I went through the pantry and brought all my bars into the office breakroom! They have found good homes that are not mine!

Good morning - I don't see a thread so I'll get us started! I've got a jam packed day so might not get back on line until evening.
It's definitely a monday, after having a terrible time sleeping last night, I finally just gave up about 230 and got out of bed. The coffee cup below kind of tells my Monday morning attitude!
QOTD - Deb's question yesterday on magic menu prompts my QOTD -- what is something you eat post WLS that you wouldn't have tried before? For me, it's the carbmaster cottage cheese! I love the stuff now, wouldn't even have considered it previously.
Accountability - staying on track but I'd really like to see if I can get down to 130 so I'm going to move back to under 1K calories a day/under 20 carbs and see how that goes. Might be possible, might not.
Menu:
Loads of coffee and half & half plus and water and tea
B - 4 oz ever roast deli chicken, 1 slice sargento cheese
L - 4 oz ever roast deli chicken, 1 slice sargento cheese, 10 blackberries
S - carb master cin raisin cottage cheese
D - 4 oz roast beef leftovers
991 calories, 111 protein, 17 carbs
Ex - hitting the new rec center today for 30 minutes rowing and some weights; plus I need to put my new manual push mower together and cut the grass (unless it rains)
Have a fantastic start to the week all!

I agree on the breakfast...unless there is a place with a bacon flight. We went to brunch on Saturday and I had a bacon flight - once slice each of Applewood, BBQ, Candied, Habanero, Paleo and their featured french toast bacon; I ate one bit of each but the whole thing of applewood and habanero. So good; so worth it.

Coffee with a little unsweetened whip cream to start
Later cheddar and bacon egg bite
lunch - buffalo jalapeño smoked sausage link (had this last week and it's so good)
Dinner - cheese crust pizza slice
S - I actually like my frozen light and fits but I WANT the boston cream one to be available here..so far no dice. Instead of the L&F, I wouldn't turn down if someone made a tasty low carb, no sugar chocolate chip cookie. I don't think such a creature exists though!

We are here for you...and we get it! Even if we haven't had the same GERD/revision issue, the run up to (another) surgery; the need to stay on plan when it's so hard to focus...we are your ears.
You've got this!

Happy Saturday! Good news about DW, Janet...and do take care of yourself too - Mammos are important.
QOTD - not a big festival goer, unless you count the Renaissance Festival? I there's an under $100 art show festival every year that I like.
Today is a fun girls day, so I'm about to run out and do my grocery shopping before meeting the ladies -- we're starting with brunch at Bacon Social House and I'm so excited about a flight of bacon for breakfast! Then pedis, some shopping and making some woodworking items at a woodworking/painting place -- it's like the wine and paint but with wood (they cut everything which is good as they allow BYOB).
B - coffee and protein shake
Brunch - bacon
Dinner - probably some kind of cheese/meat plate
Have the best Saturday everyone!!

Happy FRIDAY!!! For a short week, I'm ready for the weekend.
I put together a very informal gathering of friends tonight, my old purchasing team so that should be a fun get together; then tomorrow we have a girls day with Brunch, Pedicures and we're doing a woodworking class (they tell me it's as easy as the paint and sip things...we shall see!) and saturday I have a pilates class and getting my hair cut and colored. Very full weekend but all good stuff.
QOTD - i try to do things for people in the moment - send small gifts, flowers, etc when I see something for them vs waiting until an event; I'm also the social director for my friends so very focused on including everyone; I hate the idea of people being lonely.
Accountability - Kelly is on an 18 day no bar streak...but I think I ate all her skipped bars yesterday...Ok, it was two...but by the time I was done, it felt like all 18.
Menu today
all the 0 cal liquids
B - cin raisin cottage cheese
L - two rolltini (salami and cheese)
S - L&F yogurt
D - tbd
Photo friday - a few pictures from garden of the gods and Pikes Peak. Also some random child climbing right under the "these rocks can fall and kill you so don't climb here" sign while her parental figure took a photo. SMH.
Have a great friday and weekend everyone!

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday! An unexpected mental health day can be a great break...and sounds very needed! enjoy!
QOTD - I took French and Latin in high school; I took Spanish as an adult when I was supporting our Latin American business. I read spanish way better than I speak it and my french has pretty much just been reduced to recognizing things on the menu level; it's true if you don't use a language, you can lose it!
Accountability - with family in town over the last week, I had a couple of small bites of gelato yesterday; about half a shot of bourbon while watching Game of Thrones and far too many nuts over the week. But the nuts are in the car for the road trip home and i should be back to normal patterns now. Got in lots of walking while they were here, made it to the gym one time. Pilates class tonight to get back on track exercise wise.
The menu today is:
Coffee, water, and more coffee
B - carb master cottage cheese
L - 4 oz ever roast deli chicken and 1 slice cheddar (.8 oz)
D - Left over kielbasa from the polish restaurant
S - half and half in coffee, L&F greek (frozen)
849 cal, 73 protein, 26 carb
Have a great Thursday all!

Happy Thursday! I had a good evening with the aunts and my uncle, but of stress with my mom and she's already started up today but we'll get through it. Two days of driving and the fam is a little stiff and sore so i promised them a low key day, probably a couple of walks in the neighborhood trails, then lunch out and they want to watch the 2nd episode of game of thrones again tonoreo for Sunday...and I'm good with that!
qotd - Bluetooth, streaming, internet in general and the computer in your pocket are all things that that would amaze me - they ARE things that amaze me, lol. Also Germany becoming the powerhouse it has become, given the wall only fell in 1989; pretty sure no one predicted that in 1991 - also how public people are with their hate these days would be shocking, it's shocking now when we've all seen it build up over time...but to just get thrown in? I hope they take a long time to introduce her to social media!
menu is a bit up in the air but I'm going to make eggs and bacon for everyone for breakfast, maybe throw some chicken breasts into the crockpot for dinner and lunch out will be protein forward.
Should be a great Thursday! I hope everyone's is too!!

Can you go back to the guidelines for when you made it to "real" food? Qty might be slightly different now since we're a year plus out but the foundation would still be good! I know how tempting the head hunger can be sometimes in the grocery store....and then the temptation sometimes makes it home, do you have curbside delivery or anything like that where you are? I have that as my backup plan when I KNOW walking into the grocery store will lead to walking out with cookies which leads to dumping which leads to RH....because even knowing the outcome, I still need the physical distance/disconnect from the options. Brains are weird.

Whoo hoo! That is awesome! Isn't it interesting when you are going to drop big $ and the person/business can't be bothered to do what's needed to get it? I don't need get it, especially when it's a commissioned based business! When I had a sales/commission role, I was all over it!
