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.

      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.
