Eatin' Good In The 20's Neighborhood - Sunday's Menu

I didn't do as well today, I didn't have my first meal until 1:00 PM and didn't feel much like playing catch up. The good thing is I still got in plenty of protein and not too many carbs. Totals for the day 884 calories, 33 g of fat, 46 g of carbs, 96 g of protein, and 64 0z of water - overall not too bad just one meal shy on the calorie count.... AM - coffee AM - some more coffee lunch - leftover chicken fajita (no tortilla) 1/2 cup and 1 tbls shredded colby jack, 1/2 cup of leftover pasta salad snack - some baked pita chips, a piece of lowfat provolone cheese, and two tiny slim jim snacks (they were greasy and gross - I need to get some real jerky for my roadtrip) dinner - another cup of leftover fajitas with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese snack -two scoops of chocolate protein blended with 16 oz of water and some decaf coffee crystals How did everybody else do? How were your tube shakes Amy? Are you gaining any of the weight that you need back?

Ok i did SO BAD yesterday.  I'm telling you weekends SUCK for me. Gahhh i needed someone to slap me! It's not that i ate crap, because i didn't. It's that i hardly ate anything! B- 2 sausage links and like 3 bites of egg (12p?) S- 1/4 cup of soy nuts  and vitamin (11p) .... ..... ......... D- 3 oz of chicken salad and 1/4 of a SB diet tortilla (21p)] So i probably had about 500 calories, 43 grams of protein and not a lot of anything else Water: 32 oz and 12 oz of tea.  I think i did so poorly because i had that date and i was nervous/getting ready for that and then we met at 3 and hung out until 8 and we didn't eat and obviously food was the last thing on my mind.  BAD ALEX! Today is better! The week is always fine, it's these damn weekends!

Hey Mike, Everyone has their days - but you really made up for it with the rest of the day. Tube shakes are getting old but I'll keep doing them for as long as it takes.  The number of shakes that I've consumed the past week are more protien shakes than I have had since my surgery all combined.  I loathe protien shakes, not that they aren't good for people or I think the are a bad choice, I just HATE the taste and texture of them.  So at least I don't have to taste them.  Unfortunately I lost another 2.5 pounds over the weekend brining my total loss to 21.5 pounds in 12 days.  I go back to the doc tomorrow and I'm not sure if he's going to decide to hospitalize me or not.  Hopefully not since I was able to keep down 3 oz of chicken fajita stuffing (great minds think alike I guess - it must have been chicken fajita day) yesterday by mouth.  I haven't had as much luck today with food orally (just tried some yogurt with kashi cereal stirred in and I only got about 3 bites down before the pain got to be crippling - that is the problem and why I can't eat by mouth.  I eat and then it feels like someone is ripping my guts out and the pain makes me sick to my stomach so I throw up and avoid eating.)  But I've already had 6 oz of an atkins protien shake via tube so at least I'm trying.   I hope your food day is going better today!  Keep it up with fitday!

Sunday was kinda odd because we spent so much of the day with our friends.  For breakfast I had a protein shake, for lunch i had a turkey sandwhich and some carrots.  then for dinner my best friend michelle and I made lasanga garlic bread and salad. My sunday was spiffy.  My husband and Dan (Michelle's hubby) and Dylan (her son) went out 4 wheeling at this old rock quary that is near her house, that they have turned into an RV area.  Its hard to explain, all I know is its filled with testosterone, mud and big vehicles. HAHA :) But us ladies visited and did dinner while they were out.  It was a really good day with our friends.  They are a big part of my support post-op.
