What's on the menu today, RNY-ers
Greetings from sunny CA, everyone! Apparently we had an earthquake early this morning and I was sleeping like a baby! I'm having a great day-had a few people comment I'm looking good - and I am also wearing a shirt that hasn't fit since maybe last May :)
Love seeing what you're eating and here is what's on my menu today:
Time since surgery: 4 weeks, 2 days
B: scrambled eggs and 2 slices of bacon
L: maybe 2oz of fajita chicken with a tiny bit of cheese and avocado
S: decaf coffee with half of a premier protein shake added in
D: we are going to a seafood restaurant so I will eat 3oz of fish
tell me what's on your menu!
Breakfast - protein shake
Snack - apple slices with almond butter
Lunch - apple slices with almond butter
Snack - Greek yogurt
Dinner - about one and a half slices of pizza
Snack - I'm thinking a protein shake because lunch and one of my snacks were kind of low in protein and my dinner wasn't real high in protein either, just the cheese on the pizza. I do have leftover pizza but I think I will save that for tomorrow. I do not need to eat pizza twice in one day. Plus I am going to be full for a while now.

It's my new favorite food. I went shopping a few days ago because I needed to get some healthy stuff in the house because I'd been eating much starchy carby stuff, like cereal. I needed to get that stuff out of the house and fill up the house with yummy stuff that is better for me. I hadn't bought almond butter in a long time because it's just so expensive. But I bought some and some apples and it is just super yummy. And very filling. It takes a while to eat, and there is lots of chewing involved, and the protein and good fat in the almond butter makes me feel full for a long time.
Also, I do this with food sometimes. I will decide something is my very favorite and eat it a lot - I mean A LOT - for a while, then I get tired of it and don't want it again for a long time. As long as it's something healthy, I just go with it.

You can buy a bag of 15 beans or 13 beans mixed. You don't have to buy 15 separate bags of beans.

Fiber was the idea behind the 15 bean soup for sure... lol! ...but I discovered 15-bean soup by accident in the dry bean section. It's a bag with all the different kinds already mixed up in it. There were brands that had no seasonings, and one that had Cajun seasonings. Of course I got that one. Pretty yummy. I like indian/middle eastern food, and so I added a bunch of curry also. Satisfies that crave for flave.
The chicken parmesan is really no deal, just barely any bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese dusted on really thinly sliced chicken breast, and pan fried in a teaspoon of olive oil. It was so good, I didn't even want any marinara on it.
