What cha eating today, VSGers? - Friday

Ooh that sound GOOD!! Maybe some pintos and cheese.

If you can post the menu or link to it, We can give you our 2 cents worth on what you should order... And eat vicariously through you LOL 

LOL, I should have. I actually wound up not going to that main place because I was almost having one of those 'attacks' I have been getting and trying to find out what is wrong. Its like a gallbladder attack because of stones but, I don't have that anymore! The doc thinks its 1. still a stone trying to pass that's stuck, or 2. my insides are getting twisted. I assume it isn't #2 because if it was, why would he not have me doing tests ASAP? I got bloodwork done Sat AM so hopefully that will show whats up.

B: Protein bar with high Fiber today (yay)

L: Shredded Beef with pepper jack, lettuce, spinach

D: Burger on the grill (no bun) and beans

S: Maybe protein trail mix, P3 pack or Pure Protein Crunch

W: on track (tried a new hot tea that I DID NOT like... tasted sweet... ick! (back to hot green jasmine tea)

V: am's in, pm's later

Goal for today, Sell more of the fluffy clothes to get closer to getting a winter jacket and boots!

I'm really struggling with my eating schedule. I leave for work a little before 7 which I've decided is too early to eat. I don't really feel like eating then, but I have an hour drive to work and I can't really eat once I get to work, so I tend to eat while I'm driving, which ends up being crackers and cheese. I think I get too many calories, too many carbs and not enough protein. Then, I eat lunch around 11:30 but then I feel like eating again by 3 or so. And then I make bad choices and eat things I shouldn't on my hour drive home. I really need to do a better job.

B: cheese and crackers

L: chicken wings

D: I don't know yet

Trying to refrain from snacking. I do so much better when I eat right because the cravings and snacking feelings go away.

Thanks for listening!

Yummy ... your meals sound so good.  I am on full liquids until Monday.  My menu is Unjury chicken soup, Oikos Zero, light lemonade, water, and protein shakes.  Yikes!

I'm probably one of the worst on regain- got up as high as 241 from my low of 145.  I've lost 12 pounds since getting back on plan on 15OCT(@ approx. 234).  Weighing, eliminating carbs, and increasing protein.  It's hard to remember what I used to eat that was high in protein and low in carbs...

Got my labs back today and Im really low on iron even with the iron supplement i take. I may need to start adding in some red meat to help. Glucose was 88 for me and that was after eating most of the day and having a snack before I went for the blood draw since i didnt have to fast for it. Beginning to think my lightheadedness could be a combo of the two. I did not have diabetes before surgery although i was getting close. My fasting glucose for my pre-op lab work was 106. 

B: 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese

S: 3 slices hard salami with Sargento ultra thin cheddar cheese

L: 3 ounces chicken

S: 10 M&M's. Was feeling lightheaded again and wanted to see if something sugary would help

D: Turkey bean chili with a sprinkle of cheese

S: orgain organic protein shake

Vits: DOne

Water: Almost done

Exercise: walked on my lunch break, No exercise tonight since I'm Uber driving to make some extra Christmas money

I was getting light-headed A LOT, and finally talked to my cardiologist who said I had low blood pressure and he suggested I eat more salt. This made me happy! and It helped.  I probably struggled with the dizziness for 6 to 9 months.  But it finally passed and I don't have any problems with in anymore. 

I hope yours passes as well.
