Lisa said- What kind of green tea do you drink now? Tell me about the one from Starbucks, what does it have in it and is it hot or cold? What does it taste like?
Susy said- Starbucks...Yummy! My new addiction! Lately I've been indulging in Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino. Sometimes tall and sometimes Venti, minus whip. There sweet, milk shake like and yummy. Just skip the whip cream an
d save up to a 100 plus calories. Green tea lightly sweetened with a hint of melon and milk, blended powder with ice and blended. Takes me forever to drink and the sugars in this have never bothered me. Maybe cause it lasts me hours.Tall Green Tea Frappuccino 120z

Starbucks also has Chai Green tea that's pretty good. At home I make a (not so sweet) hot green tea. I've been drinking Tazo Green tea tip
s. I add sweetener and it's yummy and something wonderful to wrap my hands around. Still not coffee but not bad at all.
Lisa said- What is a typical menu like for you now each day?
Susy said- If your wondering what I eat 2 years post op I will post that here today. I know I still enjoying reading what Amber, Melting mama and others eat and how things are for them after some years have past. So for that reason I will post what I ate on Wed. Each day and meal is different. What went down well yesterday might not agree so well the next meal.
BREAKFAST
6am - My OJ yogurt protein drink
8:30am- 1/2 cup of oatmeal
1/2 apple cut up with cinnamon and sweetener

6am - My OJ yogurt protein drink
8:30am- 1/2 cup of oatmeal
1/2 apple cut up with cinnamon and sweetener
SNACK
1 protein ball with 1/2 cup of acid free coffee
LUNCH
1/2 (6 inch) ham and turkey sub from Subway. Lettuce and tomato's only. I still tear off the top half of the bread. So I'm really eating a open faced 6 inch Subway sandwich. I love there salads there too and I usually can't finish there salad but I can put a hell of a dent in salads.
CANDY CANE fix through out the day. I've been eating the tiny candy canes. the ones like santa gives you when you visit him. I must eat
6 small candy canes each day till gone. LOL My chihuahua Rufus tells me to. :) He loves candy canes too so we share! And I also remember putting 2 long pretzel sticks in my mouth around 4ish.
DINNER
One burrito size soft taco. I cut off 1/3 of the tortilla. 7% lean ground beef, tomato's, cheese, sour cream. Wrap it up....eat! I did not finish it.
SNACK
big mistake. 1 strawberry pop tart. blah Bad idea. Made me feel sick. Went to bed early because of that pop tart. Too much sugar for me. I took 1/2 hour to pick at it and eat it, but blah!
My hubby loves watching me pick apart foods. I tear bread in half, pick, push and make it work for me now. I still think about the "big" picture and what is going into my mouth calorie wise. I really believe I can never look away again. What that means to me is not to turn away from the scale and to pay attention to what is going into my mouth...FOREVER, not just today but forever. I'm never going to tell myself again the dryer is shrinking my pants. You know...face the truth, be real. Work this tool that I have been given the best I can- without REGRET! I'm not perfect but I want so bad not to disappointed myself through this journey and my life. Enough sadness, it's time for happiness and real smiles in my life. And that I have found!
There you go Lisa! Anytime, anything for you! I do that again soon for you all.

I enjoyed your honesty about what you ate.
I think lots of post ops aren't honest with themselves about it. They figure that a few M & M's here and there don't count. I say eat what you want, but make sure you take into account your protein levels and calories.
You rock!
Susy:
First, great blog. Kudos for all your hard work. I was reading your post as to what you eat. I am scheduled for the Gastric bypass on 1/7/09. Today, is the first day of the rest of my life (my liquid diet). I was wondering what exactly is a protein ball?
Merry Christmas
