Whatcha eating today VSGers...Wednesday!!!

I'm one of the rare ones on here that don't like coffee! But I know how it feels to give up something you love (it was soda for me) so stay strong and good luck!

B: Mint Cookie shake
S: 3oz of shrimp w/ a spicy greek yogurt dip that I picked up at costco (so good!)
L: Frisco's Beef Teriyaki- delish!!
S: hoping to skip it but it will be either some protein chips or a cheese stick
D: a mexican crockpot chicken that's been cooking all day
S: again, hoping to skip but will have veggies and the spicy dip if I need (want!) it.

water: on track
vits: one more calcium
exercise: walked 3 miles

I'm the same way--hate cofee, was always a soda fanatic.  i've been soda (and so therefore caffeine free) since 2 days before 2-week pre-op...mid-November...

I am drinking enough caffeine to cover every one :)

 

Day 3 of 600 cal, low carb shakes. Thank god for heavy rx pain meds to cover up the carb withdrawal that normally comes with a low carb attempt.

 

B: coffee, chike protein shake

L: more coffee, chike protein shake

D: double stuff cookie protein shake

 

No exercise for me....excrutiating back pain going on a week now. Boooo.

I have a suggestion for your Back.  (That is as long as the incisions are healed from your plastics)  Try TIGER BALM (it gets rubbed on your skin).  They sell it at Whole foods.  Since surgery my doctor told me no NSAIDS.  I have constant pain from Fibromyalgia.  For headaches I rub it on my forehead, neck aches on my neck,   I use it for my back, knees and ankles too.  Everything that hurts.  It works wonders!!    Better than Nsaids.   :-) 

Happy HUMP day :)

B: shake

L: small strip of steamed chicken breast, laughing cow wedge, cottage cheese

D: steamed chicken breast (sensing a theme here lol), spinach, grape tomato, ginger dressing

S: probably a steamed artichoke :)

water: 12 cups in

vitamins: oopsie, forgot to refill my calcium bag, won't be home til at least 10 so I'll miss one dose today :(

B- coffe sf creamer
Egg whites mixed with laura lean taco meat
L- 1/4 c cottage cheese and more taco meat
D- Jenny O Turkey breast and broccoli
S- another cup coffee
1/2 quest bar
V- y
X- off day but I usually walk. Can't today b/c of snow and kids home from school. I did clean my house from top to bottom so this should count for some.
W- way behind

 I am down with the funky flu. 

B: 1 bowl of instant grits w/margarine, brown sugar. 1 cup of coffee.

L:  Chicken noodle soup, 4 crackers

D: 1 sloppy joe

Vitamins: Yes

Water: Yes

 

You'll do fine with no coffee. I gave it up 4 months ago as part of my pre-op plan. The first 9 days were awful. Headache, exhaustion, etc.... , but now I don't miss it all all.

I drink decaf and that's it.

Good luck!!!!

UGH!

I think I'm in trouble! I was only drinking one cup a day...but for the past 2 weeks...upped it to 2-3 ( except for some reason I wanted tea today...)!

Things slowed down a bit...so I thought , as Elina said, that it would speed up my metabolism. But now I'm questioning it. Yikes!!! I'll be watching you Ms Shell to see how your experiment goes!

I guess I better find Keiths You Tube on it too.

Oh Crap!
