You're doing great Sunny. Pedal to the metal until you reach goal.

Had my 6 month appointment - seems I'm doing well according to their expectations - down 90 pounds and staying on track. Still struggling to meet my protein goal without resorting to protein shake/bar - maybe small goal of trying to only need 1/2 of either and then get to none...we will see (I just hate reading the ingredients on these things!); I just can't make everything I eat a protein choice,not willing to give up some fruit or carb. Maybe I'll try every other day carb free or something like that...ideas?
Question - what recipe do you use for Cabbage Roll Soup? I love cabbage rolls (indulged in 2 over Easter Weekend as I'm 1/2 Ukrainian)
My food for today:
B: PC Protein pancakes with sugar free jam
S: sugar free yogurt
L: coleslaw with 1/2 cup diced roast chicken & small orange
S: sugar free pudding
D: 1/2 Protein wrap with 1/2 cup diced roast chicken/mayo/lettuce
S: Protein Shake
Enjoyed 3 walks today - goal to use my 1/2 lunch as a walking break and then can eat as I work - since I still take 1/2 hour to eat a meal.
Anyhow, feel positive and optimistic I will meet my goal weight by 1 year mark!

You should probably make an appt with your GP or call your clinic.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
HUH?

Hello! I am going to try to get back on to the daily food threads again, it's been so long! Typical day today, kids off to school, rush in to the office, work work work, rush home, and hopefully some good family time before crashing into bed :) Last night I went to the Cher concert here in Ottawa, and I am a little tuckered out from that :)
QOTD: I love birdsong. I do have a funny memory when I was a kid, summer after summer a bird would stay somewhere outside my house, and he had a funny song that sounded EXACTLY like he was repeating my 2 syllable name over and over. And over. AND OVER. I used to get so annoyed (but also loved it).
B: Protein bar which I hate and never have but we need groceries and I was desperate :)
L: chicken drumsticks with the skin yanked off (yuk, am I the only one who's grossed up by chicken skin texture?) and grilled mixed veggies
D: not sure yet. We have a lot of leftovers, maybe some kind of steak and grilled veggie (sandwich for family, bowl for me).
S: some icelandic yoghurt and sugarless jam I think. Or a Skyr 'icecream' bar.
Exercise: Got a new bike, might cautiously take it for a quick spin tonight
Goddess in training...
Its one of my favorite soups....hearty and filling yet not fattening.
Cruisin' NICE I'll be getting out for my lunch time walk soon.
Having one of those crazy days at work....didn't I say earlier not much on the go? Sshhhhhh JINXY!

I would keep calling until I get someone who listens. I called a lot. I was super courteous and diplomatic every time in an effort to not **** them off. Some times they would blow me off, other times I just called at the right time and got my appt and actual surgery moved up. I swear I saved myself at least 6 months by doing so.
Be patient but continue to advocate for yourself. Once you get your appt dates, you will have more leverage to start calling for cancellations.
All the best!

Ginny you make me laugh. Your menu looks yummy. Cabbage roll soup sounds so good.
More errands and paperwork today. I can hardly contain my elation. DH and I might go cruise the main drag with the top town. It's what all the old folks like to do and meet up at the A&W for a root beer float, lol. Seriously this afternoon is supposed to be warm and sunny, and then in a few days we are getting snow - enough already.
The eats today at 4 years 9 months post-op are:
B. Coffee, and then a SF/LC cinnamon roll that I didn't eat over the holidays.
L. I'm going to Costco so I will eat all of the meat, cheese, yogurt samples.
D. Burger with bacon and a small salad
S. Cocoa before bed.
Have a great day everyone.
