Nothing...well I'll explain:

B - Fritata 1 oz. before it all came back up

L - Soup w/shrimp, mushroom, and coconut milk (ended up giving me bad cramps and diarhea)

So as of right now, just my liquids since nothing is staying down today. Oh well, there's hope for dinner. Want to have some baked fish...let's hope that stays down.

Exactly one month!

B: Vanilla Chai made with 4 oz 1% milk, stevia, 12 oz unsweetened homebrewed black chai tea, 1/2 tsp vanilla paste and a scoop of ON Gold Standard whey (vanilla ice cream flavor). Yum!

L: 1.5 oz ham, 1 T. blue cheese, 1 T. white balsamic dressing, 2 T. golden beets, 1 T brown rice, 3 slices gala apple, 1 T. cabbage (took me about 45 minutes to eat this)

S: .5 oz homemade beef jerky, 1 oz parmesan (made into a crisp), 6 quinoa crackers.

D: 1/2 c chili with cheese, 1/4 c "drunken apples"

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using VST

Maintenance mode. Weight: 133.6 (think that was a fluke; it was 136.5 yesterday)

B: 2 oz. 98% FF ham, then about an hour later 1/4 c. oats with 1/2 peach and 1/2 c. soy milk, drank another 1/2 c. soy milk before eating oats.

L: 3 oz. lean ground beef, 2 hawaiian rolls, 1.5 T. mayonnaise (I cut the rolls into thirds and make three sliders), salad of 1/3 c. lettuce, 1/4 avocado, 5 cherry tomatoes, 1/4 c. cucumber, green onion, and 2 T. light ranch dressing

D: Turkey pot pie (1/8 of a pie crust, 2 oz. turkey, 1/3 c. corn, carrots, peas, and onions, 1/6 can cream of chicken soup, 2 T. milk

S: 1/4 mango, 30 grams Special K chocolate cereal

Today was kind of a strike out on lunch. I did not have time to prepare anything, so heated up an Atkins chicken Alfredo and brocolli from the freezer. Made me want to throw up after eating about 1/2. Darn you processed beast!! Typically, I am eating fresh chicken and brocolli, ala paleo diet. Warning to all of you. Breakfast and snack were protein shake / chia seeds and left over shredded buffalo chicken / cucumber, respectively.

For breakfast I tried the bariatric funnel cake recipe here. I didn't have Carbquik so I made it with Bob's Red Mill low carb baking mix, but that was a mistake. That mix is much too hearty and thick. I ended up making a jacked-up pancake. But that mix does have a good amount of protein and I got 18 grams from my "funnel cake". For lunch I had zucchini julienned into noodles with italian sausage, garlic and drizzled tomato sauce. For dinner I plan on having something new, chicken, spinach, onions and peppers wrapped in flatout foldit multigrain flax flatbread. For my evening snack a mozzarella cheese stick probably.

Maintenance mode. Weight 134.3 this morning. Last night I ate an additional snack of 1 oz. mixed pretzels and cheese its and 2 small squares of dark chocolate.

B: 2 oz. 98% FF ham and 3 fresh prunes, then about an hour later 3/4 C. Fage 0 with 1/2 cup Kashi Crunch Cereal

L: Italian stir fry (2.5 oz. lean ground beef, handful of spinach, 1/4 c. red peppers, 1/4 c. green beans, 2 cherry tomatoes, 1/2 c. whole grain pasta, 1 tsp. olive oil, basil), one See's orange hard candy

S: 2 oz. low fat salami and 1 oz. Special K crackers

D: Left-over Turkey Pot Pie (1/8 of a pie crust, 2 oz. turkey, 1/3 c. corn, carrots, peas, and onions, 1/6 can cream of chicken soup, 2 T. milk

I'm guessing the quick carbs from pasta, candy and bananas are the source of your hunger. But either way it's normal, I have days where I could skip eating all together and days where I'm hungry every hour or two.
