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

I definitely had a few friends that just didn't "get" the college thing. It was minor stuff, they wanted to go out, but I was studying for finals, etc. Mostly, now that I'm graduated they know I'm the same person I've always been. Im grateful that I didn't lose my closest friends, but I did cut ties with a few who just seemed to keep undermining my goals and accomplishments. Maybe that's what you need to do with this friend, even though saying that is definitely easier than actually doing it, especially if their company is habit.

Im so glad I found this forum! Keeping up with the daily menu thread, reading everyone's questions and responses--it really helps keep my head in the game while I'm trying to lock down my unhealthy eating habits, and gives me goals for post-op life. I do have a better support system for weight loss, thankfully. Most of my friends know about my diabetes and infertility struggles, and haven't said anything negative about WLS. My mom had RNY 15 years ago, and my husband just had it in May, so at least two people closest to me know exactly what it's like.

That is so amazing that you have two very close people in your personal life to support you like that! You're going to do great. So happy for you!

Quick post (in the office today). Will read other posts tomorrow morning.

QOTD: Absolutely! I feel that I have friends on OH, so I talk about them as I would any other friend. It did amaze me at first that we can develop friendships online as I'm closer to your mother's age than your age.

B: eggbeaters and cottage cheese

L: tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: 1/2 leftover burger and veggies

S: cheese sticks and protein bar

Ok... I need to ask this. Do you mix the eggbeaters and cottage cheese together??? Or? I've wanted to ask this forever!

Yes I do, before cooking the eggbeaters. The cottage cheese melts, which I never realized it would. I love them!

Haha, I bet my husband is sick to death of me parroting things I read here. Usually nobody specific, but I'll say,"according to OH..." He had RNY in May, and I'm still pre-op, but I feel so prepared, and wish he'd come on here himself. But he's not big on support groups, so I'm support grouping for the both of us. My mom is a member here, and I'm sure she stalks but doesn't post, so sometimes I bring up this forum to her too, or she'll tell me to look at a specific thread.

Accountability: started "shark week" and craving everything under the sun. I want to eat pizza, salt and vinigar chips, drink a cherry coke, and have gummy bears for dessert. I'm going to see Wonder Woman tonight with DH, and am going to allow myself a SMALL popcorn. SMALL!!

breakfast: Greek L&F

snack: oh snap! Pickled carrots

lunch: leftover chicken enchilada "casserole"

dinner: pepperjack turkey burger w/o bun

treat: SMALL movie popcorn. SMALL!

Morning morning! Running super late this morning.

Accountability: Going pretty well. Nothing new except I forgot to take my vitamins yesterday and today I am dragging.

QOTD: My Guy only accepts that Pammie is real because we all got to hang out. The rest of you he just nods and looks at me sort of like you look at a small child telling you about their imaginary friend.

Menu: B: Greek yogurt and Grape Nuts (I had a rough morning yesterday when I first tried the Grape Nuts...today if I am in the potty all morning again...no more Grape Nuts. Had to try again though because I don't want to waste the box I bought.) L: Cottage cheese with diced tomatoes and 4 oz IP BBQ pork; D: Not sure...grocery store delight I think.

LOL.....my wife gets the same look....LOL.....you described it much better than I!

I'm glad I'm an accepted part of his reality!

We'll have to get together SOON, so I don't fall into his imaginary friends list
