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

Touchdown! I landed back in DC from Mexico and the flight was great! No one was in the middle seat but also it was a united flight that had upgraded their seating to the new slim fit seats and it felt roomy and there was a lot of extra space with the seatbelt. Granted, losing 60 lbs helped create space too, but the new seats are pretty great-they take up less room this giving us more :)

So hence the late-in-the-day post. 

Im so happy to be home since my calories have been high (for me) all week. 

Time since surgery: 11 weeks 5 days

B: airport food :( a bite of eggs, maybe 3 Oz of chicken with a sprinkle of cheese, in salsa

L: the items out of the tapas box that were WLS friendly. I had 4 cheese crisps I had traveled with, and used a little bit of the spreadable cheese, most of the tiny hummus, and 5 green olives. Will give the chocolate and crackers away. 

D: have a friend coming to town so maybe we will walk to a Thai restaurant for dinner and I can order chicken and make a bunch of meals out of it. 

My friend who is coming is pregnant with twins! But sooo supportive. We are walking to the gym tomorrow and working out and then getting pedicures :)

I hear your concerns on traveling. Post everyday while you're gone and log it into MFP-that's what works for me. I know I stayed on plan all week BUT I had too much guacamole BUT I still lost :) Must have been all the exercise :) I will be pulling for you!
