Alot of times I don't even measure when I make this. It's sorta by site and taste for me. I don't like alot of dressing. And I just make what I need at that time because if it's there I might want to eat more then I should lol.

Broccoli salad

Ingredients:

  • 2 large bunches raw broccoli, cut into flowerets sometimes i will also use cauliflower
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 c. grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 c. splenda
  • 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 c. Mayonnaise, FF, lite, reg, whatever your preference. can also sub yogurt

Directions:

Amazed that you can eat raw broccolli. I can only eat it really soft. Mind you I don't think I would want to eat it raw!

I had slow cooked beef in red wine casserole with mashed potatoes, all cooked by hubby cos I worked today.

Serve with your favorite Pasta for family. I just ate it without Pasta.< /span>

--mix the bread crumbs with the seasonings and the parmesan cheese in another seperate dish

--dip the chicken into the egg- coating both sides and then into the bread crumb mix coating both sides as well

--place the chicken breast in the bottom of the crockpot

--layer 2 -3 slices of mozzarella cheese on top

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
