What's on your menu today (Monday) RNYers?
Good morning everyone!
This is my first time posting in this thread -- today is my first day back at work and I'm so stressed about doing my job well and getting in my fluid, protein and exercise. I was lucky to have the time off to focus on that and now I'm going back to reality. I know this thread and the pre planning it helps me do will keep me on track! Per the RD, this week I'm moving between purees and mechanical soft right now depending on how happy the new stomach is with a goal of getting to at least 2 meals that require work from the stomach!
QOTD: A few years ago, in Morocco, I had straight from the camel camel milk. It was foamy, warm and salty. Our guide said that a handful of dates and camel milk make a complete meal and it's very healthy --- but you won't see it on my menu planning!
Time since surgery - 4.5 weeks
B - 4 oz fairlife skim + 8 oz coffee (X 2); .5 Carmel PP shake
S - half greek yogurt
L - 2 oz Black Pepper Turkey breast, chopped
S - .5 carmel PP shake
D - half greek yogurt
If I need something after dinner/before bed, I'll have a 4 oz of milk.
And lots of water and hot tea once the coffee is done!
Totals - 71 Protein, 635 Calories, 43 carbs
V - my pill box is loaded for the week and I've gotten a good routine of multi (no Iron) and calcium chew after breakfast, set alarm for 2 hours and take iron and then multi and calcium chew again after dinner.
E - as soon as I finish this, I'll hit the treadmill for 45 min and then I'm joining a meet up group this evening for the first time to do a couple of loops around a local park.
Have a great day everyone!

Welcome to the thread and good luck back at work! I'm off to a flying STOP today! I too, am worried about my water intake, but not so much my protein. I'm currently drinking decaf coffee with Premier Protein as creamer (trick I learned here)
