Haha! I thought so! ;-)

OK, so the meatloaf recipe is kinda from memory so some of the measurements aren't exact.

1lb ground lean turkey

1 carrot finely chopped

1/4 large onion finely chopped (I usually toss the onion and carrots in the food processor for a few seconds)

1tbs fresh minced garlic

1tbsp fresh chopped parsley

2tbsp Italian seasonings

1 large egg

1/2c whole wheat bread crumbs

1tbsp olive oil

1cup of your favorite Tomato sauce

1 cup parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400*

In a sauce pan, sautee carrots, onion and garlic with olive oil until the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender. Set aside to cool.

Once the carrot mixture is cool mix turkey, egg,carrot mixture, parsley, italian seasoning, bread crumbs, 3/4 cup parmesan, and 1/2cup of the tomato sauce in a large bowl with your fingers. Its ooey and gooey but there really is no better way to make sure it's mixed well.

Transfer turkey mixture to an ungreased 8x10 baking dish and shape into a loaf. Cover with remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle remaining parmesan on top and bake for 30mins

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds cauliflower,

cut into large florets (about 8 cups)

3 garlic cloves, peeled

2 (14-ounce) cans lower-sodium chicken broth

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

In a large saucepan, combine cauliflower, garlic, and broth. If cauliflower is not completely covered by broth, add Water to just cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 12 minutes.

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid, then drain cauliflower and garlic. Transfer cauliflower and garlic to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, pulsing in some or all of the reserved cooking liquid, if necessary, to moisten mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, stir in chives. Serve warm.

      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.
