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! :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
