Creamed spinach stuffed tomatoes are on my menu tonight, 3weeks out, am I pushing it?

1 thick slice almost ripe Tomato

creamed spinach:

easy way -

one can of condensed mushroom Soup

1/2 or whole carton frozen chopped spinach thawed and thoroughly patted dry

tspn garlic powder

1/3 cup diced sautéd onions

1/2 cup sautéd or canned chopped mushrooms

1/3 cup parmesan grated cheese

mix all ingredients in a saucepan over medium low heat until cheese melts, allow to cool, mixture should be the texture os soft mashed potatoes. Oil a cookie sheet or casserole dish. lay tomato slices 2" apart and mound creamed spinach. sprinkle with small amount of a mixture of parmesan mixed with seasoned bread crumbs. Bake 15 to 20 min at 350 or until top begins to brown.

Hard way-

start with bachmel sauce (3tblspoon each of flour,milk,butter heated and mixed over low heat) use 2 freshly minced cloves garlic. Use fresh baby spinach, found in a bag in the salad section and it's prewashed! cook the spinach 1/2 way or more in a saucepan with 1" of wate. Pat dry.follow above recipe.

Bon Appetite.

As long as the spinach is very well cooked there is not a problem.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
