Dunkin' Donuts is my Postop Friend?!



Recommended Posts

I was actually looking into trying their coffee drinks and was looking for sugar free flavors. I decided to peruse through their menu and came across a tasty, Protein high, reasonable carbs, and portion friendly Breakfast.

It took me about an hour to finish it. And it was yum!

I don't plan to make it a daily or even weekly event. But it's nice to know a decent Breakfast on the fly isn't limited to a Protein bar!

Wake-Up Wrap:

Yes, whodda thunk it? Some of the places you would think would be post op suicide can actually be some of our best friends!

Starbucks for example, they have a egg white, spinach and feta breakfast wrap. Un wrap it from the tortilla and you have Protein nirvana! Yummy too!

McDonalds, grilled chicken ceasar salad, same exact salad, every time, every place down to the 4, yes exactly 4 cherry tomatoes. Great lunch, I eat the chicken and .5 oz of shredded parm, the 4, exactly 4 tomatoes and I am good to go.

Did I mention, they have 4, exactly 4 of those little cherry tomatoes in every grilled chicken ceasar salad, every day in every McDonalds? I think I want the job of Tomato quality inspector for them. I can count to 4! :D

I guess it goes to show if we look just a little, healthy stuff have been among us for sometime.

I made my own version of Dunkin Donuts' wrap this morning. Mine had 50 or 60 more calories but more than double the Protein and about half the carbs. It was yummy!

I don't weigh myself often but I'm down a total of 79 lbs as of a week ago this past Saturday. Next weigh in is this coming Saturday. I need to get measured ago too. Down from a 28 jeans to a 24, sometimes a snug 22.

I grilled some chicken thighs and artichokes yesterday in a Mediterranean marinade. The only thing it lacked was feta.

Yep. People like to demonize one place over others or whatever but the reality is you can get something reasonable almost anywhere, we just don't.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
