What's on your menu today, RNYers?

Good morning hope you all are doing well. I was bad this morning I never got out of bed till nine. I did go to bed very late.My husband is traveling. One thing I didn't do was eat because he wasn't here. I did have a snack at night but it was planned. 

B:Eggs with bacon

S:none since I got up so late

L:Yogurt with almonds

D:Salad with steak.I am going to get it take out for my dinner tonight.

Exercise I am cleaning my furniture with one of those Bissel cleaners. Vitamins are in. Water is going down. One thing I did eat yesterday that was so good was a Fiber one ginger bread bar. It was so good. I am not sure if you are better off just eating a regular cookie.

Well have a good day.The leaves are beautiful today I may take a ride.

I love those Fiber One bars; I've never seen the gingerbread, though.  I'll have to be on the lookout!  My son always wants the lemon ones in his lunch.  I prefer the chocolate brownie.

The gingerbread ones are addicting.I may by the small box from the regular store instead of buying them from Costco.The were so good.

I've never seen the Gingerbread before. I'm on a search to save a box for when I can eat them. 

Good Morning Everyone,

I feel the scale issues.  I almost went into a complete panic last month, b/c I only lost 5 lbs (and I still feel so far away from goal...at the time 50 lbs away).  Now, b/c I've been sick, my body has dropped almost that much in the last 3 days.  My fear is that it is all water weight, or do to the fact that my calories have been low b/c I just havent' been able to eat (I have however, been drinking a ton of water).  Only time will tell.  Which also does make me think about adjusting my calories back down during weight loss (I've been b/w 700 - 800 cals the last few days).  The other thing is, I havent' been thinking about protein at all (I know horrible) and my carbs have been up (b/w 75 - 100).  So, the mysteries of all this are making my brain spin, how can I keep up the weight loss, after such a horrible month with so little scale movement, but also increase my cals (because god knows I don't want to be eating only 1000 cals in maintenence).  Man, talk about WLS problems...lol!  

Time since surgery: 9 mo, 1 wk

B - Oatmeal w/ chia seeds, almonds and raspberries (I've been craving oatmeal lately...it's not even cold here.  I"m not sure what that's all about, but I've been eating it and losing, so I figure I'll just go with it).

L - TBD (work lunch, prob. soup or something)

D - TJ's meatloaf (I had this last night for dinner and it was so filling and had great protein #'s)

W/V - On track

E - None planned

Have a great day everyone!

I wonder if we will always have a love/hate relationship with the scale. I only weighed weekly when I was in weight loss mode and did okay with that,but now that I am in maintenance I weigh daily to help me adjust my calories and exercise to stay at 120. I've found that when I have several lower calorie days in a row(for instance when I eat lots of fish) I still lose weight. Today my weight was 118.6 so I will give the fish a break. My husband is working in New Orleans right now and has been gone for 7 weeks and its hard to cook for a person who eats 1 cup of food. I've been doing fish a lot because I lover it and he is not a huge fan. I usually get at least two meals out of one batch too! On track with vitamins and fluids so far and walked 3 miles with Li!y at the park. Also have finished level 3 of 30 day shred and feeling really strong and healthy today! Post op 26 months today too! Here's my food: B1/2 csteel cut oats with nuts and half a banana with peanut butter L 31/2 oz tilapia(last of it) and 1/2 c Greek yogurt S Greek yogurt D 31/2 oz turkey burger with cheese and 1/2 c cauliflower with cheese S oats with peanut butter. Hope everyone has a great day!

Great job on your running. I didn't like running the first three months I started. I just did it because I needed to do some exercise so I stRted with the couch to 5k. Now I like it because I get up and do it first thing in the morning and it is done in 50 min. I don't have to drive anywhere to do it and it is free. I love how it changes the shape of your body pretty quickly.

I run four days a week and go to the gym 2 days a week. The sad part is I am considering giving up the gym because i have to do that at night after work. I try to talk myself out of going every time because with travel time and class time and elliptical time it takes 3 hrs of my evening. I burn the same amount of calories running for an hour. Still trying to weigh this all out. 

Always love reading these posts. Yay! Annie on running. I always contemplate whether I could be one of those people. :) A bunch of people from the support group regularly do 5ks... some walk and some run. Trying to decide if I am going to jump in and try. Feeling all over the place. Last week when I had my 3 month check-up the surgeon was asking me how I was doing...I mentioned I have a hard time eating more solid foods, not pain but it's uncomfortable. He got upset thinking I might have some kind of irritation/leading to an ulcer...told me to up Prilosec and take tums. It was helping about 50%... Monday night I had some twangs of pain and I was feeling a little tender. So I went back Tuesday. Surgeon was thinking he would like to do an endoscopy. He went and talked to the head surgeon (both did my surgery) and he took more of a wait and see attitude. I was OK with that, When he was questioning me he asked if it was when I eat a lot... I said no, it could just be two or three bites. The head surgeon responded with 2 or 3 bites is a lot for someone with bypass. Really? yes in the beginning but at 3+ months out. To me 3 bites is like 1-2 Tablespoons. Made me start to question myself. AM I eating too much? But then how do I get all the protein in? I also was told to up my protein last week.Mentioned it at support group and others did not seem to agree with the three bites. Just feeling a little befuddled...
