What's on your Thursday menu RNYers?

Howdy,

Still in frustration land. How can I go 17 days without losing any weight? I am actually up a pound since then.

Not happy.....:( Its hard to stay motivated on 600 calories a day and no losses. And my protein is 80-100 so its not that. And no, not eating lots of carbs. And drinking my water and vits and getting some exercise.

QOTD: I like the 97% FF kosher hotdogs which are 45 calories each and 6 grams protein, babybel, cold chicken breast out refrigerator, ham roll ups, protein pudding, yogurt greek ff.

Food for today:

Isopure banana and lots of decaf 25 grams protein 130 calories

Lunch: Maybe turkey eggbeaters and cheese 26 grams protein 190 calories

Snack: Hot dog ff kosher 2x 12 calories 90 calories

Dinner: Headed to a trade show so this could be dicey. Might try to eat something before this or bring a 1/2 protein bar 100 calories and 10 grams protein

Snack: Protein pudding 13 grams protein 90 calories

total: 600 calories , 85 grams protein 64 ounces water

I hear you! I do my monthly totals from the date of my surgery- On Sept 12 I was 1 lb heavier than I am right now and my weight is coming off so slowly! I get worried that I will never lose all the weight but I guess it's just slower as I get closer to goal.

Where do you find the ff kosher hotdogs? 45 calorie, that's great!

See below. They are Hebrew National brand and in every grocery store. I eat them with SF bbq and mustard for a yummy snack.

Stalls happen to EVERYBODY, it's part of the process. Be patient and the scale will move again!

Hi Again,

Somebody asked about the Kosher beef 97% ff hotdogs by Hebrew National. 45 calories and 6 grams per hotdog and they actually taste like beef!!

Sooo late today! I'll post now and read later!

Accountability: I'll avoid triggering anyone with my misbehavior - but I was over in calories and carbs yesterday. My bumped up exercise routine is being felt for sure, both physical exhaustion which is rather nice, and a deeper, real feeling, hunger. I see so many of you who do up to two HOURS of cardio a day while eating just a few hundred calories and I can't imagine!!!!

QOTD: Cottage cheese with added protein powder (flavored or unflavored), Greek yogurt, or hard boiled eggs

5 mo post RNY/152lbs/ Weight-Loss Stage

B- Chia seed pudding (1.5 TBSP Chia seeds, half an RTD Premier Protein Caramel, 1 scoop plain whey protein)

Protein Latte (espresso with frothed Pure Protein 'Banana Cream' RTD) - the banana cream latte was drinkable but not the best choice. I'll go back to using the banana cream cans up in Chia seed puddings..

MS- Protein coffee (regular work coffee with one creamer plus a scoop of plain protein powder mixed with warm water and a packet of truvia)

L- Iceberg lettuce, .5 oz shredded cheddar cheese, grilled chicken breast, taziki dressing

AS- nothing

D- 3 oz shrimp ****tail plus 1 tsp ****tail sauce

ES- Green chai tea with truvia and 1 scoop of plain protein powder

Exercise: My bike is in the shop, but I did swim laps this morning! I also rode the bus to work so that added about 4000 steps to my day :)

Late post for me today, but since I didn't post yesterday, I wanted to get a post done today. I haven't had time to read today yet either so I will catch up over the weekend.

I have had a busy couple of days, I think I'm ready to back to work tomorrow just so I can quit running (driving) around all over.
