what's for fuel and fun?

GOOD MORNING, BARIATRIC BUDDIES!!!!!  WHAT'S ON THE MENU TODAY? WHAT DID YOU HAVE YESTERDAY?  WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT FUEL?  I AM HAVING MY YOGURT CONCOCTION AGAIN THIS MORNING, HAS 22 1/2 GRAMS OF PROTEIN. YESTERDAY I DIDN'T DO TO GOOD. I HAD THE YOGURT FOR BREAKFAST BUT ONLY A PROTEIN BAR FOR LUNCH AND 1 1/2 OZ OF HAMBURGER MEAT TACO.  I MADE THE MISTAKE OF GETTING THE MEAT FROM WALMART AND IT DIDN'T TASTE GOOD AT ALL.  MY FATHER LOVED THEM THOUGH. HE IS  SKIN AND BONES AND HE ATE TWO OF THEM.  I WILL BE WITH MY PARENTS UNTIL SOMETIME TOMORROW. I SURE MISS MY HUSBAND AND OTHER BABIES. I BROUGHT MY LITTLE  5 POUND YORKIE, HOMBRE.  HE KEEPS ME COMPANY. SO A LITTLE HOUSEWORK OVER HERE AT MY PARENTS HOUSE IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE, ALREADY HAVE THE SHEETS IN THE WASHER.  I WILL EAT BETTER TODAY.  LET ME KNOW HOW U ARE DOING?  SMOOCHES, VICK

I am collecting recipes pre-surgery...what is your "yogurt concoction"???

weigh****chers yogurt 1/2 package of it equals 3 oz. i use 3 oz of yogurt, put in two teaspoons of benefiber, two scoops of medical grade taste free protein (20 grs of protein), 1/2 banana, 2 small strawberries. stir real good and leave in the freezer about 45-50 minutes.  real tastey and 23 grams of protein. hope u enjoy. vick 

Hey lady...is you father getting any pain relief yet? Good for him eating 2 tacos.  Does your mom prepare meals for them or is she not able?
My hubby is skin and bones too. He lost his sense of taste and smell in the accident, so he doesn't take much interest in eating. With the depression he has been in its even worse. I told him the other day he'd better start making himself eat, or I was going to have him hospitalized so they could make sure he got his nutrition. Told him I love him too much to stand by and watch him die of malnutrition. So, he has been doing a litle better since I told him that.
I bet you do miss your hubby and dogs. I have no doubt you are looking forward to getting home.
You are such a good daughter!
Hugs!

Hey ladies! Hope everyone is keeping busy and having a great day. I'm back on protein shakes today so I feel a little better. I'm gonna have some yogurt later. One wee****il mushy foods, woo hoo!

Patrece..I'm sorry about your husband! I've struggled with depression my whole life and it is just that, a struggle. It sounds like you got thru to him at least a bit when you told him how much you love him. I'll add him to my prayer list!

Vickie, how are your parents doing? Do you go over every week to  help them out? You are such a good daughter, I'm sure they appreciate  it and you!

Ok ladies, I'm getting pretty tired today so I'm off for a nap.

i bet u can't wait for that mushy food, yummmmmmm   lol.  vick

he has some pain relief but not near enough, i wish they would put him in the hospital. he goes the the pain clinic on the 11th so hopefully that will help. mom can't really be consistent about working around the house. she cooks ever so often, like a casserole.  they mainly exist on prepackaged stuff.  i am glad you spoke up to your husband about his eating, hope it will help.vick

Great to hear from you Sukie! Definately listen to you bady right now. It knows!  Have a great nap!  I hope you get to feeling wonderful very soon!
I struggled with depression most all of my life as well. Paul never had. But he is soing through so much with having benn blinded and being in pain all the time, who wouldn't be...but ..like I told him, I love him too much to just stand by while he starves hinself!
Thanks for the prayers.
Hugs

I had chicken/veg soup when I got home from work with a protein bar.  Snack of apple and peanutbutter before I went to bed.  Got a call from the insurance guru about my surgery, see other post about that.  And am now deciding on supper.
