I'm starting this thread for those of us who want to post our daily food intake. I, for one, am more accountable when I write things down. Even though some days I completely suck, I still like the idea of keeping myself honest.
If you'd prefer to post what you ate today (instead of yesterday), you can do that too. Anything goes!
If you can remember, please also post how far out you are, unless you have it in your signature. Because of course, the eating difference between someone 1 month out, 6 months out, several years out, etc are significant.
So here we go, peeps...
Yesterday was a very untypical day for me. I took a vacation day off work, and slept in until almost noon.
So of course, I slept right through the breakfast hours. The hubby and I then left the house for the remainder of the day.
Before leaving home - 2 Fire Roasted Tomato & Olive Oil Triscuit crackers.
Late lunch/early dinner at TGI Friday's - I ordered the 12 oz Jack Daniels New York Strip steak. (Which, by the way, completely sucked. It was overdone, dry, and gristly.) I had about 1/3 of the steak (4 oz), 3 small onion rings, about 1/8 cup of cooked mushrooms, and about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes.
After a bit of shopping, we stopped at Sam's Club. The sample people were out in full force, as typical for a weekend. I bypassed most of them, but did have an wedge of orange.
We then stopped at an Italian grocery store, where they have sample bowls of broken biscotti at the bakery. In my warped mind, broken biscotti does not have any calories, lol. I had a tiny piece, about 1" x 2".
Late dinner after arriving at home - 1/3 cup of antipasta (from the Italian grocer).
Late evening snack - 50 pistachios (I bought a 5 lb bag at the Italian grocer).
Even later evening snack - 2 SF creamsicles
Late, late evening snack - 8 jumbo olives, stuffed with aged cheese (damn the Italian grocer for selling this delicacy to me, lol).
Water/calorie free beverages: 48 oz.
Vitamins: Yes
Exercise: None, except chewing!
Overall, this was a pretty bad day for me. I didn't even come close to getting my protein in. I didn't drink enough, and I snacked entirely too much. I didn't eat breakfast either, but since I slept through it, I'm not counting that transgression.
edit: I'm 8 1/2 months post-op.
