What ya eating tonight?



Recommended Posts

Christmas was not good for me. I desperately wanted to eat everything. I actually put on 4 lbs.

I'm so mad at myself because it just was not worth it. Now I've got to find a way to get back on track.

I'm very impressed with those of you who managed to be disciplined!

You'll be fine, just start over and do some Protein Shakes for a couple of meals. You'll be back on track

In no time!

Leftover olive garden chicken and risotto. I love that my husband and I can split everything and I still get two meals out of that. We also make healthier choices in general. Although I'm the one who had surgery, we have both benefited from the healthy changes.

Black eyed peas, greens, ham...welcome to New Years in the south! Couldn't bring myself to make cornbread only to eat 2 bites and trash the rest.

I made homemade chili today too. Had a small piece of cornbread with it.

What's behind the tradition of cabbage and black eye peas?

Cabbage is for money. Can't remember black eye peas. But been a tradition since I was a little girl

I had my black eyes peas and cabbage. I've always heard the cabbage for money and peas for luck! Had to keep up with tradition.

. We do greens for money, but same theory (actually I hate greens so I do spinach). Absolutely sure it doesn't work but hey, it's tradition :)

chicken with garlic, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and spinach with a balsamic and wine reduction. Herbed quinoa on the side. Yummy. Couldn't face chicken for awhile, but it hit the spot.

Wondering the same thing about baking the corn tortillas.

I just cut plain corn tortillas into 6 triangles, spread them on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with Kosher salt and bake at 350 for maybe 10 minutes. I don't use any spray or oil, and they come out great (ha, when I make them for hubby - I don't eat them).

"Spinach with a balsamic and wine reduction" - sounds mouth-watering good! :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
