Hi Everyone,

Just checking in to see how things are going with everyone. I am always out here reading the board and checking to see if anyone has any questions.bringiton.gif

Are you finding the foods that you like to eat? Have you tired any new recipes? I love trying new recipes or taking some of my old ones and making them a little more healthy. I have one that I want to share with you. Sometimes having something new just helps us make it through the day.cool2.gif

Zucchini Bread

Makes 2 Loaves

3 eggs 1 teaspoon Soda

1 cup Olive Oil

¼ teaspoon Baking Power

2 cups Splenda

1 teaspoon Salt

2 cups Grated Zucchini

3 teaspoons Cinnamon

3 teaspoons vanilla

½ cup Chopped Nuts of your choice

3 cups Almond Flour

1 -2 cups of Blueberries depending on your taste

Beat eggs until light & fluffy. Add the next 3 ingredients to eggs that you have already beat—oil, Splenda, grated zucchini. Mix well. Next add almond flour, soda, baking powder, salt, and vanilla. Mix well. Add nuts & blueberries into the mixture.

I found almond flour in the Health food Section of my local Grocery Store. Almond Flour is a Protein, and it really does taste GREAT.

Pour mixture into greased loaf pans—you can use PAM spray if you want to grease the loaf pans with it.

Bake at 325 for 1 hour or more depending on your oven.

I hope this helps people. Please post how you are doing and if there is anything we can help you with or any questions that you may have. I know this is such a big step to take to have the VSG aka "Sleeve". I had Weight Loss Surgery almost 4 years ago and it was the very best thing I have ever done for myself.angel.gif

If you have any questions about the surgery or want to ask, plase feel free to ask me anything you want to know about it. I am always willing to take the time to help you. I do not have any regrets at all. thumbsup2.gif

Hugs,

Suzanne

I have 2 Protein shakes per day. One as breakfast one as late afternoon meal. I also eat tuna with a little Ff mayo for lunch ( about 3 oz and then Protein ( usually chicken) for dinner. I find I can't eat many veggies after the protein. Do you eat your protein first? Down 4 pounds this week but that was a LONG 3 weeks. I know there are more stalls to come!

      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.
