What are you eating /doing today (Monday)
What a gorgeous weekend. Hate to be back at work. A little sore from a bike ride yesterday. Also congested form dog hair. My dog is bad enough but my daughter's dog likes to sit on my knee and shed. Went to bed early with a head ache. I think just from the dogs. Good I went to bed early because my dog had me up at 4:00am to go outside.
Home tonight. I took out burger yesterday to make chili. It did not thaw so I was going to make it tonight. Now I have forgotten to take anything else out of the freezer so I may just use it for meatloaf. That is what I have put in the totals.
I hope to swim today.
b greek yogurt, raspberries
l pea/lentil/ham soup
s cheese string
d meatloaf, salad
s laughing cow with celery
I'm glad the nice weather is continuing today -- I'm going to meet up with my aunt to go for a walk this afternoon. Not much else planned, but I have a nutrition workshop later. I don't know what they are going to cover, so I'm curious to find out :)

I over-did it with a bike ride on Saturday. I pushed myself really hard and came home with a massive headache and this general feeling of "I am going to die". Slept the rest of Saturday and had a long nap yesterday to compensate. I feel much better today. I went to the gym and did weights and still feel well, so I think I've recovered.
I had to modify my diet a bit. The hospital dietician recommended to my post-op group class to have at least 90g of carbs per day and to get at least 14g fibre. I was getting 25g-ish of carbs per day and was no****ching fibre. My iron is also low, so I have to start taking 300mg of ferrous sulphate with 250-500mg of vitamin c, so the iron absorbs better. I'm going on the hunt for those vitamins after work today.
Previously I was eating 25g-ish of carbs per day and feeling very well.
Some others in the RNY US forum suggest that I may not need as much as 90, since this was just a general recommendation from the dietican for everyone in the class. I'm going to tweak my diet a little in the coming weeks and see how I feel.

Afternoon all. Got home at non after my exam this morning. It went quite well i must say, hope the mark reflects that. I've been studying for the next one tomorrow afternoon and i'm starting to feel overwhelmed, so i taking a mental break and decided to come here and vent. I will go to step class at 6 then boxing at 7 tonight. Need to beat something up, lol. Been feeling nauseous a lot since Friday and have popping gravol like its going out of fashion. I drink a lot of water so i know I'm not dehydrated, also very sensitive to smells lately, maybe its all the stress, will see at the end of the week after exams. Any ideas???
