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:

  • Mix mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together.
  • Add onion, bacon and cheese.< br />
  • Pour over broccoli in a bowl. Stir until broccoli is lightly coated.
  • Chill for a few hours, or overnight.

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

--close lid and cook on low for 6-7 hrs or high for 3-4-if your chicken is frozen it will take longer

Seve with your favorite pasta. I used penne pasta. enjoy!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
