What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Good Morning all!  Did everyone enjoy the weekend and make good choices at their respective Super Bowl gatherings?  I went off the rails a little food-wise (mmm...pizza), but still had a great time!  Which is way better than Friday morning, where I had to pull over on the way to work because I was either having a panic attack (unlikely) or an episode of reactive hypoglycemia.  I was all shaky and my heart was pounding...scary.  I usually don't eat anything before I leave the house, but I was up early with the husband and we split a donut and OJ.  I'm pretty sure that's not going to be happening again anytime soon.

Time since surgery:  18 1/2 months

B:  coffee, Friendship Fit to Go cottage cheese and salt and pepper pork rinds

S:  Click Mocha

L:  shrimp ****tail and 34 degree crackers

D:  leftover pepperoncini venison roast with gnocchi

This is my favrite forum to read,,,only one problem,,i am only 9 weeks post op and can not eat this stuff yet,,,I get jealous..lol...but still my favorite reading...

What stage are you on? I think I was on a regular diet my 9 weeks- but I forget.

Back to liquids,,,everytime I have that Freak in balloon go down my esophagus, they put me back to liquids...

I started posting here the day I came home from the hospital. It's about doing your planning and staying honest, no matter where you are in the process! 

Good Morning!

I had a really good weekend! My husband surprised me with a date Saturday morning for Valentines as we have two birthday kid birthday parties next weekend. We went to a glass blowing class, made a flower and a paperweight; and then went to lunch at a restaurant we wouldn't want to take the kids to. I also went shopping to pick up some things for our cruise. Holy moly, now that I am able to shop in the "normal" section I got some awesome clearance deals! I also bought a pair of capris that were a size 12 - woo!!!

Morning! Despite how it made you feel I'm jealous of your 1/2 donut and OJ. I LOVED OJ pre-op, it was my coffee. Oh how I miss it. If I drink any now I water it down by half so it doesn't tempt me nearly as much to guzzle more and more. 

My hubby did his Superbowl eats, I only ate two of his shrimp (BTW, I HATE unpeeled shrimp-- I refer to them as sea roaches- cause that what they look like). He had hoagies, crab legs, shrimp and rib tips. Ate him himself silly so we couldn't even get in our 1/2 time action we were planning on .

My menu today is light because I haven;t really cooked-- I'll be making the things I'vve been planning on all weekend (chicken sausage & quesadillas) tonight. 

Time since surgery: 9 months

M1: 1.7oz ham, 1/2c egg beaters, sprinkle colby jack cheese

M2: Yogurt/1/2 Pumpkin flax granola

M3: 1.7oz ham/turkey lunch meat/cheese stick & 34g cashews

M4:  Chicken Sausage or quesadillas filling

Apparently, not working and being on the East coast lend to the latent early riser in me. 

I did fine this weekend, not a big football person and not a big football food person. 

I made it to Atlanta without my scale. I have been thinking of it fondly and am looking forward to weighing Friday but haven't had more than some minor heart flutters over not having it. 

What I did bring was a small arsenal of groceries. I didn't want this week to derail me or be all about food. I want to lose another 15 pounds by my one year and that is 8 eeeks away. 

Have my gall bladder surgery scheduled but am considering canceling. I am going to call my surgeon and see if he feels it is mandatory or manageable. I have not had a true attack since it all started and am really loathe to have another surgery. I will defer to his professional judgment but want to ask. 

Today is hubby's birthday so I am trying to be smart without being neurotic... We will see if neurotic takes over. 

Eggs and bacon. Berries

Canned chicken w/ 1/3 c of plain greek yogurt

Rest of yogurt and half a scoop of protein powder

I might remove the yogurt /powder depending in hubbys plans but we will probably end up at a steak joint so I will have some of his steak and a side of shrimp. 

Ooops. My planned stats are cals 538 protein 66 carbs 18 fat 21

I asked my surgeon the same question.  He told me I could cancel, but it was like playing russian roulette.  His feeling was I needed the surgery and i might as well have it done on my terms rather than after a gallbladder attack lands me in the ER with an emergency surgery.  Just thought I'd share my experience
