A thread for Maintainers to share our daily menus!

(This thread is a spin-off from another thread I started that was open to all people at different stages. Meant to start this one specifically for Maintainers a while back, but am just now getting around to it )

Same format applies: 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.

Yes I’m designated driver too. I usually order from app menu or just side dish if it has Protein. Many times everyone pays for me to offset gas- don’t mean bodily gas as that is discussed a lot from Bariatric family!

A bottle of gas x would be a nice gesture from your drinking friends *laughing* How far out are you?

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaat???? Seriously?

First time in the years I’ve been at my gym to have this awkward moment *

Total stranger said he could help me lose my midsection. If he thought this was a pickup line, he was dead wrong. I posted about this in the rant section. My husband still thinks it's hilarious.

Surgery was 9/23. I have controlled asthma but just got bronchial asthma. Has to get steroid shot yesterday. My weight from yesterday to today is 4 lbs up! I have never gained before. Hoping it is steroid & will come off when better

Congratulations, you are almost 3-months out. Sorry that you are dealing with asthma issues, Steroids are notorious for weight fluctuations, Right?

Keep plugging away the scale will move. *hugs*

Had terrible insomnia last night, This is going to be a fun day!!

I love that you obviously like spicy eats!

I also love some kick in my food, but I notice that have lost some of my tolerance for heat post op for some reason. Also, if I have too much I now get a bit of indigestion (didn't before ).

Has your tolerance changed at all post op? Or did it stay the same?

5 pounds in less than a month. I think my motivation is in a good place.

I had a guy in the gym tell me he could help me lose my midsection. (NOT a compliment) I love to prove people wrong. A bit of anger motivates me. My diet is more disciplined and I changed up my exercise.

My big motivation. New year’s gown.

Please, please, can we see you in it?!?!?!??!

I'm thinking 32g of Miralax may have been overly ambitious this morning...

Let's just say I think I found the secret to the mysterious involving slow downs on the #2 tracks up North. And I'm pretty certain Loch Ness might have also been sighted this morning.

And I'm 2.6lbs down but who's counting. Right?

Um, yes...I normally take around 20-25...and yes, it's my super power.

Today I kinda over poured but didn't think twice cuz you know...all the late trains etc this week...

Actually my tolerance for heat did go down PO. But I wasn't sure if it had to do with wls. It wouldn't seem so from my menu, but trust me I used to drown all my food in Frank's red hot Lol

@ms.sss what's your favorite hot sauce?
