What's on your Thursday menu RNYers?

Morning all! I'll get us started at least.

Got up at the usual time but got very sick while on the train this morning...What a mess! Turned around and came home to rest and hydrate. Not sure of the cause but this is definitely going to be a bed and Powerade Zero day. Hopefully I will feel better by tomorrow.

QOTD: what do you do on sick days post WLS? I used to eat toast and noodle soup but those things don't settle any more. Also carbonated ginger ale makes me nauseated so NO go. I do drink lemon ginger hot tea and that helps. Lots of rest of course.

Menu: my goal today is to stay hydrated and later see if I can stomach a protein shake.

Hugs to all on this Friday eve!

Edited to add: oops looks like WriterGurl beat me

Menu in my thread, but I'll answer your Qotd! It depends on my level of sick I suppose, and I've only been sick once or twice since surgery. Once was for a stomach bug in which case I slept, drank as much hot ginger tea as I could, and watched old movies on Netflix on the couch. I too, would have once ate crackers and drank ginger ale, but the tea was fine for me. The other time was a migraine, and I slept most of the day, and when it was subsiding, i found myself coloring. In both cases I just tried to hydrate as much as possible and get a protein shake in.

QOTD: I just realized I haven't had a stomach bug since I had RNY - so I'm not sure! I've thrown up since then (especially the first 2-3 months post op) when things didn't sit well or when I overdid it, but that's different. I used to drink ginger ale when I had a bug, but I probably couldn't do that anymore. The lemon ginger tea sounds like it might be a good replacement, though!

Feel better!

Good Morning Janet and Menu Family!

QOTD: I haven't been sick since WLS other than one cold. Knock on wood!

Oh no, sorry you're not feeling well today. Just take it easy and stay hydrated for sure.

Yesterday's menu got derailed in the evening because my coworker and I are both having a hard time dealing with the weather change up here and just life stuff in general. We decided to go out for dinner and girlfriend time... Naturally I caved and ordered a margarita because it seemed like I needed it (even though I definitely didn't! Regrets...)... anyway, one margarita turned into two. I didn't go overboard with food though. I ordered a fajita taco without the tortilla. I always feel weird ordering things like that but I'm doing what I can to stay on the path (except for those two drinks. What's wrong with me?!). Now I have post drinking anxiety through the roof and I've already been struggling with that big time lately. I feel like I'm my own worst enemy right now

qotd: I suppose it depends on what my symptoms are. If I'm feeling nauseous I try to just drink ginger tea and things that will replenish my electrolytes. If it's something like a head cold then I usually curl up on the couch with hot and sour soup and try not to be too big of a baby about it. I'm so pathetic when I can't breath through my nose though lol.

b- almond latte and egg whites

l- syntrax

d- tbd. Probably chicken or a burger patty

have a great day everyone!

I hope that you feel much better! Rest up and take good care of yourself!
