Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood

O.k. I have an appt with my surgeon on Wednesday, all is well with the healing my big incision that was giving me some worries is closed up now, now the only issue is that my skin is all irritated from the tape from the dressing I was putting on it. So tomorrow I have to get back on the  I'm talking 3 healthy meals, and an evening snack and that's it. I HAVE to be at my pre-Hen Jr.ectomy weight....and I can't blame my legs, because she gave me lasix to take and I did not...lasix is actually not good for LE patients, it's lymph fluid no****er...so lasix does nada. I am also cutting off the Diet Sunkist Wednesday morning and water loading so that I am all good and hydrated for my flight home (to Ohio) on Friday. I have also decided to go ahead and pack a little since I'm not currently wearing any of the clothes that I will be taking home. So my day: B: 2 pieces of french toast made with egg beaters and honey flax bread w/ ketchup (don't ask, it's a family thing and it wasn't cinnamon or sweet french toast, just eggs and bread) S: Mixed fruit cup L: 1 tuna burger S: handful of buffalo peanuts, handful of dried fruit mix D: Tuna burger, spinach salad with sun dried tomato dressing S: pizza rolls and homemade banana bread w/ skim milk (had to get the last of the PRs out of the house so I can do better for the week)

Hi Sarah, I'm not sure I've ever had Sweat French Toast, doesn't sound too appetizing, but at least you didn't eat it!  LOL... Doris :o)
