What's on your Menu Today (Tuesday) RNYers?

Do you have a thermometer? Because the Sous Vide is great but if you get the water to 172, that's all you need! I'm sure it will be more even and better with it circulating perfectly and keeping the temp even, but I bet if you try it, you can get a good approximation:)

Morning Menu Crew! Aw Daisy/ I am so sorry you're not sleeping well. I think Karen's suggestion of meditation and melatonin might help. Good luck with it and I really hope you find a solution soon. 

This is my last week off work and as Monday was a holiday it's going to fly by. I've lost 39.8 lbs as of this morning with 13 of that from pre-op. I'm feeling good. I have a bunch of stuff I want to get done around the house this week so I need to make a list and start tackling it today. 

Menu today:

Fuzzy Peach protein drink (Thank you Daisy!)

Lunch - Peanut Butter cookie protein shake. I don't usually have 2 protein shakes a day but I mixed this one up for the drive home yesterday and hubby buried the cooler with stuff so I wasn't able to get it. 

Dinner- I'm not sure yet. But maybe chicken. Have you guys ever checked out the Bariatric Eating website? There are a lot of great recipes on there. 

Have a great day!

Thank you for the idea of Bariatric Eating website! Have never seen it before but am checking it out now and it looks very good :)

Hi Daizymom!  Can you share the fuzzy peach recipe? 

I will be going back to work soon too. I'm getting a little worried about not having the prep time and not being at home if something doesn't agree with me.

 I'm also disappointed with how little I feel I accomplished with my time off.  I really wanted to get more housework done, more things organized.  There just doesn't seem to be enough time. 

I'm guessing that she is talking about this protein drink Fuzzy Peach

It's some yummy stuff!

Actually it is Fuzzy Navel and it's just a syntrax protein drink that you can mix with water. :) 

I think the name is fuzzy navel and it is one of my favorites too. Only one I found that tastes good on water. One of my favorite ways to make it is 1 cup plain kefir (Trader Joe's) fuzzy navel, vanilla extract, extra sweetener, ice. Tastes like an Orange Julius 

Sorry you are having a rough time with sleep. That is the worst. In my arsenal of sleep helpers is children's chewable benadryl or a generic. Benadryl is the ingredient in like Tylenol PM that is the sleep part. It is a smaller dose that the adult dose, so you can customize it..one to four. Leave it in the nightstand chew it and let it dissolve in your mouth. It gets into your system quicker,,,

QOTD: When I am feeling 'off' and depends on what kinda off- I pray meditate, contemplate life. I try to get things in order in my life, sometimes in the physical realm- the mail, the house...somehow when that is in order life seems more peaceful even if it is out of whack somewhere else...and I am a talker, I talk to my friends..or as I say 'think outloud' because sometimes in talking to others I hear my answers.

B: Coffee, yogurt, hard boiled eggs

L: Protein Drink

D: With an OH peep! Food TBD...In DC now :)

snacks: carrots, maybe another protein drink, bar

Yesterday I took a 2 hour hike at Great Falls MD side... some of it was really rocky terrain, I was in over my head but had fun. Did turn abck with the sign said 'Warning steep precipices ahead, many people get injured every year"

I love this picture! You look very happy, healthy and rested. Yay for another OH meetup! Pics please! 

What a great pic!
