Robyn - I am in awe. I can't imagine being able to do that each day much less even consider doing more excersize once I got home.

I think maybe that is why I'm also so apprehensive about "working out" on my days off too. I'm beat from "working out" at my day job:rolleyes:

Problem is....it can at times be "aerobic", but most of the time just average activity....so I"m not really getting an aerobic workout through the week unless I push myself else where with actual "exercise" on my days off.....no way in heck I could go for a walk after work:omg:

It's no wonder nursing has one of the highest burn out rates:(

Ladies -

that buffalo dip is from a recipe book that a woman on OH sent to me. I have only made the dip so far, but it was DELICIOUS. Send me your emails and I will forward you a PDF of the recipe book. The oh woman is also on here sometimes, but I don't remember her username. Something like willowbas or willoweas or something.

SO yesterday I ended up not eating until dinner. I ordered a large salad, but only ate about 1/5 of it. I'm going to guesstimate that if you made a salad on a tea saucer, that's the size I had. Consisted of:

House basil vinegarette

Asparagus

Romaine

Iceberg

Wonton strips

Peruvian pulled chicken

Blue cheese

I also had 6 sweet potato chips with sugar/salt seasoning

And I had two of the tiny bite size Snickers!

Today I have had: nothing! I will have either some cold cut/cheese from a deli tray for lunch, or leftover chipotle sitting in the fridge. Not sure.

32 oz. Water (32)

Breakfast: 8-10 oz. Buffalo chicken Dip

24 oz Water (56)

24 oz water (80)

24 oz water (94)

Lunch: Shrimp fajita (no tortilla), sour cream, salsa, queso, black bean chips. Dessert: low-carb ice cream bar(6g)

24 oz water (118)

Exercise: 30 minutes Denise Austin Cardio Dance

24 oz water (142)

Dinner: Buffalo chicken Dip (spoon)*

Dessert: Another lc ice cream bar (6g)

24 oz water (166)

*Finished off the buffalo chicken dip. It is supposed to yield about 4 cups, and it lasted 4 meals, so I guess I'm eating about a cup of it every time.

I still have everything except the chicken, so I might make it again with canned chicken this time, and then eat it as a dip with pepperoni chips. that was my bright idea.

Okay gonna post tonight and then hit the hay ;) Just got home from working another long day.....

Breakfast: 1 cup dry honey nut cheerios, coffee with Creamer

Snack: 5 pieces of cubed cheese, and maybe 2 small bite sized pieces of summer sausage.

Lunch: 1/3 cup chili with cheese and 1 tbsp sour cream, 1/2 cup salad with ranch dressing, croutons, bacon bits, blue cheese, and sunflower seeds.

Snack #2: 3 oatmeal raisin Cookies (over the course of about 3 hours).

Dinner: None....too tired again:notagree

Water: No surprise....I would guesstimate 32 oz.

Exercise: Just walking again at work today, probably not quite as much as yesterday, but close.

That puts me at around 1006 cals for today and a measly 26 gms Protein.

Where's everyone else's posts? Come on people....spill it!!!:mad:

Breakfast: 1 slim fast milk chocolate peanut bar (exciting right?)

Lunch: chicken salad made with Warden's Farms 0 cal dressing instead of mayo on a pita (1/2 cup chicken salad on a pita)

Snack: 100 calorie Teddy Grahms pack

Dinner: 6 chicken wings, chicken burger with slice of cheese sm salad with cucumber and warden's farms 0 cal blue cheese dressing.

Dessert: 2 20 calorie lifesaver ice pops

10 bottles of Water (1/2 liter each for 5 liters of Water or 165oz)

Weird thought for the day, the pita is less calories then the tortilla wraps, but they seem to leave me more hungry later in the day. When I eat a tortilla wrap sandwich I don't seem to be hungry for much longer time.

Here's my day.

Breakfast - Protein Drink - 20oz Isopure

lunch - Deviled eggs - 4

dinner - Rice - 1 Heaping Tablespoon

- chicken - approx 1/4 cup

Snacks - M&M's - last handful

- Pepperoni - 8 slices

- graham cracker - half

w/Peanut Butter - 1 Tablespoon

Water - 24 oz (44 if you count the Protein drink)

Exercize - None (I know I know I can't expect the scale to keep moving if I don't get to moving myself.)

Funny thing about the Shredded chicken it was cooked by DH in skillet with Olive Oil and his "Secret" spices. My DH couldn't even boil Soup before surgery but has been forced to cook more and more over the year. Now he's even claiming rights to his own "Secret" spices. Priceless I tell you. Think he's getting tired of eating so much Cereal all those nights I either don't want to cook or don't cook enough.

Days like today are what (I think) are perhaps slowing my weightloss. That and time, of course! But today, I'm MAYBE at 300 calories. Maybe. Oh, add about 180 calories for a Protein Drink I forgot about. So still under 500 calories. Never felt hungry today, so to eat more than that I would have had to eaten when not hungry, or go beyond satisifed. *sigh*

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
