What's for dinner?



Recommended Posts

I'm still on puréed foods, so my meals are rather uninteresting! However, if you have Pinterest, feel free to check out my board of Healthy Chow for some ideas! Hope it helps!

Sweet and sour turkey meatloaf. 258 calories per 1/4 serving and 23 grams of Protein. Easy to make and tastes great! It also freezes well. Here is the recipe: 1 lb of ground turkey (I use 93/7), 1/4 cup sugar free apricot jam, 1/4 cup Heinz chili sauce (like ketchup but has more flavor), 1/2 t minced garlic, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 T dehydrated onion. Mix jam, chili sauce and garlic in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs, turkey and onions. Mix well. Form into loaf in a pan spayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cook at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. It is Yummy!

I wanted to do either tamale pie or turkey chili in the crock pot but they both take 10 hours. I figured this out at 2pm today... So I think I'm going to make lasagna cupcakes! I haven't made them before but I see them all over the place.

I threw in two small boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot with a jar of medium salsa. Shredded it and I am enjoying the deliciousness as we speak! Try it if you haven't already. It is soooo tender and juicy and very healthy! This will be probably four more meals for me ;)

I had them in the crockpot for almost 7 hours, but they were done after about 5 hours. I just let them soak in the salsa juices for the additional 2 hours. I had it on high for 2 hours, then switched to low for the remaining time. It is very tasty.

What is the 1/4 serving? 1/4 of the whole meatloaf? May try to adapt this to muffin tins since it's just me.

I made what I call Thai Bastard chicken soup:

carrot, red bell pepper, crimini mushrooms, shredded white meat chicken, swansons Thai Ginger broth, coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce and cilantro. Makes a huge pot (8 quarts), MORE than enough for dinner for 8 plus leftovers to freeze. About 270 calories per (12 oz) serving, which is about 2 times more than I can eat, so really only about 135 calories per serving, but you can also cut calories way down by cutting out the coconut milk or cutting the amount used in half. I mix 1 scoop of unflavored Protein powder with mine to keep the Protein up, but for the family, I serve as is.

Yes 1/4 of the meatloaf is one serving. It freezes so well in individual bags that I cook a meatloaf, divide it into 4 portions and package individually.

      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
