Topic: RE: What did you eat today for breakfast.....just wondering
Nope, that was breakfast. I'm sorry if it nauseated you! That wasn't my intent.
Remember, I didn't have an RNY. I had a DS, and my nutritional requirements and eating patterns are going to be vastly different than yours. A low-fat diet would lead to serious vitamin deficiencies for me, so I make sure to eat foods that contain fat during the day - both saturated and unsaturated. My total cholesterol is 94, and has been under 100 for almost the last 4 years (since my 3-month post-op visit) - imagine if I ate low-fat! I wouldn't be able to absorb any of my A, D, E, or K vitamins!
For me, the only questionable choice on yesterday's breakfast menu was the extra slice of toast with jam.

I was thinking the same thing. It has been since 12/2004 for my surgery....and while I admit, I can eat a lot more food than I could in the beginning.....if I ate that breakfast.....I wouldn't feel good and would wind up in the bathroom....plus I would be putting on the pounds.

I love Trader Joes' also. Haven't tried the complete protein bread yet. I usually get the their whole grain bread. I think my bread has 5 or 6 grams of protein.

We go to Capelli's at Fox Run Shopping Plaza.
My son loves the water ice there and in the summer I can afford to take the kids there daily.
The small is just the right size and for a buck, you can't beat it!

You ARE joking about having all the food mentioned above, right (except for the DD breakfast sandwich)?
Just reading it made me nauseated. LOL

Topic: RE: what did you have for lunch today
Today I had a half a turkey sandwich on Complete Protein bread (both bought at Trader Joe's....I LOVE Trader Joe's!!!!), with sliced onion and cucumber and 1 tsp of Sweet Hot mustard and 5 baby heirloom tomatoes as a "side dish".
Topic: RE: I am going to see Ringo Starr on Tuesday
Ringo was awesome. He performed with his All Star Band....Edgar Winter,Gary Wright, Richard Page, Wally Palmer, Rick Derringer and Gregg Bissonette. He performed all of his hits plus let his band mates play their hit songs.
It was a great concert. Ringo looked great....so hard to believe that he turns 70 years old today. It was nice that he is finally getting the recognition that he deserves. I think people never gave him a thought when he was with the Beatles.
