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... ♥️

Well, my stay on the throne lasted about 40 minutes, so it wasn't what I'd call "immediate", lol. But once what seemed like my insides were COMPLETELY empty, I def felt better.

Damn!!! ((hugs)) Well most importantly, drop us a pre-poop weight and a post-poop weight. Bahahahaha! And if you missed it this time, remember...before losing it, always. ALWAYS. Step on the scale first for your b/a reading. Hahahahahahaha. Yes, swearsies. I actually do this. I will just say, sometimes...I impress myself. Ha!

Do you feel better today?

much better thanks, can't wait to get home and eat my "breakfast" as I'm actually feeling hungry (probably cuz of the unfortunate stomach emptying last night)

Yay!!!! I just finished my brekky. Had a lovely egg and turkey sausage foldover.

It's this minus the arugula and ham. I added the JD precooked turkey sausage crumbles and I'm out of fresh veg lol, so doing uber low carb this week until I can go HEBing.

DInner was a marathon. My dinner-companions already finished their meals & desserts and were on their second cups of coffee while I was still working on my salmon. Fortunately they are all used to my snail-paced eating so it was all good.

July 22: 388 calories, 30g carbs, 19.5g fat, 37.4g Protein.

Alrighty, so I knew I was going out to an all-you-can-eat (self-cooking) Korean BBQ for dinner tonite, so I basically saved my day's calories for this meal...which sort of backfired as I didn't eat as many calories as I anticipated I would. (All amounts are approximate as I didn't have a scale on me )

1: coffee + stevia sweetener (2 cals)
2: 1 oz grilled shrimp + 1 oz grilled chicken + 2oz Kalbi (short ribs) + 1oz grilled pork loin + 1oz grilled pork belly + 1 tbsp kimchi + probably 2 tbsp of added sugar in the various meat marinades (386 cals) (btw, got all this food in over a 2.5hour period.)

Is this Korean BBQ, sounds delicious! Im happy to hear you can eat kimchi. Gives me hope for the future lol If it was ok to replace every meal with a bowl of it I would do it lol

Following! Everyone has such amazing meal ideas!

I eat either Kimchi or raw sauerkraut/veggie ferments daily for my gut healing. They are a great source of pre-biotic fiber.

Ok, well yesterday was a good day but when I ate, I ate a LOT. So want to work on quantities per meal today. It's a constant dance, isn't it? And as you'd know it, my gut is still acting up. I've gone from one extreme to the other now. So am gonna have to look into TNT or dynomite or something soon. LOL.

Korean BBQ is in my top 3 of eating-out-cusines: all protein, all the time! lol. Plus, I can take over the BBQ-ing duties since I don't eat much, plus it makes the fact that I don't eat much less obvious, plus I can actually eat warm/hot food for the entire meal! Win-win-win. ?

Kimchi: YUM.

At a KB place, can you choose as the cook, how much if any sauce to apply?

Haha, it was part hungry heifer (because of my empty insides from the dumping the day before) and part a concentrated effort to get calories in. MFP says I only averaged 1000/day calories last week, which is a relatively big drop from my 1500 average the couple weeks before (though I still didn't get in as much as I wanted yesterday...will try again today).

You can choose the type of protein, either marinated or un-marinated. They also supply sauces on the side, which you can add before cooking or after. Like i said, WIN-WIN-WIN, lol

TY. I'd love to go but Mr. F. has fearsome allergies to asian food...some kind of preservative in the sauces. So if I can do a no frills version for him, and a frills version for me...well WIN-WIN-WIN fo'shizzles!!! Asian's "back on the table" then.
