Whatcha Eating Today EveryOne?

Hi ya', WETEO peeps! Welcome, newbies!

After a restless night of no sleep and weird, vivid dreams, I worked at my parents' house today. Afterwards, Hubs and I visited with a friend who had her thighs done yesterday. She is an amazing woman; she was already walking out to the end of her driveway and she looks fabulous. She is so funny; she said she could either remodel her kitchen or remodel herself; and she choose herself. This is probably her final PS, and I'm so happy for her ; and I dream of the day I can get my batwings removed (maybe more).

That's it for me tonight! It's swimtime again! Muah!

Here's what I ate today:

Breakfast: 1-Crystal Light & Vanilla Protein Shake, 1-2% Cracker Barrel Cheddar Cheese Stick

Snack: 1 Apple, 2-Tbsp. Peanut Butter

Late Lunch: 1/2 Cup Sausage, 3-Small Figs

Snack:  1/2 McDonald's Angus Burger (No Bread), 2-Pickle Slices, 2-Rings Of Onion, 1 Tsp. Mustard & Ketchup

I'm 7 days post-op for my gastric lap band today and thankful to have progressed from clear liquids to full liquids. Here's what I ate today:

Hello Everyone!

Went to the pool with my girlies for a bit today - possibly our last visit of the season, unless the weather forecast changes.  Tonight, we went to parent's orientation for my 1st-grader - still having a hard time with that!  The kids start school on Thursday - it seems like it will be a good year.  My only complaint right now is I have a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow, and I'm feeling yucky & fevery tonight - hopefully, that will be gone tomorrow.

B:  an egg with cheese on half of an English muffin
L:  2 shredded beef taquitos with salsa and cheese
D:  at Chili's - some queso & 3 tortilla chips, mostly the innards and a little bit of one shell from chicken tacos, a few bites of corn, a few bites of apples, a few bites of red velvet cake

'night all!

Hello!

Today was a very... anxious day.  I met with my lawyer about my SSDI...  It's sad that a for-profit insurance company approves my disability while the gov't (non-profit) doesn't.  So needless to say I've had 3 panic attacks already today.  Fun times.

B: 2 Eggs (and 2 eggs came back up... got love panic attacks)
S: Water (and water came back up)
L: Too nauseous for anything
S: Protein Shake
D: Tuna w/All Bran Crackers
S: Protein Shake

Protein: 90g
Calories: 750 calories
Liquids: 100 ounces

Exercise: Does vomiting, punching things, screaming, crying count?

I hope everyone else had a much better day!

Hi Gina! Hi everyone else, haven't been on the board much lately, just very very busy :)

B: 1 scrambled egg
S: 1 cup popcorn
L: 1/2 c broccolli soup and 1/2 of a 1/2 turkey sandwich at applebees (best broc soup around!)
S: (this is soooo bad) We stopped at Chevy's after shopping and ate chips, salsa and guacamole, I got SO SICK!! I know better, just ate too much. Was nauseous all the way home. I won't be doing THAT again! Then got the shakes really really bad, until dinner.
D: 1/4 cup egg salad on 3 pita crackers. 

Don't know if the shakes is from not enough protein, or too much Iced Tea (caffiene) or part of dumping from the stupid chips at Chevys, whatever it was I DON'T want to experience that again. :)

Okay..I wanna join the fun.  I'm 24 days out from my surgery..RNY..here's my diet for today:
before breakfast: water and my vitamins

Crystal lite
Lunch: 2oz turkey and 1oz squash

I'm having trouble knowing when I'm full, so I have to measure everything or I eat too much and get sick.  And I eat too fast and get sick.  But I'm learning.
Thanks for letting me join the fun!!
