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

How do you post your menu like this? I would love to be able to make my post this way!

Well it's hump day and sunny but a *****illy here in Illinois today. B 1/2c steel cut oats with but mix and 1/2 banana with peanut butter L 3 oz deli chicken and cheese and 1/2 c veggies with a bit of quinoa S apple with peanut butter D 3 to 4 oz sirloin and 1/2 cgreen beans S 3/4 c Greek yogurt with nuts. I am 19 months post op and have been maintaining at 120-122 for 10 months. E 20 minutes on bike done and will do 2 miles on treadmill and 200 crunches. On track for fluids and vitamins too. Have a wonderful day everyone!

WOW, Karen...going from 260 to 120 and maintaining for 10 months is no easy feat!  Way to go :)  Such an inspiration to those of us early in the process :)

Had a wretched time getting out of the house with my darling children this morning so when you see my odd food choices just know that it was all the children's fault!

B:  chick peas, baby kale, steamed broccoli, olive oil and lemon juice drizzled on top

L:  chick peas, baby kale, green peppers, broccoli with tons of sauerkraut (I am seriously loving the sauerkraut), 2 T almond butter

S:  almonds

S:  carrot and green peppers with hummus

D:  hamburger patty with sauteed zuchini, tomatos, and broccoli, baby kale, and a starchy veggie (YAHOOO!!!!) either mashed rutabaga or pureed pumpkin

No exercise today, still recovering.  I am overjoyed to report that I have no fever today (first time in a week) and I think it is possible that I might be over the worst of the candida die off!  I can also think clearly today which is an excellent sign!  This crazy restricted diet is paying off, along with the drugs and herbs, and teas and tinctures! 

I am also doing great on fluids, 55 oz so far.  I am drinking gallons of ginger, oat, marshmallow, and camomile tea.  Overall, pretty great day here in the freezing cold north!

Ha ha Louise @wretched children!  At least you are still eating very healthy - tons of veggies in your diet!  I haven't really gone the veggie route yet - I tend to make all of my 3-4 oz just straight up meat/protein :)  AWESOME news on the candida dying off.  I am glad you are staying hydrated and feeling good!

I am eating way more veggies now and actually I really like it.  I missed the veggies!  I am 18 months out so I can usually eat 3 oz of dense protein plus some veggies.  If the protein isn't as dense, like beans, I can eat even more veggies. 

I've heard that candida die off makes one feel almost flu-ish. Is that what you've been going through?

Yes!  There were a few days where it was sortof like having the flu, being drunk,  and smoking pot, all at one time.  Not that I have experience with all of that...  Haha!  I had a fever for six days straight.  I couldn't think straight, was lightheaded and woozy, my skin was all tingly and sensitive like when you have the flu.  Basically I just felt dreadful.  But today I am definitely better.  HAllelujah!  I am just a little fatigued and a tiny bit foggy but I can work and have some energy.  So much better!

Ah, I see. Sounds awful! I'm so glad you're feeling better now.

Hello Everyone!  As always thanks for the great tips. I will be trying the Syntrax mint cookie, it sounds delicious.  I was having great luck with the vanilla isopure (and 50g protein per serving) but the last week I've been really grossed out by it every time I try and drink it.  So the syntrax sounds like a good replacement option, especially if you can buy sample packs first!

B- Fage 2%

L- Premier Protein

S- Kale Chips

D- unknown (I have book club tonight and I'm not sure what will be there.  In the past I tend to grab carrot sticks and hummus and then supplement with a little more protein when I get home if need be)

V - On target

W - I need to pick it up

E - None (although I do take a mini "jog" every hour in the restrooms at work and that seems to help getting my step totals up.  I'm lucky that we only have a one person bathroom at work, so no one knows I'm the crazy girl jogging in the bathroom for a couple minutes every hour:)

Have a great day everyone!
