Menus and Miles Monday May 6th

If I miss my Prilosec a few days I get hunger pains and food seems to get stuck.  Even at 4.5 years out I forget and need reminded.

Since you aren't drinking protein shakes, do you know how many proteins you are getting in?

I like the variety!

My goal is over 70, but I always get over 60 to 65.

I would much rather eat my protein than drink it.  I do drink 2 glasses of milk every day which adds 16 grams

Roz I see you are from Butler pa.  I am from Corry Pa which is not too far from you  I live southeast of Erie and northeast of Meadville.  I had my surgery in Cleveland.  Did you have yours in Pittsburgh?

I should have read this reply about the Protein totals before I posted on Tuesday's M&M.  I started drinking my Protein because I did not want to keep track of my totals. It made me feel like I was on Weigh****chers and dieting.   If I have my 4 Protein drinks every day I know I have hit my goal. All of my food Protein is a bonus.  I average about 160 grams every day. 

I've heard of Corry but I don't think I have ever been there.  I did have mine in Pittsburgh. 

wow that is alot of protein

High Protein works for me but everyone's different.  Do what you think is best for you and your lifestyle.

Glad to be back on track today. Too many adult beverages and not enough food yesterday, but it was fun to be out.

B Protein coffee 27g

S 1/4 sensato hot cereal 5g

S handful of almonds/ green beans, kept picking out of the pot as I was making dinner

Miles housework and walked buddy 1 mile today. Going to miss yoga, need to help hubby with the yard.

I do most of my eating out of the pot....LOL   Difference between before WLS and after is that I picked at fried potatoes, noodles, corn, etc.  Now it's boneless pork chops or some other kind of Protein.  I don't know why but it goes down a lot better when it's really hot and I'm not sitting at the table.  Maybe it's the commotion at the table or I'm talking and not chewing enough.

Sounds Good!

I had my surgery with Dr. Schauer also, but I live in Pennsylvania

Oh boy, your daughter has had a time of it. Hope all is well soon. It is not uncommon when you are fighting an infection the lymph nodes swell and can hurt too.

Will continue to keep her in my prayers.

I'm not really sure (and she isn't either) that she even has the shingles.  She only has 1 sore spot on her scalp that even reacted like the description of shingles.  He said the spots under her ears were a rash but now that they are swelled  agree with her and I think they are lymph nodes.
