Whatcha eating today VSGers??? Monday!

Yay Monday?   I had an appointment with my surgeon today but it was rescheduled - thankfully 10 minutes before I had left the house to get to it!  

I've really been failing at getting all of my meals in, so I hope to change that today.  

B: scrambled egg with guacamole and salsa
S: 1/2 frankenshake (protein powder, 1T collagen, 2T benefiber)
L: grilled skirt steak (I'll attempt this and have fish for backup if necessary) and onion carbonara
D: FroYo Protein Popsicle
S: 1/2 frankenshake

Water and vites: on track
Exercise: physical therapy

B: 3/4 cheesestick and 2 slices of chicken deli meat 

S: 10oz fairlife skim milk

L: 2oz cottage cheese

S: 10 oz fairlife skim milk

D: ??? maybe FF refried beans - family is having mac-n-cheese casserole thingy

S: more milk

 

(I haven't been able to choke down protein shakes since surgery - cold things make me want to vomit - so warm milk has been my go-to protein supplement and the fairlife stuff is double protein and half carb)

Ready for a new week!  Mondays always help me get back on track...

B - Coffee
Sn - Fruyo, greek yogurt
L - Chicken parm "casserole"
Sn - homemade turkey chorizo stuffed in mini sweet peppers with cheese
D - Chicken Cordon Bleu "casserole"

Hey Gwen, how the heck are ya?  I've been M.I.A. for about a week.  I was on vacay for most of last week and just got back ... at work.  Yay ... NOT!!

B: 1/2 ThinkThin Bar (I am not promoting protein bars here )

S: 1/2 ThinkThin Bar

L: Chicken Sausage, 1 slice of reduced fat smoked gouda (I didn't make any chicken for the week so I gotta go with what I got!)

S: Dannon Light & Fit Caramel Macchiato Greek Yogurt

D: not sure, but def high protein/low carb

Walking, Water, Vits ... Check!

Yay vacation!  Did you go anywhere exciting?  

I shaved my head yesterday!  I can't stop touching it today.  Heh. 

why did you shave your head? sounds kind of drastic to me.

Weight loss surgery is kind of drastic too, eh? ;D

1) Because I've always wanted to.

2) Because my dad has lost all of his hair from chemo and I thought it would be a cool solidarity thing.

3) Because I know some will fall out post-op, so why not?

4) To raise money for childhood cancer research.  I raised $1501!

You are a very good daughter to support your dad that way. When I cut my hair after surgery I donated mine to locks of love. I thought more of my hair would have fallen out but it didn't, but I still love my short and sassy cut anyway, lol. You go to it girl!

good for you gwen! there should be more people like you in the world. i am a childhood cancer survivor so i try to do what i csan to support it too.

I went to visit my  in TX.  I had a great time!

You shaved your head???  :)
