I have!! and Omg soooo good! Lets put it this way, I enjoyed it so much I felt guilty.. and there was nothing to feel guilty about. lol.

I made the lasagna one. yum Yum! and had lunch the next day for work. It was great! this is where willpower comes in though. They were so good I wanted another.. I didn't. But I sure did want more. So now, I know I might make these as healthy treat to a cheat day for me because I like it to much and I don't like that I do. If ya know what I mean.

I have made the zuccuhini tots - love love them - double the recipe for a veggie serving. I have made the chicken parm. great as well, so easy to make and freeze. My mom made the buffalo chicken macaroni (I think that is the one), it was good as well. Not filling by itself, need to add a veggie to the meal.

if this is what you are talking bout then yes.

if not--sorry i butted in

just this week i made baby meat loaves and used my muffin tins..it measures out to be 3 oz a piece (and very easy to freeze).

i also did this with my stuffing at thanksgiving (same 3 oz)...and i am guessing you could do it with a variety of foods/meals.

I have been doing this for years making baby meat loafs - a time saver. Done the mac n cheese to and added some ham bits this is great for lunch boxes and for a quick meal on the go.

I am doing the meatloafs tonight (I add shreded carrots to my meat loaf- adds some texture and sweetness, plus it gets another veggie in my ultra picky hubs).

Thank you everyone. I want to try and get a handle on some of these now before the surgery so after I can just go "oh do this then this"

I can't wait to try them

I made some over the weekend for dinners this week and froze a bunch. The chicken parm and taco cupcakes were great! I am so glad someone suggested emilybites.com. Love the portions!

        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!

      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
