What's on your menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?

Great pics Daisy!

Feeling pretty darn good today! I've gone from a 5x shirt to wearing a 3x today! Yaaay!

QOTD: I would open a super recreational facility for people with Intellectual Disabilities. It would also be very animal friendly!

B: 2eggs, turkey breakfast sausage, 1/2 slice of cheese.

The rest of the is up in the air but it will be protein.

Enjoy the rest of your day everybody!

Congrats Chris, what a huge NSV for you! A 5x to a 3x is awesome! I knew you would be a rockstar at this, keep up the great work my friend, so proud of you!

Thank you Daisy! Right back at ya!

Hi Daisy and menu friends!

Arun is more than an amateur photog - he's got talent! Your house looks amazing. I have one potted plant but it's droopy so no pics. This is a good reminder to water it today, however!

It's hot and humid here, but rain is coming tonight and will make for a temperate and beautiful weekend. We always have the kids on the weekend, but we are not getting them until tomorrow, so tonight is "date night". We are going to Annapolis which is a beautiful town on the water. We are going to Ruth's Chris since my BF loves loves loves their steaks and their cheesecake. I will get the shrimp and have some cheesecake too :)

Time Since Surgery: 3.5 years

B: 4 oz egg salad with pretzel crisps

L: Two AmyLu Andouille chicken sausage with dijon mustard. SO happy Costco had these! And cucumber salad

D: Shrimp appetizer, cheesecake

E: Gym this afternoon

V: Patches are on! I have a new PCP so I will have a physical soon to see if the patches are working for me!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. Enjoy auntie time and the extra day off, Daisy!!!

I need some egg salad in my life... it's been too long. Thanks for the reminder! Yum!

I hadn't had it in FOREVER, but I had no breakfast two days ago so I boiled up some eggs. I mix them with some yellow mustard, mayo, salt and pepper. And then I add a liberal amount of cayenne pepper (dry spice) on top. YUM.

I add sugar free sweet pickles chopped up to mine... there's a bit of cayenne on top, instead of paprika!

I like a little spice, but I'd not call it 'liberal'...

Oh, and sometimes I add celery too, but I have to chop it up TEENY TINY!

OK... I think I might be making it for lunch today! I have celery and sweet pickles in the fridge!

I had an appt with my surgeon on Wednesday to go over my labs. I was his test subject and was on patches for 3 months prior to labs being drawn. He was thrilled with my results. My ferritin climbed 50ish points and everything is perfect. We looked at a graph of all my labs since the beginning of time in his practice and everything is on the high side of normal which he loves. While I was there he pulled out his phone and sent an email to his staff telling them they're free to recommend patches. can't wait to hear what your results are.

Are you using the iron patch? My ferritin has progressively gone lower but still 'normal'...I originally was at over 100 now I'm at 36. I take the multi patch and the calcium patch... but a chewable iron.

Yep. Iron patch. My ferritin went down to 137.66 after my revision. It's now back over 210.
