STEAK N SHAKE PICS

when these pics were taken i was still trying to figure out how much i could eat, and had no idea about calorie allotment, in all the preperation up to my surgery, discussion about calorie intake had never happened.

i was still VERY highly in tune with the idea that i had to have as much protein as possible.

so at steak n shake they have (or had) a burger that was 2 patties, of chopped beef (very heavy with fat, you can tell) and an egg on the top of it.
i had decided to try my hardest to NOT consume any Carbs since my surgery. so i asked for this to be ...bunless.

and it came that way.
oh, AND bacon, just that much more protein.

i have since been back to my bariatirc facility and been enlightened and told my caloric intake should be between 800- 1000 cals for a day.  pretty sure this bad boy has over half of that allotment. but is it ever good!


i also had the unique chance to have a husband take some pics of me.

ENJOY!

OUT TO EAT AT STEAK-N-SHAKE

i dont remember WHY we went out to eat at this time. but it was some sort of celebration.daniels included.

for whatever reason we did go out. and i took pics, lol

My son, daniel, having a very greasy carb filled, barbeque hamburger.

my husband Craig, and my son daniel

my husband craig, with his own BUTTERY BURGER..yes folks, its got butter on it, SUPER greasy, bu oh sooo good! a thing of the past for me , now.

Me.

i thought this was a good choice until i did a nutritional value search online, found out this cup of chili has over 1K calories!!!

yes, i had it with cheese (more protein) and some onions, and water on the side.

i ALSO had this salad, grilled chicken salad with i believe some sort of western chipotle dressing.

as much as i think i can eat it all, i never can, i always end up taking  most of any meal home anymore.
