Linda,
I was looking at your day of eating----wow!  How much protein are you getting?  I feel like a pig compared to what you are eating.  I am 3 1/2 months post op RNY, and I seriously eat a significantly larger amount than you do.  I have never veered off of the food lists, nor have I "cheated" in any way, but I certainly have never had supper be "skim milk".  I have lost 53 pounds since surgery (July 8, 2008), for which I'm thrilled.  However, I must ask you----do you eat these small amounts because if you eat more, you gain???  When was your surgery, if you dont mind me asking.  I guess I'm looking to my future and wondering.................

Thanks much!

I had surgery in July of 2007.  I completely stopped losing at six months out -- January of 2008.  Trust me, I can usually eat lots more than I did today, but for some reason, I haven't felt much like eating lately.  I've been having more protein shakes, etc., because I'm not feeling like eating.  My doc said he expected me to lose another 20-30 pounds this year -- I lost 80 in the six months.  Maybe that will start happening now.  Oh - let's see - I had about 60 grams of protein today.  I usually try for more like 100, but I just didn't get there today.

EDITED -- PS:  I forgot to say that I have 3 severely blown discs in my back and will be having surgery next month.  Till after that, I can't really exercise, so yes, if I eat much more than this I WILL gain weight.  I've had to be pretty careful to keep my weight steady over the last several months.

Hi Charlie! Glad you're having such a great time. Shopping and eating, what could be better?

Anyway...

B:  Hot Click
L:  Chicken salad, cheese, and a little mayo on one slice of white toast
S:  A few light Pringles, a few candy corns
D:  About one cup of homemade chili, 6 thin Cabaret crackers
S:  Mini-bag of Kettle Korn popcorn

Got a nice mountain bike ride in today. Getting cooler here, but still had sunshine and it was a beautiful day.

I haven't been really keeping track of calories or protein, just trying to eat what I'm supposed to and eat protein first. I went to the Daily Plate and plugged in what I ate today...I was pleasantly surprised. Between 700-800 calories and nearly 60 grams of protein. A little high in carbohydrates due to the chili and the slice of bread, but chili beans are a great source of protein so I guess those are "good" carbs. That web site is a great place to stay accountable.

Have a great week!

Hi Charlie! Glad to hear that you had a great day with Kathy.  I tried to hold out until the post before going to bed but I couldn't stay awake so I'm posting now at work.

I ate way too much Sunday....felt like a bottomless pit....blame all the beer I had Saturday night on throwing me off track.

Oh well, for Sunday.....

Hey Buddy!
Goin' home? As in the contracts over? 

Let me get in on this

B: Oatmeal

L: Jenny Craig Pizza

D: JC Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

S: JC Cheese Curls..........

Getting the pattern here?

Hey Sweets....nah, not for good.  I go home for 5 days, fly to LA, wow them with my Halloween costume, fly back to Chicago for another 3 week stint (I think) then its home for good.  I have a feeling they are going to ask me to work through the holiday season.....AT&T and the Union's contract up here will end in April....if they strike.....it will shut down the project.....but I do NOT want to do it.  And probably won't.  I just hate to turn down the money.

I pretty much had that same eating pattern yesterday....only thing stopping me from getting 2 HUGE chocolate covered strawberries instead of one, was the price....$7.50.  Holy crap.  For 2 friggin strawberries with 8 cents worth of chocolate.

See ya......

Hugs
