What's on your Menu today (Wednesday) RNYers?
Good morning Daisy and menu crew, Happy Hump day! It was 7 when I got in the car this morning, though we are supposed to hit 40 with a chance of rain and freezing rain later.
Accountability was good, I have a friend from HS that stays a couple of days a year with us while he is traveling for business, he travels so much that he enjoys not having to stay in a hotel, he and I went to dinner last night , it was unplanned...but I was able to grab a grilled chicken salad with balsamic dressing on the side. he and I were laughing about how we will both turn 50 this year and are in the best shape of our lives.
QOTD - 10 years ago I was going through the pre op testing at a teaching hospital and in the end I made it through the process and changed my mind, I was not ready. I was going to have RNY but was not ready. 2013 I was miserable with my diabetes, my health was spiraling and then I found out a neighbor was looking into wls and that she was going to have the VSG. I decided I was ready and went through a different program and I loved it. What I enjoyed the most was the preop meetings/education, the RN had RNY , so she has lived it. She gave great advice and expectations. I never looked back.
Menu - staying with my new menu and I am doing well, though my workout plan has me really sore, I am using muscles I did not know I had!, Today is an off day and I am Thankful for that.
Stay healthy my friends!

Good Morning Daisy and Menu Family!
The high today here in Nebraska is supposed to get up to 57 degrees, but then we're supposed to get snow and tomorrow's high is only going to be 12 degrees! What crazy weather!
QOTD: My psychiatrist (who had had WLS herself) suggested it to me and gave me the OH website but I didn't seriously consider it until a couple things happened. 1. My liver doctor said if I didn't lose weight I would be in total liver failure within 5-10 years. 2. And my mom died and I was heartbroken and decided I didn't want to die young and leave Saralisa without a mother any sooner than I have to. Once I decided to have WLS, it didn't take long. I got approved right away and got an appointment fast and just jumped right into it. I'm happy to report that my health is so much better now and my liver enzymes are back to normal!

Evil delicious goodies is what they are!
Its a tiny nuggets of yummy!
They are these sunflower seed bites.
Here is link to them on amazon. I have tried them in cinnamon (AMAZING) and dutch cocoa (also amazing). The stats are not great so okay to eat in maintenance but not for newbies in the losing phase.
You have been warned if you get them they are addictive!
