What's on your Saturday menu RNYers?

Howdy,

Woke up today to finally break my 10 day stall.

QOTD: The only person who stresses me out is me! LOL I have lots of angst ordering off a menu. My husband says to me just get the meal you want and you know I will fini**** for lunch or dinner. NOt the right answer. He doesn't have to worry about every single thing he eats. :) If I get the healthy meal without any carbs, like a piece of broiled fish and veggies, he wont eat that. A meal would last me many days

Todays agenda:

Protein espresso syntrax one scoop with 4 ounces of almond milk lite trader joes 130 calories 25 grams protein

Egg salad cottage cheese and one piece of lean trader joes ham chewed to death :) 14 grams 100 calories

Chicken cacciatore dark meat 3 ounces because of all the liquid 12 grams 100 calories

some sort of tex mex ground chicken and turkey mix 2 ounces plus shredded low fat and sour cream salsa

120 calories and 15 grams protein

some form of yogurt 4 ounces plus pumpkin spice and cinammon one splenda 60 calories 11 protein

total: mid 500 calories 64 ounces crystal lite decaf tea 77 grams of protein

Hello everyone,

QOTD:No one really stresses about my eating. They know I am always prepared with a meat stick or two just in case.

B:2eggs, 2slices bacon, slice of cheese

The rest of the day is TBD but it will be protein forward.

I hoping to make the Emie's or Kelly's egg salad today or tomorrow. Can't wait to use my TJ's EBB! I tasted it last night and I love it!

Thank you to everyone who said that I had to get it! :))

Good morning weekend peeps! DH and I are on the road to Kansas City, MO for a little weekend birthday getaway. It's been a while since we've gotten away just the two of us :)

QotD: I've gotten some raised eyebrows at work, though I'm not eating completely 100% like a post op RNY person yet. It's easy enough to say I'm on a low-carb diet. That's trendy enough ;) my own mom had RNY so she gets it, but my in laws struggle with what to feed my husband, though the way they eat, it's no wonder DH was the size he was. They are also both MO, and before, they would take us out to eat not once or twice, but sometimes three times a day when they drove in. When we go to their place, his mom prepares enough food for 10 people, half of it carbs. Last we were there was Father's Day, and I could tell his mom was crestfallen that he only ate half of a massive hamburger patty. I ate a whole one and a few veggies from the veggie tray, but she also had a big bowl of homemade potato salad, crescent rolls, chips, buns, fruit tray, baked beans, and corn on the cob. This was just a little BBQ for four.

Today's menu is up in the air. I made an omelette with ham, cheese, tomato, and green onions. I wanted a good breakfast since I don't know what we'll have the rest of our trip, but DH and I will share Protein forward entrees.

You're omelette sounds yummy!

It was! I love all kinds of veggies in my omelettes. I couldn't finish this one though, eyes were bigger than my stomach for sure.

Good afternoon :)

The wedding last night was wonderful and we have made it to the airport this morning. DH left his wallet in the car so that led to a little excitement, but we are at the gate now. I'm a little sleep deprived today, so I will probably nap when we arrive. My conference starts tomorrow, so no rest day.

QOTD: I have so many food police in my life. DH is sometimes good about it. My mom is good because she had surgery just after me. My Oma is overly helpful -- for Easter she bought a low fat ham that had the texture of meat jello. It was not pleasant, but I appreciated the extra effort for me. My sister is the worst -- she will say, "you would die if you ate that..." Gets old fast.

Snack - pudding

Breakfast - 1/2 breakfast English muffin

Snack - pepperoni cheese rollups

Lunch - a few bites of DHs sandwich (double meat)

Snack - protein bar

Dinner - unknown, probably a restaurant

Snack - unknown, need to find a grocery store

All water and vits.

Good morning OH~ It's still overcast and muggy here which I am so over. Very unusual for my neck of the woods. Rob is home, we have taken the dogs to the park and gone shopping already. I made the mistake of impulse buying the new flavor of chips - fried green tomato. They also had an everything bagel flavor, but I was able to leave them as I have my TJ's spice. My intention was to just lick a couple, but a couple made it all the way in. They taste great, but they didn't taste like fried green tomato to me. Ugh, they are now off limits to me. Why did I do that? Today we are taking to dogs to the groomers, going out for sushi, catching a movie this afternoon, BBQ some burgers tonight and catch up with our DVR shows.

QOTD - My family is fine, they don't bother me at all regarding food. I've also relaxed and I just roll with whatever is going on, I'm comfortable doing that because so far I've been able to make everything work. At work I feel people are constantly pushing food on me. One girl finally said that she wasn't trying to make me go off my diet, but would never want to be rude and not offer me what she is sharing. I don't let it bother me.

Accountability - I ate a SF fudgesicle that I did not plan for

8 mo post op - 186 still

b- Quad venti latte w/splenda

l-ahi sashimi

d-cheeseburger no bun

v/l - on track

e-walking dogs

Have a great day!!

Hi all,

Still broiling hot here today, with endless beautiful sunshine! I have errands yet to run today, then think I may go to the beach for an hour or so. Need to pick up some sunscreen first - I am super fair and will turn fluorescent, glow-in-the-dark pink if I'm not careful! Later I have a big project I need to work on in Photoshop and Illustrator.

Nobody has been less than supportive about what I am eating (or not eating).

First: Cappucino PP

B: 1.5 oz. Ham w Cheddar

L: Cinnamon Buns PP

D: Not sure yet, but in line with goals.

I lost 3.8 lbs since Wednesday, yay!

(Edited for Typos)

Late post since i went kayaking this morning. I had a lot of fun.

QOTD Some friends especially out of state dont get my diet. I try to do the best i can.

Accountability I didn't have my planned snack. I had this biscuit sandwich and brownie at my friends that she made. When I got home i ate baked potato chips.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and coleslaw

D boston butt pork shoulder and zoodles

No snack since dinner is later.

Have a good evening

Got behind this morning so I'm tardy to the menu party haha!

QOTD: I have noticed some people get stressed about my food options/choices and some people get almost annoyed or offended if I don't eat something similar to what their eating. It's almost like when you order an ice water at dinner and the other person gets all ruffled and makes a comment like "oh. Well I'm not drinking if you're not drinking.." It doesn't matter to me what their doing so why should it matter to them what I'm doing? People are so weird lol. I also have a friend who is constantly trying to get me to eat her food - her mother is anorexic and so I think she's convinced that I'm going to become like her mom because of how my body and eating has changed so much in such a short time. I understand where her thought process is coming from but it stresses me out because I feel like she's got me under a microscope.

Accountability: stayed in calorie range but I broke down and ate garbanzo beans and sunflower seeds last night. I also kept going back and forth to the kitchen and taking bites of things that I thought I wanted and then decided that I didn't want them so I kept spitting stuff out and changing my mind. Kinda felt like a kitchen ping pong ball haha. Oh well. Today is a new day.

B: choc pp shake

L: Greek light and fit yogurt

D: TBD

S: sb cold brew with cream and sf vanilla

V: patches

E: I'm working all day and I just don't know if I've got it in me today. I'm going to try to talk myself into though

hope everyone is having a good weekend!
