Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday, 2/5/2018

Hello All I'm new here, love to read the threads so I know what to eat after my sleeve. My initial surgery date was today but I had to postpone it 6-8 weeks due to carpal tunnel. Anyway the hands are much better so now I can cook! Finally. But I have put on weight eating out & not being able to move much. I wnt putchase a wherlchair in fear of never being able to get out of it. Since just 10 lbs makes a significant level in my pain Im tryin to lose it fast. So I'm hoing to do only shakes today. I dnt have premiere i have the blue & white canister called LEAN.

Has anyone else used this one? I've read my taste will change do I only have Banana & Orange Crush. I also have whey protein in chocolate.

If I didnt need sleep like ever & I had energy - I'd become a doctor.

Welcome, glad your hands are better. The menu thread is a wonderful place to find support. Yes, your taste could possibly change after surgery. Most places will allow you to return protein and try a different one. I bought sample packets of different whey powders at Natural Grocers and GNC. I ended up using Premiere Protein ready made and unflavored protein powder in unsweetened almond milk. I have not tried LEAN. Good luck and hope to see you back.

Getting ready for opening weekend of AZ Ren Fest this weekend. Picked out my garb yesterday. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

I can hardly believe it's Monday already! I did good with eating on Super Bowl, but I had two beers and the scale reflected that this morning.

QOTD: As long as I had energy I would probably take up some hobbies, maybe work a 2nd job, solve world peace?

B: coffee w/HH and 1 egg white bite

L: grilled chicken salad

D: TBD husband is going grocery shopping today

S: protein shake and/or 2nd egg white bite

E: trying to get the steps in at work

V/W: Water never an issue it's these damn vitamins I am struggling with. I just don't remember and setting up a reminder doesn't help because I am never at my desk or near the vitamins when it goes off. When I go in for my 6 month I am going to talk to my surgeon about patches?

Nothing too exciting on the docket today, though I am planning to start my job search today. I'm on a project appt right now until the end of June, so it's time to start looking for my next placement.

QOTD: Read more and write more, probably.

M1: Protein Rush! Shake + Cold Brew

M2: Bacon Ranch Tuna Salad + Dill Havarti

M3: 1/2 oz sunflower cinnamon crisps

M4: Crockpot Bourbon Chicken

M5: Protein Banana Pudding

Good morning! Sounds like you have a good day planned Gwen, enjoy! I never made it to the grocery store yesterday, so that is my definite plan for today.

QOTD-Finish a workbook that I have been trying to get through for the last 2 years, finally use the Body Gym I purchased on QVC before surgery 2 years ago, get through some of my beautiful cookbooks and pick my favorite recipe's, organize a box of photos into a file or albums and catch up on the shows I have on my DVR list:-)

B-1 protein pancake w/SF maple syrup

L-canned chicken with mayo, string cheese

S-Chai tea with cream & stevia

D-TBD

E-Depends on how icy it is today, we got freezing rain last night and snow this morning.

Have a safe and peaceful day!

I got a really good night of sleep last night, so I am feeling better today. Although my muscles in my hips/legs are sore for some reason.

QOTD: I'd probably waste it reading forum posts and Facebook and watching bad TV. The idea of not getting my solid 8 hours of sleep is scary to me. I go to bed at 10pm and get up at 5:30am and there isn't much deviation.

Food today so far has been a protein shake, yogurt w/ nuts, and a chicken breast. I think my friend is making pasta for dinner so I'll probably end up with another chicken breast instead and there might be a protein bar in there somewhere too.

Glad you got a better sleep Erin :) Will help with the healing

Your muscles may be sore from sitting, lying, and walking in different positions than usual. I assume you are bent over a bit (I had a TT and was, so I assume LBL would be the same)?

QOTD: I would probably pick up a part-time job.

Breakfast: Hard boiled eggs, coffee

Snack: Pita and hummus

Lunch: Chili

Snack: Greek yogurt

Dinner: Shrimp and veggies

Exercise: Circuit workout
