Good Morning all. I've been MIA lately and missed posting my food. I've been busy coordinating a Fall Fashion Expo for the hospital where I work, it was a great success with 15 participants who were all patients and 4 bariatric surgeons represented. Really confidence boosting for all participants

B: usual, plain non fat greek yogurt w/berries and little bit of granola
L: either turkey chili or packet of sweet & spicy tuna on salad. Not feeling well, bad sinusitis and earache
D: chili if I don't eat it for lunch otherwise chicken w/fresh tomatoes and chick pea pasta baked together with melted cheese (yummy leftover)
S: yasso bar, Smores light and fit yogurt or WW chocolate brownie (depends on what time I go to bed as I got up at 5 AM for a 7 AM meeting at the hospital)

Hope all are well and everyone has a great day!!

I feel like I'm eating a lot of food, but I'm tracking on MFP and keeping around 1000 cals. But I see what other people are eating in a day, I feel like a big piggie! Here's what I've had today so far and plan on having a salad for dinner...under 400 cals and 35 gms protein, and I've had 9 cups of fluids so far.

Update (like anyone cares, lol): I couldn't even come close to eating that whole salad....maybe a fifth of it. Still, got 80 gms of protein fir the day"
