta

L: Starbucks protein pack, 2 HB eggs, PB, 1/2 apple, 1/2 oz cheese, grapes

D: Zuchini & meat sauce

S: cucumbers & greek yogurt (used like sour cream) with a lot of salt

I have been reducing my pretzels and replacing with stuff from the garden.

W: 133.5

E: Hike/jog trail at Maybury State Park 4 miles

Awww Daisy, I am thrilled to have handed the daily menu thread baton to Anny, you and Julia :) I'm glad you keep it up!

I am so envious of your upcoming vacation. Meat, kittens, and hanging with the shortest and tallest members of OH!

I think I found OH from a piece of paper at my hospital's mandatory pre-op meeting. I remember coming on here, super curious...mostly skeptical, like "will it work for me?" I didn't know a single soul who had had WLS so I was starved for information. I remember seeing Grim's signature line, of having lost like a gazillion lbs, and thinking, "could that be me?". And a bunch of vets inspired me from the start, like Laura in Texas and Citizen Kim, and answered all of my stupid questions (is it weird that I can tolerate everything as I progress through my plans, why didn't I lose weight in the last 2 days when I am eating 400 calories, etc!). At that point the VSG board had a daily menu post but the RNY board didn't, so I started one. And here we are 3.5 years later - with a somewhat rotating cast of characters but lots of long-term folks too, and so much friendship and inspiration (for the most part LOL).

I have no shoe pic, alas. I find uploading pics to this site to be wayyyyy too cumbersome. And I work from home so I find that I have spent most of the summer in Croc flip-flops which are just not that cute.

Time Since Surgery: 3.5 years

B: Leftover turkey taco meat, shredded cheese, light sour cream, avocado (I am big on dinner for breakfast! My BF's kids just shake their head and tell me kindly, "You're so unique!")

L: 2 links of AmyLu spicy andouille chicken sausage with dijon mustard; cucumber salad with vinagrette

D: Aidells mango chicken sausage, homemade french fries, asparagus

E: None. I have really been slacking here. We may go to the pool later today (it's going to be over 100 here).

V: Patches on!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Good morning! Happy Fri-yay!! How exciting that your vacation is coming up! We are off to spend the day at the beach-another hubby birthday request. Tomorrow we are having a little party at a pizza/arcade place and then Sunday Em and I are heading to Great America.

I am not going to post a shoe pic because when I post pics from my phone they always show up huge.

QOTD: OH was listed as a resource in my binder but I didn't create an acct until post-op. Pre and post op when I would use Google to look up something it kept sending me to OH posts so I decided it was my place to be.

Menu: latte, boiled egg with bagel spice and Buddig turkey lettuce wraps L: TBD S: latte and I have yogurt and jerky packed D: TBD

E: one hour stair climber and 1/2 hour on elliptical and walking on the beach

W/V on track.

I hope everyone has a great day!

It's Friday ya'll!!! Rob (BF) came home late last night and has a final interview today at a local firm. He says it's a formality and will most likely be offered the job. I hope they don't keep him hanging all weekend, I'd prefer to celebrate or move on what ever the case may be because it's stressing me out. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

Accountability - ate on plan yesterday!

QOTD - I came to OH because every question re RNY that I googled - OH popped up. It was in the literature I received from my center, but I didn't even see that until after I had joined. I joined a few weeks before surgery, but had been reading for a few months.

8 months post op today! - 192.8 holy crap - officially my all time lowest adult weight!

b-coffee w/heavy cream, splenda, egg salad

l-meatballs

d-shrimp scampi maybe a little Caesar salad

v/l -on track

e - 60 min lap swim

My favorite shoes~ Unfortunately, I treat them like China and rarely wear them. Love them and my sweet little assistant, Chloe!

Have a wonderful day!!

Very cute shoes!!! Right up my alley... Hahaha!
