My Lunch: A Pictorial Attempt To Show You Life Will Be Normal



Recommended Posts

OMG that looks like heaven!! I love me some sea food all the time :)

However I think the shrimp might have made me swell some. I had puffy eyes this morning. But I'm not sure tho. I'll have to try shrimp again next week and see if it happens again.

Oh and my almost 3 year old ate a whole zucchini boat to himself. That must mean something!!! lol

New Years Eve dinner with the family! Ordered off the steak sides menu (Seafood Oscar) and my mom gave me a bit of her prime rib. Mmmm but filling! Ate one asparagus spear, two scallops and about 35g of prime rib. Feel bad for not touching my shrimp! Oh well, lots of left overs.

This is a much healthier pizza option. Low carb/high Fiber tortilla, 1/4 cup pizza sauce, 1/4 cup cheese, turkey pepperoni. I'm loving it!!

Our dinner tonight. pizza toppings minus crust. Surprisingly filling but not as low dal as some other options. I don't care. Enjoyed it thoroughly and logged it in MFP as best I could.

I should have just made my own pizza. Even without the crust it was too many dang calories. Not worth it on a regular basis. Too much cheese basically and not enough meat.

Maybe you can answer a question for me about beef and Indian food gamergirl! I would expect that if I went to India, (which I very much hope to do), that I would not see beef anywhere on the menu. That's pretty typical with most Indian restaurants I go to here in the Seattle area as well, but our favorite place serves beef too and that always puzzled me. Is beef just an adaptation some Indians living here have made to their diet if it is not a religious restriction for them, or do you think I would see beef curry etc in certain areas of India as well?

It's very regional. Assamese and Bengali people eat beef. Probably other regions too. Also lots of more secular people from all over eat it. A few years ago you almost never saw pork on the menu, but it is now easy to find as well.

Hi, Indians are majority Hindus by religion. Strict followers are vegetarians, and beef would be definite no no.

      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.
