I got a private message from someone asking if anyone can post on the menu thread, so I just thought I would start off the post today to say: YES! This is not a private club! I think it is great to hear from people in all stages--pre-op, post-op and vets. It is valuable to help stay on track, and valuable to get ideas from others. So I hope lots of people will post today! Welcome to any newbies!

Yesterday, I realized just how much last week kicked my butt. I am generally not a napper, but I really am not kidding when I tell you that I took about 6 small naps, then I fell asleep in the middle of Ghostbusters and never woke up. And then I slept late again this morning. Yikes. So, sorry, Ms Schwab, I can't really give an accurate movie review... ;)

QOTD: Do you work? What is your job like? Can you leave it there, or do you take work home with you? I generally keep work at work, except for emails and emergencies, but today I have a pile in front of me that I must get done. I like what I do, so I'm not too annoyed, but I do wish I could have another day of napping and not face it! One more week of craziness for me, then I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just in time for a visit from Daisy! Yay! 

...1 year post op next week, and today I'm within my maintenance goal of 113 - 118 at 116...

8am: Fit Frappe Spiced Chai Protein Latte (mmmm!)

11am: Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt with 1/2 scoop of Syntrax Mint Cookie  

2pm: Forte High Protein Gelato

5pm: Almonds and Cheese Stick 

8pm: Coconut Breaded Chicken Tenders

Have a great day!

What is the brand name of the brownie protein bars you eat and where do you get them?  Thank you.

They are mission 1 protein bars and I get them at Walmart. I like them because they have no sugar alcohols like most bars and the sugar alcohols tend to make me bloated. I use them only at bedtime as an easy bedtime snack to keep my sugar from tanking overnight. They come in 3 flavors: brownie,chocolate chip cookie and cookies and cream.

Thank you.  I will look for them, but maybe when I'm a little further out.  Right now I'm only 6 weeks post op as of today.  Progress, not perfection.

I just got some of these last night after remembering your post. I think the zero sugar alcohols made it sit better in my tummy. I liked them, but did not "love" them. I will be sticking to these, though, because the ones I love tend to make me want them more- like candy bars. These will just be my emergency bars when I do not have time to eat. Thanks for sharing!!
