Menus and Miles Thursday May 26th

Wow....my menus still seem so boring compared to what everyone else eats! But this way I know that I am getting enough protein and staying away from the bad carbs. In fact....only carbs I have been having the ones from skim milk, fruit, cottage cheese, etc. I've thrown out the Ritz crackers.

B: Protein shake w/ skim milk, unjury and SF peppermint paddy syrup  40g
S:
L: green lettuce, cheese 7g
S: cottage cheese 15g
D: protein shake 40

protein: 102

Vitamins are going good...finally able to keep them all down without the tummy being upset.  Today was a great day on the scale......FINALLY HIT THE 170s!!!!  It was a long month in the 180s and I was thinking it was a stall, but weighed this monring and down two pounds to 178.2.  Yeah!!!

At 2 months out I was probably eating less than you because I couldn't do Protein drinks until I was about 8 months out.

The BEST thing you can do for yourself is to stay away from the "bad" carbs!!!!!   You will have a much easier time on maintenance!!

As long as you are satisfied and you aren't hungry or fighting wanting more food you are doing GREAT!!!

Thanks Roz.  I have really lost desire to eat...I have to force myself to get enough in which is why I am back to the shakes.  Honestly...I could care less about eating. I know it won't stay that way but I am enjoying it for now.

I also have no desire for sweets....thank you RNY!  I made my DH cupcakes for his birthday and wasn't even tempted to lick the spoon.  We have had them on the counter for a few days and I don't even look at them twice.  The only "sweet" things that look good are fresh fruit. I've ventured out and eaten about 1/4 of an apple, a few grapes and some strawberries. So far so good on the fruit, which I am happy about.  I am avoiding all processed and fast foods like the plague....excited to see my cholesterol after all of this!!

Thanks for your suggestions and inspriation!
