Recommended Posts

lately i have been eating:

lite cool whip and sprinkle cocoa powder on top!

lite cool whip and sprinkle nutmeg and cinn on top, or both!

egg whites OMG i forgot how good and low cal. they are! 6 whites with 1 yoke is 150 calories and it keeps me satisfied soooo long.

hummus: i have eaten for years but lately i am skipping the cracker and just eating it with a spoon.

walnuts and brazil nuts: i have been buying them in the shell cause it takes longer to eat and i dont eat nearly as many.

now that its cold i just made huge pots of each: pea Soup, black bean Soup and lentils...i froze them in small containers and i have ingredient controlled yummy lunches for the winter.

I have fallen head over heels in love with yogurt! I didn't eat it pre-band, but now I eat it every day. I have tried the commercial brands, but I stick with the organic all-natural ingredients which do have a bit of fat and sugar in them. I figure that is probably better than the chemicals, corn starch, and dyes in the Dannons and Yoplaits even though those are good, too. I also like Weight Watcher yogurts.

I'm really grateful for my yogurt addiction because it's PLAIN that I love. Occasionally, I will have blueberry or strawberry, but some days I think I could subsist on plain yogurt. :)

Shelly we call cilantro coriander here, but its awfully good in a salad, mix in a good bunch with the lettuce - if you can find a Thai/Asian style dressing, its yummy - with slices of barbecued beef, bean shoots, red onion you can call it a Thai Beef salad.< /p>

I'm in Australia but I'm not big on sugar free or diet products, I dont like the taste and the thought of the chemicals in them gives me the heebies.

Lately I've been eating a lot of reaaaaaaaalllllly goooooood gourmet yogurt, full fat greek style stuff with fruit, its heavenly. Really expensive too. And of course more calories than lite stuff but for a meal, with maybe a small piece of fruit its still reasonable.

And tonight we had chicken burgers for dinner because for some insane reason I have had a huge craving for mango chutney lately - which we had on the burgers.

Jacqui, I'm a huge fan of the gourmet yougarts!! My favorite at the moment is Envy, with passionfruit. I'm so glad they've finally started selling them at the supermarket, rather than just the small fruit and veg shops I used to find it at. Because I'm on mushies, I've been having that occasionally for Breakfast.

Another Breakfast thing I've been having is low fat smooth cottage cheese mixed with either crushed pineapple or canned mandarins, all wizzed up with the stick blender. I've never really liked cottage cheese before, but thought I'd try it again, as it is a decent source of protein/calcium.

Tonight for dinner, we had homemade split pea and ham Soup and I must say it was delicious!! It was the perfect consistency after blending it for a moment and extremely filling.

Every year for Christmas we would buy a couple of Hickory Farms Smoked Beef Sticks....something my Mom started a long time ago. They carry approx 200 calories / 60 g serving. I was elated to find that they now have a smoked turkey stick....74 calories / 60 g serving....and you can't tell the difference!!!!!

      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.
