WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Happy Over the hump day!! Having a late lunch or none at all because I have a Drs. Appt. this afternoon. I hope I don't get behind in my Protein.

8+ years out

Post Op RNY 16 mos tomorrow

Good morning! Up and ready for the gym. Wednesday is our pool day. I would have loved to roll over and sleep a little longer.

B - 1 egg, 1/4 cup egg white omelet with peppers/onion/15 gr tex mex cheddar

S - oikos greek yogurt - key lime

L - taco salad, 4 oz ground beef on lettuce and cukes, catalina, tex mex, sour cream

S - 6 slices thin sliced deli turkey with 1 slice marble cheddar

D - TBD

Totals so far - Cal 776, Carbs 34 protein 77

Have a good day everyone.

That's great you are still going to the gym. I never started exercising because I knew I'd never keep up with it.

Looks good but Hope you got more Protein in.

4 mo post RNY

B-Premier Protein 30g bar

MS- rest of above

L- Tuna Packet

AS- rest of above

D- Beef Brisket and 4 oz craft beer

ES- Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate shake

Total Calories: 818 Protein: 98 Carbs: 36 Sugar: 9 Fat: 29

Exercise: 30 minute swim for sure... 2 mile run if I can get it in!

We have an after-work event tonight at a local bar. I'm going to have a "half pour" which is actually 4 oz of beer. I love love love craft beer but thanks to my RNY just an ounce or two will do it for me. I looked up the food trucks that will be there and I can get a 4 oz serving of beef brisket which is a good option! My plan is to go, buy my team a round of drinks, play some ten pin bowling (it's the theme of the bar) then head to the gym by 7pm. Swim then go home and mow the tiny yard! If after mowing it's not too dark, I'll go for a run. I have been prioritizing my exercise over keeping up the house and I now have a hay field for a yard!

Yesterday I had dinner with friends at my house. I smoked a whole filet of salmon and it was delicious! Unfortunately I had a slice of whole grain bread dipped in EVOL while we waited for dinner to be ready. The bread was a sprouted grain type so it didn't raise my total carbs over 30 so I really don't think it was an issue, other than the additional calories? Thoughts?

The 4 oz. of beer would make it a two days in a row alcohol thing which means I'll have maxed out my drinks for the week. I'm OK with that, even knowing that as it's beer I will likely drink less than half of my third of a serving. I love that post RNY I can enjoy the taste of beer and feel totally happy with just a sip or two. I hope this lasts forever! Cheapest date ever!

I'm probably the cheapest date - I drink water...LOL. I'm glad you are able to enjoy your drinks/food and still stay on track. I've said from the beginning that I'm going to enjoy what I like to eat because this is not a diet and I'm going to be doing this the rest of my life. It's work for me. I honestly think it's the over eating and taking those extra bites that gets us in trouble.

Good Attitude!

How's the mini MGB Surgery working for you? I don't know any one else who has had it. Do you still dump if you eat to much food or sugar? How much have you lost since April?

Do you feel restriction?

I was wondering about this for my daughter. What BMI did you start with?

Good Job on the Protein!!
