What cha eating today, VSGers? - Thursday

Hi All,

Well, I'm sticking to plan again, and feeling good about myself.  I'm cooking more salmon,  Greek chicken with Kalamata olives,  Atkins Beef stroganoff and meatballs today.  I made crack slaw and chicken and broccoli au gratin yesterday.  I'm so happy when I can stick to my plan.  Its not always easy...

Breakfast - salmon

Lunch - chicken and broccoli au gratin

Snack - broccoli slaw

Dinner - crack slaw

vitamins - good

water - ok

exercise - I'm walking and keeping my fit bit steps over 5,000 every day.  Hopefully, that's enough to keep me healthy.

anything i can get my hands on today - i've eaten my breakfast, (yogurt, both my snacks and my lunch)  why do i feel so hungry?

dinner, i'm going to just go for the protein shake and call it a day.

ok, i'm doing so much better - I went for a walk at lunch instead of thinking of food.

i will still do a protein shake for dinner and I'm so glad my head is back on straight..

I'm still on pureed foods.  I am eating and drinking all day (or so it feels) in order to get close to my goals...is it always like this?

Meal 1:  20oz bottle of isopure no carb (took me over 2 hours to finish)

Meal 2:  2oz cottage cheese

Meal 3:  egg salad (1 egg + light miracle whip)

Meal 4:  2oz cottage cheese

Meal 5:  2oz canned buffalo chicken maybe with a little light ranch

W/V:  on track

Exercise: went grocery shopping and ran the bags up stairs to our apartment- must have made 15 trips!  

Tonight is a big evening for me...I've been asked to come be a speaker at a Bariatric Info session for the program that did my surgery!  Excited, humbled and very nervous!

B: Chocolate protein shake with a scoop of PB2

S: cheese stick

L: scrambled eggs and chicken sausage

S: 100 cal pack of nuts if needed

D: probably a Quest bar on the way back from the info session

W: working on it (a challenge for me!)

V: good

E: 3 1/2 mile jog/walk- we are getting some amazing weather in New England right now!  

Have a great day all!!!

This is wonderful.  I'm sure you'll do a great job communicating the process, joys and challenges of WLS.  let us know how it goes!

Hello - Greek Chicken with olives sounds amazing.  Do you have a recipe to share?

B - 2 oz shrimp with 1/2 T ****tail sauce

L - McDonald's cheeseburger, no bun. 

S - Premier Protein with double shot of espresso

S - Tuna packet with dill relish and a 1/2 T of Mayo

Vitamins - just bought mine today.  I almost passed out when I heard how expensive the bariatric advantage ones are!  I'm not complaining, was just surprised!  We are asked to do these for the first 6 months or year, I can't remember.  Took my midday one and my first calcium chew.  Wheee.

Water - okay

Exercise - about to head out for a nice walk before work!

I posted it on the recipe forum a while ago.  Here's a lnk
