What's on your Saturday menu, RNYers?

Mornin' Weekeders!

I'm headed to an early morning yoga class this morning, then meeting a friend for coffee. Not sure what else we'll do today - but we're going to a hockey game tonight. Tomorrow we're supposed to get a lot of snow, which sounds like a great day to stay home and make turkey stock!

weight is down 1.5 lbs this morning - thank God! I'm still feeling a bi****erlogged, though, so it may be back down below 150 (my "oh crap" level) by tomorrow. I hope.

QOTD: what items do you always (or usually) keep in your car? (other than the obvious). I have an atlas, a couple of magazines (for reading while at the gym), a camping chair, my yoga mat, and an extra sweater or coat. I also keep a ****yx pillow in there (yes, I still get tailbone pain - esp on longer trips)

3 years 5 months out:

B: homemade Greek yogurt with homemade raspberry sauce

MS: coffee with half & half, protein shake

L: 2 oz turkey and 2 T hummus on a Flat Out wrap, grapes

AS: carbmaster yogurt or a piece of protein pumpkin pie

D: TJ's grilled chicken strips, vegetables

ex: yoga. May go to the gym later as well

QOTD: I have little packs of nuts and single serve nut butters, a few different protein drinks and powder packs and bottled water just in case I get stuck somewhere I am not unprepared. I also have an extra hoodie since I get cold, and extra phone charger and typical car stuff stowed in the way back under part.

I am not sure what I will eat today. I need to focus on hitting fluids. It feels like being a new post op right now. Honestly, going through this medical stuff feels like groundhog day. I don't regret bariatric surgery but I think it is important to share the good and the bad because it isn't all roses. I was so sure that none of the negative stuff would happen to me :/

I'm sorry that you've been unwell, and I hope that your troubles will very soon be entirely corrected and completely healed. Feel better!

thank you. I think this is going to take a bit to correct if all goes well but it is something that many bypass patients deal with and I just have to get the big girl panties out and deal with it lol. It is really hard to not feel like a bariatric failure at this point but that is just no good thinking...it is just one of those things that happen sometimes. I gain so much from reading through the posts here on Obesity Help even if I don't post a response it reminds me I am not alone and part of a larger community of people who are all fighting their own fight

You are far from a bariatric failure! Hopefully everything will smooth out for you very soon. Hang in there!

Good morning menu friends! I did NOT want to walk this morning but Lily did so our 4 miles are done. I'll do another mile before supper too. I should get my steps in today as I have to get the camper packed to leave tomorrow for a month. I will have internet this time so will be posting still. I definetely need the accountability and to get the extra weight back off. Weight today is 126.6 so I'm going protein heavy with low carbs except my oats. Heres the food B 1/2c steel cut oats with protein and peanut butter L 3 slices deli turkey D 4 oz pork chop few bites green beans S string cheese and sm meat stick. Have a great day full of smart choices everyone! Now time for some coffee.

Thank goodness for our dogs in getting us moving!

Amen to that!

what protein do you use for your oatmeal? I eat quaker weight control oatmeal in the am but looking for something more protein forward

I just add 1/2 scoop of whey isolate to mine. Sometimes I use vanilla and sometimes chocolate.
