What's on Your (photo) Friday Menu, RNYers?

Good Morning and Welcome to Photo Friday!  Post 'em if ya got 'em!  And hey, let's hear those ideas for May's Photo Theme Day!  We've had dress up and flashback so far...what else can we do?  Kids?  Pets?  I think we'll designate May 13 as the date.  What say you all?

So, as promised, here's my new do.  I'm still working on trying to figure out how to style it, but you get the general idea.  And remember, 7am flip phone quality photos do not do me justice.  LMAO

 

                                                               

 

                                                                              

 

QOTD!  In keeping with our Photo Friday tradition, what's the last thing you took a picture of?  Obvs, I just took the above selfie, but let's leave those out of it.  Looking in my phone, prior to this morning the last picture I took was of my son in the pool at the Y; he was doing pull-ups on the starting block at the end of every lap.  He's a beast.  LOL

QOTD: last photo I took was a one-month progress photo. 

carbs are high b/c of cereal, but I eat that every other morning so it's OK? what do you guys think?

While I REALLY LOVE cereal, I try to stay away from high carb foods like it. The most carbs i get are from yogurt (carbmaster or triple zero) which are pretty low.

Also- your bbq sauce generally can get really high in sugar also.

Just a thought.

I took out the bbq sauce.  looks like it's going to save me 10g of carbs.  

I added the cereal for fibre because I was having terrible constipation (warning: tmi at the end of this sentence, but added for emphasis of importance of problem) and bleeding when I do go.

I add berries the other days, so I thought one day cereal, one day berries for variety.  I'm thinking of switching to plain oatmeal.  My cereal has some added sugar in it.

have you considered adding 1/2 cap of miralax to coffee instead? That is what I do based on dr feedback. I was having the same issue. then  I don't have to deal with all the carbs.

I HAVE to have 1 cap of Miralax EVERY DAY to keep "going".  It works for me, maybe you could try?

I also do a cap of miralax every evening with a cup of tea. 

My surgeon has instructed me to drink metamucil every day.  It's gross, but gets the job done.  Miralax wasn't cutting it for me

Oh I remember now.  One of the nurses at the hospital recommended this.  Thank you.

I eat steel cut oats every morning but did not add them until I got to maintenance. I found that I was horribly constipated so I added them in for the fiber. The problem with high carb foods is they can cause you to crave other carbs. If I find myself craving other carbs my oats will be gone in a flash too.
