Need Some Help



Recommended Posts

I hate to admit it but I have been living on eggs and hamburger because they are so quick and easy to fix.

As a school teacher with all the benchmark testing and data plus parent contacts plus lesson plans plus grading... I work at least 12 hour days. I come home exhausted and just want to eat my dinner and relax or go to my belly dance class. I need some tasty EASY quick recipes. Any one have any favorites?

These are not recipes per say, but I buy baked frozen meatballs (Rosina Italian Style) and heat them up with my favorite Tomato Pasta sauce & grated cheese on top. You can make some Pasta if you have to make dinner for someone else.

- Caprese salad-(slice(s) of fresh mozzarella, slice(s) of tomato, fresh or dried basil, balsamic vinegar, a tiny bit of olive oil, ground black pepper.

-I haven't made this yet, but I plan on googling some easy crockpot recipe that includes chicken tenderloin & a jar of Pasta Sauce or red pepper sauce or cacciatore sauce...you get the picture.

I make deviled eggs with splenda and keep them in the fridge for a snack. Crock pot cooking can be pretty easy with only a couple of ingredients to through in it when you get home its ready for you. There is also always tuna salad and chicken salad, Oh and rotisserie chicken at the grocery store with a bag of salad and you got dinner. And there are some really good garlic butter and herb fish fillets in the frozen food section that are very very good. I like them a lot but can get a little expensive.

Viola, If you have a Sav A Lot near you, they have some great deals on individual servings of fish. I paid about a dollar each for tilapia filets a couple of weeks ago. They are single-serving, so I can just put one in a pan with some lemon and italian dressing and they cook in minutes. Great when I'm hungry and have had a long day! :)

      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
