What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?
good morning everyone!
Last week was definitely a crazy week but I think this week we'll start to settle into the new routine.
DH is doing great...Much better than I did the first week post-op! I was getting in about 40-50 oz of water and barely 20-30g protein, I just couldn't handle it...but he is tolerating the protein shakes perfectly and has not had any issues. Just still sore and tired.
He was not up for an hour long car trip to my brother's house on Sunday so Story and I went by ourselves and met the rest of the immediate family there for brunch. My dad, brother and Brother-in-law cooked up omelettes for everyone and we all visited for a couple hours with the little ones.
got a great picture with all the moms and kids and the 2 grandma's which I will post here. It was crazy to me to look at this photo at first, realizing that I no longer stick out like a sore thumb in group photos being so much bigger than everyone else...It's nice to see.
QOTD: ever since I was about 7 years old, I wanted nothing more than to be a mermaid. I wanted to be able to grow a tail in the water like the mermaid in the movie Splash. Of course that wouldn't happen but the next best thing would be a wearable mermaid tail that I could swim in the pool with. I would've done anything for one...now they are everywhere! my childhood dream is a reality! of course I am still a bit too big to fit in one but I don't care how ridiculous I look, I am getting a damn mermaid tail when I get to my goal weight!
Morning: coffee w/half caramel PP
B: crab salad w/bacon and peas
L: cheesy chicken enchilada soup
S: greek 100 protein yogurt
D: not sure yet--will eat at mom's again.
have a great day everyone!
