What's on the menu today, RNYers?

Wanted to "like" this lol. 

Hi Topher! I'm so glad :) I love them too and it's nice to know others do too :) enough people contribute every day that I figure it's helpful. And even more just view it. I used to be a lurker lurker lurker. Pre-op mostly. Now I like contributing and more so, I like seeing what other people are eating, to keep me accountable and give me food ideas! It's so interesting to see how lenient people are. I may seem lenient because I am eating tuna tartar at less than a month out :) I am sooooo sticking to lean proteins and no carbs (they are my downfall) but I see most people further out have added them back in. It scares me! I don't know if I can be this rigid for the next 50 years but nor can I have 2 tbsp of angel hair pasta. More like half a box ;) sorry for rambling! Hope your weekend is off to a good start!

I will comment on your "lenient" remark LOL    Be careful, each of us has to work our plan and realize what they can and cant eat in moderation.  For me I have learned that I can NOT have baked chips in the house, I rationalize to myself that they are "just" potatoes..... not, I ate the whole bag.    I can not have honey roasted peanuts around either, I ate the whole can in just a few days, one handful at a time.   Those snacky type foods get me every time!

Time since surgery: 20 months

Breakfast: one pepper jack cheese stick and a Venti Skinny Vanilla Latte no whip from Starbucks

Lunch: 1/8 Cup Pinto Beans; 1/2 oz ham

Dinner: 1/4 of a Totino's Snack Pizza (which I promptly urped back up....should have KNOWN better but was with my mom and had nothing else :( ) now that I am home I have to find something non-urp worthy!!!!

Snack : 1/4 pretzels

Vitamins-- forgot about half my vitamins today before I left the house--I wanted to kick myself!!! On track with my water though

Are you eating enough for being 20 months out? just curious because I'm 10 months out and I eat WAY more than that. That's like, 2 months out portions 

I Am 2.5 yrs out

Breakfast:  chocolate protein shake with sugar free smores syrup

lunch : hamburger stew

dinner veggie burger topped with onions and mushrooms, roasted sweet potato

Snack:  grapefruit, greek yogurt topped with wheat germ, and carrots sprinkled with Chili pepper

Exercise:  None  Today was my rest day.  it was a choice to take my car to be repaired or exercise.  Sadly my car made the decision for me. 

11 Months Out

B - 1/2 Chobani 100 Greek Cherry Yogurt. I didn't like it, but ate 1/2

S - peanut butter crackers because breakfast didn't do it for me

L - 3 ounces lean stew beef with a few bites of carrots and potatoes

S - bakes sweet potato fries & string cheese

D - PF Chang's Kung P Shrimp and Scallops; about 6 pieces of meat with a bit of rice and some edamame

S - 2 Ritz Crackers and an olive 

1200 calories counting my coffee creamer. Vitamins all in. 6500 steps, but I generally don't work out on Fridays.

I will assume that rice sits well in your pouch? I have heard other's say, that rice does not sit well, and it usually comes back up.. Just curious.

Oh yes.  I have a pouch of steel. I can eat anything, except sugar.  I try to be protein forward .. and get the meat in first, but I eat rice and pasta and bread at times.  Every diet I have ever failed at involved restricting food - which only made me want it 10 times more.  I use my RNY to limit portions, watch my calories, take my vitamins and get my exercise. 

There were some things that did not sit well early on... like broccoli and things with peels.  I still don't do steak I cannot chew really well.

3 1/2 wks out

B: None (was busy with drs)

S: laughing cow wedge with 4 or 5 ritz crackers (i know bad)

L: 2oz of chicken with 2 tablespoons of angel hair pasta (if that much)

D:  GNC Total Lean Lean shake (170 cals 24 vitamins and minerals 25 grams of protein 2g sugar) its a 14 oz bottle so I will be drinking on it slowly for a while

S: if i do get another snack it will be a greek yogurt i picked up to try (havent found one i care for so trying some a lady on here recommended)
