What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

P.S. some of the reviewers said to heat the tortillas on a pan (like a frying pan or grill pan) rather than microwave them, so that's what I did...

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday! JB, your drive does not sound like fun; hopefully, it won't be too bad and maybe the rain will keep people off the roads? I know that's unlikely!

QOTD - hate sticky hands!

Update on me, spent most of yesterday at the local hospital and I met a surgeon that doesn't jump straight to surgery - yay! He agrees that I have a bile stricture but thinks that my issue on Thursday was probably because of a stone passing through one of the ducts (made worse by the stricture) and since the pain has lessened thinks that monitor and manage is ok for now. If I don't have any more episodes by the weekend and no fever, all travel restrictions are lifted and they'll continue to monitor my liver functions -- he says there could be something liver related or it could just be irritated due to the blockage. Also said that even though endoscopic is harder with the re-arranged guts, he would go that route first before moving to percutaneous or open surgery -- so that's a relief too. Apparently, to get to our bile ducts they have to go a long route into to liver bu there are "climbing balloons" that make it possible...what he described sounded like balloon inchworms, lol.

I'm headed to the office as soon as I finish this update and I've had coffee X 2 with SF pumpkin syrup and half and half; my third is in the to go cup. I also have some tea and an emergen-c for later today -- I usually take an emergenC every day I travel as well as the day before and after and being at the hospital with the sick people, I'm treating it the same way. I'm convinced it's more psychological than medical but hey, the placebo effect is a thing!

Eats going to the office with me will be:

3 oz ever roast deli chicken, .8 oz sharp cheddar, 3 pickle slices

1 cheese stick

Carbmaster cottage cheese

Ellie Quark

Not sure about dinner/snack, depends on hunger when I get home

Have a terrific Tuesday everyone!

Glad to hear you have some answers and peace of mind?

I am impressed with a surgeon who does not want to go straight to surgery. I hope everything will be fine now.

Sounds complicated but glad you got some answers. Sending you healthy vibes.

Your surgeon sounds like he knows what he's doing. Glad he is putting off any surgery at this time. I'll pray it stays at bay so it doesn't need to happen in the future either. Lots of prays.

It sounds like you have a great surgeon. I am glad things seem to be working out well.

I'm glad things are working out well for you!

Sounds like the best outcome! I am glad you are in good hands :)

Good morning menu friends! Miss Lily and I have our first long walk in and will do 2 more later today-a short one at lunch and another long one right after work whether I feel like it or not! Yesterday I did not but did it anyway. Go me! Moved way too many heavy boxes yesterday and very stiff and achy today. QOTD no way. Accountability was perfect yesterday both food and stepwise and weight is 121 today. Here's the eats B 2 protein pancakes with sugar free syrup L 4 oz seafood salad D 4 oz turkey meatballs S probably nothing. Have a great day full of smart and healthy choices!
