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

LOL @ your comment about pistacchios.  Yes, they are crack like.  I like to buy the ones in the shell...that way I have to work for my food :)  Nuts aren't allowed yet on my plan, but one day :)

breakfast: coffee w/ creamer, yo plait light yogurt 

snack: protein shake 

lunch: tuna, lettuce, and cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, maybe some feta

snack: string cheese

dinner: chicken lettuce wraps (like Pf changs, just homemade) 

exercise: ran 4 miles this morning. First time vet doing 4 miles straight!!! 

I realized recently that I think this surgery has made me invincible. I've been over eating, eating too many carbs, and too much of the bad stuff without enough of the good stuff. I haven't had any gain, but I'm trying to get back on track. Counting my calories today, and need to start weighing my food again 

 

WOW!  4 miles is amazing!  I walk 2 miles a day, so to think of you running twice that distance...well, I am impressed!  It's good you have realized you need to make a change before gaining any weight.  It sounds like your menu for today is low carb and on plan :)

HeyCeithlen!  You seriously rule at maximizing your protein for your calories!  I have like 100 calories less than you but a full 30 g of protein less.  I have to improve on this!  Chicken and hummous sounds delicious - I have a favorite Middle Eastern restaurant that serves hummous with chopped up chicken breast and toasted pine nuts on top.  YUM!  I used to eat it with way too many pieces of pita bread lol.

I am 6 months out this week:
