A thread for us to share our daily menus!

To help keep things in perspective for everyone, let's try to note our height & weight (or BMI), gender, weight-status & how far out we are post-op (unless this is already stated in your side profile )

Post as little or as much info as you want. If you track macros, feel free to share your protein, fat, & carb details...if all you feel like saying is you had a really yummy taco, that's cool too.

EDIT: Anyone can play! VSG, RNY, DS, etc... ♥️

those Quest chips are pretty good!

I read good reviews for these Quest chips. But I haven't been able to bring myself to spend $4 CAD on a teeny tiny bag yet...

Good to know in a pinch!! But you could also just get iced decaff black coffee there and pour in your own Premier Protein shake that you carry with you!

I haven't been able to stomach those anymore lol i've found i enjoy the fair life, they're just like chocolate milk and did put them in a double shot of iced espresso, so yummy lol

Too many carbs for me. I love my Premier shakes, but I do confess that I never drink them straight. In coffees and teas they are just perfect amounts of sweetness without having 4 or 5 added carbs on top what they already have. Glad you found something you like!

Yes. I used to completely avoid PP bc is was so over the top sweet, but adding to iced coffee and milk I can have them. Plus now I’m feeling better about the fact that I’ve got a protein boost from them

They completely extinguish when I crave Lay's or Pringles, and also take care of my tortilla chip fixes.

So far I’ve been lucky and pork rinds satisfy that need for me.
Fingers crossed that continues

Back from another impromptu road trip, with some unrestrained eating...surprised to have maintained my weight more or less, I was totally prepared for a gain due to the food choices I've been making the past few days.

Feel like I'm eating when I'm not hungry these days. Its been like, it's there, I'm not trying to lose weight, why not, lemme eat it. I don't want to make this eating-when-not-hungry a normal thing, so am going to consciously cut back on all the non-hungry snacking for the next few days and see if that makes any difference...

Also spoiler alert...didn't do the 10K this morning

Ok, so I implemented a don't-eat-unless-hungry strategy yesterday to curb what I thought was an increase in unnecessary snacking lately, but it looks like I need the snacking, as I ended up with too few calories by day's end. *sigh*.
