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.

Just remembered I puked 2 times yesterday so maybe some of the calories dont count ; )

I know it may not be nice to laugh at this, but I totally did.

More times that I care to remember, I have meticulously measured and entered my food data, only to barf it up or projectile poop it out later.

I too have also wondered how this affects my EOD macros count...?

Dont have much of a menu to post. Most of what I ate came back up. I spent most of Saturday sleeping (@ms.sss I guess I slept for both of us), but still not feeling better. If I dont feel better by this afternoon will take a trip to urgent care. Trying to stay positive, The 1 plus of being sick is the scale going down lol!

Yay for closing in on the mid 160's!

Boo for being sick. Get more rest! Drink lots of fluids!

Sending you good vibes....❤️

Hoping to get some answers at tomorrow's appointment as to why I've been feeling so bad. Strangely the scale said 171 this morning which is 5 lbs up in 2 days where I haven't really eaten much so either scale is broken or I'm retaining fluid like crazy.

It's definitely fluid. No way you can gain 5lbs or real fat in 2 days.

I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but: drink more water, it'll help with the fluid retention. ❤️

Let us know now the appt goes!

I had a serious sugar meltdown yesterday (read: ice cream & cookies). I KNOW a big part of this is because I did not log as I ate yesterday...I stopped in the afternoon. Normally I would have a visual on MFP of how much I have eaten, and, more often than not, I would put that cookie or whatever away once I saw how much I already ate so far. I generally had the attitude of "whatever...I'm probably so far in the hole today, I'll just throw today out the window". Also I had several cookies before noon, and that probably set the tone for the day.

Now, I logged everything I ate from memory this morning, and oh man, I really did throw everything out the window.

Anyhoo...I'm dedicated to getting back to my anal logging self this morning, Onwards and upwards.

Hella embarrassing, I walk in to my appointment fasting and full bladder only to find out my appointment is on Thursday!!! Sad to have to wait another 2 days to get some answers. I still have no appetite and crazy pain. This is ongoing for a week already *sigh* it is what it is ...
