What's on the menu today, RNY-ers?

Hi DC,

Kind of bummed. Saw my surgeon and Nut yesterday, and she wants me to have 150g, or as close as I can get to it, in protein! 2 protein shakes a day CRAP. I can barely get down one. My surgeon doesnt want me to have any acidic foods from now on, nothing spicy, because I told him I ate some green chile sauce (mild enchilada sauce), and he said, no more. I need to take care of my new stomach. (I'm mexican, I love spicy food). So okay, I'll lay off the jalepenos now, but come on. UGH. To add insult to injury, I have not lost 1 pound in a week. 3 week stall yada yada yada. 13 pounds lost since surgery, 2 days away for 4 weeks post op. I lost more weight during pre op in that amount of time......

morning had my protein shake

lunch: egg white, with mashed black beans, and green chile sauce (against Dr. recommendation)

snack: protein shake

dinner: cooked shredded chicken breast topped with marinara sauce and swiss cheese, broiled

I'm so sorry to hear that! I don't know what I will do if my nutritionist tells me no spice :( I'm not Mexican but I may as well be! Whenever I am in Mexico with local friends, I have always eaten hotter salsas and peppers than they do. They are always impressed with this blonde gringa who eats habaneros :)

I guess I will ask at my next appointment about spicy foods. I have been eating red hot pepper flakes even in my two week post opp fluids. I added them to caldo so I could taste something!

I also want to see massive weight loss but we HAVE to keep in mind that we are eating, what? 600 calories a day? This is likely 20% of what we used to eat. The weight will come off. One year from now we will be completely different people. We got this!

I eat spicy/hot sauce all the time and so do other post ops.  What does your surgeon think it's going to do to your pouch?

its probably cause its only 3-4 wks out so the pouch is still new and recouperating and stuff.

Happy Saturday!

4 1/2 months out from surgery.  Still feeling a little under the weather, so I could have done better...BUT...

Breakfast: Coffee with 1/2 scoop of protein.

Snack: Small handful of peanuts.

Lunch: One and a half turkey pinwheels on flatbread...(pulled off all the excess flatbread, tho, to make it mostly meat, cheese, lettuce and a dab of dressing).

Snack: Small bit of beef jerkey.

Dinner: Not quite sure yet...may have another pinwheel.  I work tonight, so I'd prefer to just bring something easy.

Exercise: Didn't do anything extra...but I do work tonight, and it's a pretty physical job. 

Liquids: Another cup of coffee with SF creamer, on track to have enough water to meet and exceed 64 oz.

Vitamins: On track.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, guys!
