Eatin' Good in the 20's Neighborhood - SUPER TUESDAY

I'm posting early because as of 6pm (about 45 minutes from now) I am banishing myself from the internet for the rest of the night.  I MUST finish my assignment for my Advanced Writing class that is due tomorrow.  I MUST.  Classes might get called off tomorrow considering we're expecting 6-9 inches of snow tonight (!) - but it isn't going to write itself so I may as well get to it.  I hate snow.  Blech. 8:30am - 4 oz espresso, 6 oz skim milk, 1 oz sf davinci vanilla syrup, a dollup of cool whip 10 oz water 11am - 1 ka****LC honey almond flax granola bar 20 oz water 2pm - 20 red grapes and 1/2 cup of dry kashi go lean cereal (take THAT Oprah!  The line they use over and over on her show is how post-ops can only eat 6 grapes...I ate 20 ) 20 oz water 5pm - 1/2 a cup of almonds and 20 more grapes I plan on having some meat tonight - probably a chicken taco - gotta get my protien up.  Okay, 30 more minutes and I am 100% dedicated to homework...wish me luck!

I figure I'm still fairly far into pre-op but I might as well go ahead and start posting.  At least it will keep me accountable as to what it is I'm eating right now! B- Bad, yes, very bad.  Nothing.  Me and the Nut discussed it... I HAVE to eat BF! 32oz water L- 1/2 garlic/herb wrap ingredients: smk turkey, provolone, lettuce, ff ranch, tomotoes;  1 pickle spear 32oz water D- Will happen when I get off work...  guessing Chicken, of the baked sorts.  Will be at Mom's (She is a post-op!)

I am nearly 18 months post op and I am still learning to eat breakfast!  I am trying though.

That is great to hear!  I am so bad at it

You'll notice that most days I just drink some kind of coffee concoction with milk for breakfast.  It is hard for me to eat in the morning too - just getting calories and some kind of protien is what is important.  Just keep working at it and it'll get easier as time goes on.

B-Cheese stick (I agree with it being hard to eat in the am ) 8oz skim milk L-4 peices of Hormel pepperoni, 3 wheat crackers and a cheese stick 16.9oz bottle water S-100 calorie bag of baked cheetohs(I cant help it..these are just good..and easy on the pouch) D-whole wheat grain blueberry muffin(moms homemade with peanut butter and lots of banana...they are the BEST muffins Ive had in my LIFE!!  Totally healthy and very low on carb and cal's..no sugar added!!), 1/4 cup cottage cheese and a few green beans Im having 10oz of milk right now...lol I m loving my milk. I am considering on having a couple peices of pepperoni or another muffin for a later snack while Im reading the 3rd book in the Twilight series "Eclipse"!!!!!

Getting better... Ive been working out over 2 weeks now and the scale has gone up some, as of today it started sliding back down... I am keeping my fingers crossed it wont go back up again and it will continue to go back down. Currently I have 5lbs to go to reach my new goal... or a few inches to reach a size 8! I have been doing excellent with sticking to my workout plan and have been feeling much stronger in my arms and legs! Woo B - TJs english muffin, Egg White patty, 1 slice of turkey bacon sammich S - 10 raw almonds L - 2 pieces of melba toast with tuna fish. My BF made the tuna and it was too dry so immediately it felt like a rock in my stomach... I had to stop eating.  L - take two.... I waited 45 minutes and ate again....

I am still working on getting the veggies in... I have just been anti-veggie lately. UGH I just remembered I forgot my edamame today too! *******!
