A new location is in the process, stay tuned!

My first breakfast. 3 cracks with turkey and cheese, and a slice of Arnold's double protein bread with peter pan whipped peanut butter and reduced sugar grape jelly

second breakfast will be 6oz Chobani plain greek yogurt, 2oz Bearnaked Granola and splenda.

Now.....you got me wondering....my total cholestrol is in the 70's.  My triglicerides are almost non existant.  I stumped the work doctor.....he told me by BMI was still too high and I needed to lose weight.....but my triglicerides (I know I am not spelling this right) are way to low and I needed to add fat.  He said to me....Go see your family doctor....I dont know what to tell you to do.  At that time, my protein levels and iron levels were really low also.

I went into menopause in January and my protein and iron levels went back to the normal range. Now I only take one iron pill...instead of 3. So I am thinking it is safe to go back to a healthy diet of lower calories, high in protein with lots of fresh fruits and veggies. 

My thought is what ever keeps you healthy and works is good for you.  If I eat anything high in fat and sugar, I get really sick.  But maybe my deficiencies are related to this.  Looks like  will be doing another trip to Vitamin Shoppe and more reseearch.

need to get back on track...any group meetings in wilmington or neward???]

thanks

Sorry - I didn't mean to gross you out either!

Please bear in mind that I had the DS and not the RNY.  That's a really good breakfast for a DSer (minus the second slice of toast with jam - that's a questionable choice, as the jam is all simple sugars) as it's all protein, fat, and complex carbs, with protein and fat being almost in equal amounts.  That's actually a "diet" breakfast, since the DS malabsorption will remove 80% of the fat (and fat calories), 40% of the protein (and protein calories), and up to 40% of the complex carb calories (depending on who you believe.  Personally, I don't count on any of the carb calories being malabsorbed, but there are those that do.).  It's pretty low-cal if you count it up and factor in the malabsorption. 

And, far from putting on weight, I've been maintaining my lowest post-surgical weight for some time now.  Joanne has seen me in person.  I'm not fat.
