What's on your menu today, RNY-ers?

Hola everyone!  Short post today - work is insane - but as you know, this post keeps me accountable and I love to see what you guys are eating!

B: One hard-boiled egg.  I had two yesterday (my plan calls for 3 meals and no snacks so I have to try to pack in protein) but it made me full, and one was a much better choice for me.

L: Leftover shirataki noodles (less than 1/3 a cup) with an al fresco jalapeño chicken sausage, prepared with garlic and a touch of olive oil and a tbsp of parmesan cheese

D: Leftover chicken and shrimp fajitas from last night (one plate at a restaurant is 4 meals) consisting of shrimp, chicken, cheese, onions and a dollop of sour cream

S: I have to have a cavity filled at 4:15 and then I have Zumba at 5:30 so I may see if I can chew a string cheese on the other side of my mouth before class so I don't pass out lol

E: Zumba (my first time at my gym - I hope no one laughs at me!)

W: 40 oz. in already.  I always get 70+ ounces :)

V: Ugh.  I cannot wait until I finish my calcium citrate "petites".  I gag.  Gonna try putting Upcal-D in my drinks once I get through this bottle.

P.S. If someone can PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me figure out how to post a pic in the forum, I would owe you forever.  I contacted member services and their solution does not work. I go into My Photos, I right click on the photo (I even tried highlighting it) and I don't get the menu that says copy, I get one that gives me the option to copy image.  Then when I try to paste it in the forum, it pastes the name of the pic (.jpg).  It is SO frustrating.  Thank you!!!

Three meals a day with no snacks must be so hard!!!  That's actually what my surgeon recommeded too, but I couldn't do it.  I can only eat a small amount at a time (especially early out - even now, though with dense protein) and I would never meet my calorie or protein requirements if I didn't have snacks.  My blood sugar also tends to drop if I don't eat at least every 3 hours and I feel horrible.  I just have to be diligent with keeping track of what I eat and NOT graze, which I don't.  I plan every meal and snack (as much as possible).

B: Premier chocolate Protein shake

L: garlic, spinach, chicken sausage

S: 2 tbs peanut butter

D: not sure yet - going out

S: Dannon L&F greek yogurt

I do wonder, as I see that 99% of the people on here do 3 small meals and 2 snacks.  In order to make protein, I normally have to have one snack.  I am worried about "normalizing" two snacks and watching calories creep up.  I think I need to play it by ear each day.  Why do plans vary so damn much?!  I love chicken sausage - which is your favorite?  I love one that I can only get at Costco, so I generally have some from Trader Joe's or Harris Teeter.

Hey DcGirl!!!

It took me awhile to figure out how to post my pics on threads. What you need to do is have two tabs or two windows open with OH, then you go into your pic album, right click to copy, go into your second tab or window to paste it in your thread.

Thanks, Kenyatta!  That's totally convoluted but not surprising, given the structure of this site lol!  You must share your bacon wrapped chicken recipe.  It sounds freaking amazing!

Bacon wrapped chicken are so delish!!!! I had made mines spicy like buffalo chicken wings but you can add any spices you like to it. I actually got the recipe off of www.skinnytaste.com and the low fat blue cheese dressing recipe as well.

10 center cut REGULAR bacon (don't be affraid of pork LOL) cut in thirds (30 pieces)

Toothpicks

Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around the chicken breast cutlet and secure it with a toothpick. Once all breast cutlets are wrapped with

Turn oven to 375 ( I also used my broiler once done baking to add crisp and a darker color to bacon) bake for 22 -25 mins
