Thanks for replying, I need the support so that I can continue to remain focused. I will post my menu on the fridge daily just as a reminder. I am obsessed about going into a grocery store daily buying food, that will be eliminated too.  I was thinking this morning that I will not be jealous of a person's success with their weight loss because I too can and will be successful.

Well here is my menu for the day.  I am pmsing so the carbs may seem a bit harsh and I seem to be hungrier so I am snacking some.  Happens every month unfortunately. breakfast will be 4 oz Dannon light & fit yogurt, 1/2 multigrain light english muffin toasted with peanut butter, and a small banana. lunch will be a ham, cheese & tomato sandwich on whole grain white bread (I really like the Blue Ribbon brand, the bread isn't dry, the slices and smaller, and it isn't as heavy as wheat bread), a few multigrain Sun Chips & a small banana. dinner will be leftovers from last night, steak, a little bit of mashed potatoes, and some grilled seasonal veggies. Might throw in a popcorn snack, string cheese, or protein bar in there once or twice today. 

OOh. no!  Reading this post and replies was like watching the Food Network channel for someone only 10 days post-op.  My yummy meals for today are:  Breakfast - Vitamins + 8 oz ProComplex Vaniila protein shake (55 g protein) made with Crystal Light Sunrise Orange and  1 tsp NF/SF yogurt to wash down crushed medicine tablet. Snack - 8 ox V-8 juice (1 g protein) Lunch - 8 oz chicken broth  Snack - 1 oz NF/SF yogurt (1 g protein) Dinner - 8 oz ProComplex Chocolate shake (55 g protein) made with water (tried skim milk yesterday and it didn't set well) Snack - 1 oz NF/SF yogurt (1 g protein) Plus 6 glasses of water!

My menu for today may seem weird to some, but I was at work for almost 13 hours. And it is really hard to find time to sit down and eat a regular meal. So I eat mini meals through out the day. Breakfast- 1/2 protein bar coffee w/ creamer Snack- 1/2 protein bar coffee w/ creamer Lunch- 2 slices cheddar cheese ( about 1inch squares) 4 slices pepperoni 4 ritz crackers Snack- ( over the course of 2 hours) 1 bottle Achive One coffee drink vanilla nut 6 peanut butter crackers (small nab size) Dinner 2 slices cheddar cheese (about 1" squares) 2 slices swiss cheese (deli size) some white seedless grapes ( maybe about 1/2 cup) I did not drink much water today.... As usual. I usually get in only about 20 oz of water or water drinks. I really need to work on my daily intake... of carbs and water. Tootles Cath
