Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[Momofthing1thing2thing3 116]

We're going to have to pack our lunches. Lunchmeat (turkey or chicken) and cheese rollups, Beans with cheese, cottage cheese with french dressing (my fave!), fruit, even packs of oatmeal. No one said you can't have Breakfast for lunch. Oh, and egg salad, or tuna salad or a fiesta salad with beans, tomatoes, corn, shredded carrots and cheese, maybe some cholula or salsa. I think I'm going to get one of those better lunch boxes that hold cold stuff longer. Not the crappy ones I get at Walmart for my kids. Last thing I need is food poisoning cause my egg salad or turkey got warm...ewww.

I think it's time for lunch!

I;ve been packing my lunch. Lots of lunchmeats and chicken salad. Green Beans too. Cottage cheese or yogurt for mid-day snack. I bought some of the reusable things you freeze to keep things cold. Works great! Rubbermaid has 1/2 cup containers that I use - perfect was to measure - without measuring

Going out to lunch with co-workers for the first time on Friday. We're going to a cajun seafood place so I know I can get boiled shrimp and asparagus. Yum Yum!

Just wanted to let you know that Ocean Spray also makes individual packets to add to your Water. Cran-lemonade, Cran-grape and white cranberry peach. All sugar free and very good. Only thing that is helping with my liquids right now. Have gotten them at Walmart.< /p>

Okay, what are these 1/2 cup rubbermaid containers? Where did you get them? Do you have a link to them? I like having things that are pre-measured.

Mine have red lids - LOL. I got mine at Target - I like using them because I can fill with cottage cheese, yogurt, whatever - and know it's 1/2 cup/4 oz. Or fill 1/2 way and know I'm getting (close enough to) 2 oz of meat (shredded chicken, tuna, meatloaf, etc.). They also fit really well in my cute little lady bug lunch "box." I couldn't find a Partridge Family lunch box (that's the last one I remember having in grade school )

I'm looking forward to lunch out with co-workers on Friday. We're going to a cajun seafood restaurant - shrimp and asparagus here it come!!!

[Momofthing1thing2thing3 116]

I think my NUT is crazy. She wants me getting at least 120 carbs per day. I think she's out of her mind. That many carbs doesn't work well for everyone. Especially those of us who were very sensitive to carbs before our surgeries...I was. I was on Metformin 2x a day. Now I'm not and I'd like to keep it that way.

She's crazy. It be raining crazy NUTs in here!

So I had my one month post-op visit and I am down 24 pounds total since my sleeve on 9/17. It was funny because the PA said I was the 3rd female she saw just today and all three of us were one month out and all three of us were down 24 pounds. How funny is that? Anyway, I am happy. She said that by my 3 month checkup in Dec that I should have lost 20-30 more pounds. And I am cleared for all foods now! Yippeeee!!!!!!! I ate Boston Market for lunch. It's great...can order a kids meal for $4.29. Tried a few bites of meat loaf and mashed potatoes. Stayed away from the corn bread. And drank milk for my kiddie drink. Then tonight we had a busy night so I got a cheese pizza at costco for the kids. I ate about 5-6 small bites of that....yumm-o!!!! I feel like a human again. And it has been such a busy day that I am just going to absolutely crash tonight on that li'l pillow of mine. G'Night from Texas.
