    Food Before and After Photos

    Peanut butter is amazing to use in cooking! Peru uses it in some dishes as well and some other Latin American countries too. Pic 1: This ones called Carapulcra. It’s a fusion dish that has African influences. It’s sun dried potatoes (Incan people technique) with roasted pork and the base is made with Peruvian peppers and peanut butter. Pic 2: Ocopa, one of my favorite apps! I posted this not too long ago on here. It was the pic where I had layered potatoes and wrote Peru on the dish. The green sauce is made with peanut butter and black mint. Pic 3: This is a Bolivian soup called Sopa de mani. The literal translation is Peanut soup. Super good!

    Regret

    I’m glad to hear your swallow test came back great and you are starting to cope with your new normal. It’s not easy and I know that. I couldn’t find too many people to relate to who took long to recover so I can understand you feeling in the dark and fed up. Hopefully now you are able to keep something down, no matter what it is. Everyone’s body reacts differently. Try to find something you can tolerate and stick with it. For me it was watermelon for 3 months... why? Idk. It was the only thing that I was able to keep down and kept me hydrated. Good luck and keep remembering that eventually you will see a light at the end of the tunnel. ❤️

    Thank you! They are also super low in cals . I’m excited lol I saw online that they sell them at Whole Foods. Fingers crossed they are in stock 🤞 You know what, I could probably just turn these into a cabbage salad. Thanks for the idea!

    Made shrimp tacos. Will be eating this all week minus the tortillas. This was the first time since surgery that I ate one whole tortilla and omg I’m ridiculously full! Thinking of using romaine lettuce instead but I’m not sure if it’s going to taste weird because of the cabbage.... which will make it all crunchy 🤔 besides lettuce, does anyone have a good tortilla replacement?

    Regret

    Girl, I feel you! I went through hell and back after I had surgery. My recovery was awful. I couldn't drink water, I would throw up after I tried a protein shake, and i wasn't keeping anything else down. I ended up getting super dehydrated and I had to get IV fluids. I instantly felt regret and kept asking myself why the hell I did it in the first place. It took me 3 months to recover and feel somewhat normal. Do I regret my decision now? No, not at all. I would go through it all over again. Just hang in there and listen to your body and know it will go away soon and you will be back to normal.

    I can very much relate to this. I usually crave dishes i grew up with, or chicken wings lol Idk why but chicken wings are comfort food for me. Im not a fan of stuffing but I would gobble up that turkey easy! Looks delicious!
