What are you eating today?
They have a thread like this on the main RNY boards, but I'd honestly rather compare and get feedback from you all - I've found that the key to staying on course for me is planning out my day in advance -
I'm supposed to be trying to get in about 1000 calories a day now, according to my nut, but with as little as I can eat at a time and the fact that she doesn't want me "snacking", it's a little hard - Up to about 800 today if all goes well!
Morning Snack:
Protein Shake with Ispure Zero Carb Dutch Chocolate and 8 oz skim milk
Breakfast:
1/2 Grilled Cheese Sandwich
1/2 cup Side salad
Lunch:
Italian Style Shrimp (5 med shrimp, fresh tomato, onion, green pepper; with parsley, oregano, garlic)
Afternoon Snack:
1/2 serving (5) Fiber Selects Wheat Thins
1 2% Cheddar Cheese Stick
Dinner:
Taco Salad (2 oz seasoned ground beef, 1/2 cup romaine lettuce, tomato, onion, green pepper, 2 TB shredded 2% cheese)
Totals: 803 calories, 23g fat (24.8%), 53g carbs (25.64%), 103g protein (49.56%)
I'd like to do this every day to keep myself accountable - anyone who wants to join in or comment is welcome, but if you think it will clog up the boards, just let me know and I won't :)

This is a great idea. If I only had the time to do it daily I may have started it a long time ago!
Monday's are horrible for me work/schedule wise so I am "off" in my routine.
Breakfast:
EAS advantage protein shake
small banana
Snack:
four celery sticks with peanut butter
8 oz skim milk
Lunch:
a small bowl of home made taco soup
snack:
a small handful of triscuits
sf applesauce with cinnamon
8 oz skim milk
dinner:
not 100% sure but I am thinking about steak and baked sweet potato
8 oz skim milk
snack:
EAS protein shake
SF banana pudding
REMEMBER: I HAVE TO UP MY NUMBERS BECAUSE OF FROGGER:::I WOULD NOT BE EATING THIS MUCH PREPREGNANCY!

Life could not get any better than this!
I like this.... Lately I cant seem to eat. Just have so many things on my mind. Never did I think that this would happen...
I start my day with coffee i put 1 sweet n low in it and a tsp of coffeemate.
I just cant eat first thing in the morning.
at 10am (its "brunch!) I had some crabmeat @ 5 oz, mixed with lil mayo/celery and on a sm. toasted bun.... (at 11... my body reacted poorly!!)
In the fridge I still have some celery sticks (and pb in my desk drawer) and 1/2 cup of steamed yellow/green squash.
dinner will be maybe some turkey and veggies?
snack later maybe some popcorn?
but hey.... i'm back in my 'skinny jeans...' lol
oh and so far I have had 16 oz of water.
