What's on the menu today, RNY-ers?
Missed your post yesterday, and I looked for it too. Don't know what I did wrong.
B: premier protein, chocolate.
L: sandwich-sourdough slice, sun dried tomato turkey breast, tomato. ( I've had a hard time eating deli meats, so unappealing, but with the toast, OMG it felt terrific to eat a sandwich again. I eat 1 slice of toast maybe once a week, it's my treat).
D: roast.
having trouble remembering to drink water! But vitamins are on target
Not gonna lie..... I'm tired and lazy today. Went to work at 6 and I could seriously go to bed right now and not feel guilty in the least!
B: Water, hot decaf tea (2 cups) and an Atkins shake on my drive to work (Yes, I had to pee as soon as I walked in!)
S: Light and Fit greek cherry yogurt w/Bear Naked granola sprinkled in. Coffee.
L: Two turkey/swiss naked roll ups
S: Handful of cashews. Coffee
D: I MIGHT have another turkey/swiss roll up but honestly, I'm just not that hungry. I had my 3 large calcium chews when I came home and now I'm stuffed. If I stay up long enough then I'll probably have that roll up if the hunger bug gets me.
Vitamins: One iron tablet left which I'll probably take in another hour or so.
Exercise: Yeah, right. It's not happening today. To be fair, I do walk a lot at work. I work for a huge University and find excuses to run errands around campus whenever possibly especially since the weather is so awesome!
Water: More than enough
I'm a little embarrassed to say but I really don't keep track of carbs, sugars (stay away from anyway) or fats. Someone brought in 4 huge boxes of Russell Stover chocolates today and it didn't even phase me. That is a good thing, of course! I should invest in a fitbit.
That is SO awesome that you don't count and lose weight! I find I have to meticulously count and measure and weigh. Otherwise I just sneak in a few things here and there and suddenly my calories are more than they should be. I'm impressed that you can do it on your own. It's how "normal" people eat I would say :)
I would totally recommend a FitBit! It is sooooo motivational. I have the FitBit One and LOVE it. I work in ed tech and we sell technology to universities and whenever we have a meeting on campus, we inevitably have the LONGEST walk to our meetings! So I think you should track because you may be shocked how much you walk!

I probably should count what I eat but, for now, I really don't eat much and never graze so not really feeling the need to. However, it would be a very good habit to get into so I think I'll start!
If the fitbit can motivate the best motivator and positive member on this forum (yes, I mean YOU) then I'm in! Thanks!
Oh, I have had the famines that dragged out for hours. Absolutely miserable...
I just ordered Syntax samples from bjsbariatrics.com They let you choose your own flavors. I love the lemon tea, fuzzy navel and the pink grapefruit (tried this one this morning). I tried the lemonade and it was ok. I hated the tropical fruit flavor. YUCK!
B: premier protein
S: yntrax pink grapefruit protein & 1 slice deli turkey, 1 slice pepper jack cheese
L: 1/2 cup chili, ccarbonated yogurt
S: 1/2 quest chocolate chip cookie dough protein bar
D: not sure yet, but if I am hungry I will probably have more chili
So far that is 648 calories & 87g protein. This is more calories than I usually eat, but I was hungry today. I do not think I will be hungry for dinner though.
Ok, I am glad I am not alone with the hours of foamies! I seriously hope to NEVER experience that again!!! Your menu is pretty awesome considering how many g of protein you get in. We had RNY at the same time and I am usually around 650 or 700 calories. How many do you usually eat? I can't help but compare :) I can't wait to order some samples and try this magical Sytrax... :) Em
