Had a nut appt yesterday. Same old thing, keep practicing on the sipping, no drinking for at least 30 mins after meals, and two bites of protein-then one bite of veggies. I've already went to decaf (the withdrawal was awful) and I replaced my breakfast with a protein shake with green bombs. (Bombs are a frozen mixture of kale, spinach, ginger root, green apples, and cucumbers blended together with some water and poured in to ice cube trays or silicone molds). Great way to get veggies in. My nut says I can continue that with my protein post op too. Yay!
So I've got one more nut appt left (April 19th) then I'm DONE! They'll submit my papers to insurance and then I wait. I'm suspecting my surgery to be in May instead of April now. So we'll see. Until then, I wait. Hopefully the month goes by fast. 😊

Thanks y'all. I didn't have a silicone mold and didn't want to use muffin tins. So I used ice trays. Perfect little bombs. Now, pre-surgery I use 3-4 bombs in each protein drink. After I'll probably use one till I can up it more. But anyway, I use my nutri bullet and I cram in spinach and kale in equal portions I guess. 1/2 a cucumber, 1/2 large green apple, maybe a few thick slices of ginger root, then I add water up to the line. I didn't want it to be too thick but not too watery either, good enough to pour in the ice trays. Freeze them and place in to a container with lid and keep in the freezer. Had to make 3-4 batches because the nutri bullet is kinda small. But each batch filled up 4 ice cube trays. So, when I'm ready to make my drink, I throw those in first, liquid, then protein powder. A good little bit of veggies in every one. Helps bridge the gap of not getting any veggies or little veggies in The diet. You can do an array of different veggies. Watch the fruit though; that's why I only used a little bit of green apple. My brother threw me on to this, I'm glad he did op. Hope y'all get to trying. Let me know how it goes!
