What's on the menu today, RNYers?

Hi DC and fellow menu posters! It snowed here overnight and all morning yes you read that right, snow!!  I am not feeling great, there is a cold going around my work and so I am home from work and just taking it easy.  Not sure if because I am not feeling great, but my pouch seems "angry" today, while drinking my protein shake this morning it has been "talking back to me" and its unusually loud noises and its not that it hurts, but I can feel the gurgles so to speak. So I will post what I have planned for my menu but not sure I will actually eat it all.

I agree the post yesterday was great, very thought provoking and gets people talking, sharing and I think several of us realized we are not "alone" in this journey, we all pretty much feel the same, have the same fears, trepidations, anxieties.  So thanks everyone.

You must have read my mind DC, I was just thinking on the weekend that I might pick up some firm tofu and grill it on the bbq or try some wild new recipe.  My hubby does not like tofu so it will be a meal I make when he goes out with his guy friends or stays late at work or something.  I think your little experiment worked great, sounds yummy to me.  I want to find your recipe you made your Mexican turkey meatloaf, I am going to do the same.  I love, love all things Mexican flavoured, well Indian, Thai, and Japanese flavoured (mmmmm sashimi) I pretty much like them all!!  LOL LOL  Pre surgery I was a sugar addict, now don't care about sugar at all, all I want is savoury all the time!  I hear you on the some days I think I have a bottomless pit and then others I take a 1/2 cup of food and only finish a 1/4 cuz I am full.  Our new insides never cease to amaze me all the changes I am still going through at 5.5 months out.

DC maybe with tomorrow's menu thread we can ask the menu posters what their plan/strategy is for Easter dinner, how will people be eating/coping with this holiday. Just a thought. 

Have a great day everyone,

Daisy

Daisy, that is an awesome idea (re: the Easter dinner topic).  Love it!

I, too, love Mexican flavors!  The Mexican meatloaf is so moist and delicious (from the cheese and chilies) and no bread crumbs/very low carb :)  

I was thinking the tofu could also taste good with teriyaki sauce - tofu really absorbs flavors.

I think most men would say they "hate" tofu but really they haven't tried it!

I was LOLing at your post about snow...being from Detroit....when I woke up and checked Facebook I saw about 50 posts *****ing about snow :)  So I knew right away what the weather was back at home!

I hope your stomach is feeling better!!!

Daisy I totally get the whole "My pouch hates me" today thing. It's so weird, some days nothing I eat sits right, and then others it seems like anything and everything is A-OK. I've learned to just kind of roll with the days when it's a little grumpy, back off to slider foods and shakes only if need be, and then go back to eating (as best I can) dense proteins and veggies when there's room the next day.

Sometimes it feels like I have a cranky little toddler in my stomach. "NO! I don't want that!!" 

Hi everyone, I feel like I am in a food rut. I really need to take the time to try some new recipes.

V: only have iron left E: going to Curves after work So far today I am at 97gr protein, 704 calories & 21 carbs
