What's on the menu today, RNYers?
I ended the day with some Vietnamese noodle soup(pho), without the noodles. I had about 2 cups of it. It was mostly just the broth and the 2 no sugar added fudge pops.
Hello Everybody! This is such a late post for me, it's been a crazy few days at the office. I'm so happy I didn't miss this discussion though, b/c I think it's an important one. I had a day last week where I was close to 900 cals, and I almost had a heart attack over it. Then I took a step back and realized, 900 cals is still a very low cal day in the grand scheme of things. I think we've all embraced our new lifestyle with enthusiasm and vigor and as a result navigating these new waters is scary. It's so great to have a community of people to bounce ideas off of.
In other news, I had to have a business lunch at PF Chang's today. If anyone goes there I highly recommend ordering off of their seasonal menu: Seared Ahi with wasabi guacamole.....oh my god SOOO good. Of course I could only eat 1/2, but it was delicious and 1/2 was around 150 cals, 10 carbs and 35g protein. It just became my perfect meal :)
Time since surgery 4 months (almost)
B - Greek yogurt w/ walnut 100 cal pack
L - PF Chang's Seared Ahi Tuna w/ wasabi guac
D - TBD, but I'm thinking a protein shake
V On track
W - On trackish (need to pick it up here a bit)
E - 30 min spinning
Have a great night everyone and as always, I love reading this thread!
Hi Emily. Do let us know about your 5 month f/u. I am curious about the dizziness. Fascinating info about the calorie intake in the first year. I did not know this.
I would love to work out in the morning too and sometimes I think I will but my wake up time is 5am and not sure I could do it earlier plus the hair, and the makeup. It would be great to do it first thing though.
