Dinner last night: Shrimp cake, mexican quinoa salad, and peach freaking cobbler



Recommended Posts

Here's the shrimp cake recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/05/jalapeno-shrimp-cakes.html

Next time I'll leave jalapeno seeds in. It needed some more kick. I'll make it again, but it was pretty messy. Handling shrimp goop isn't the most appetizing. I'm glad my hubby wasn't around for the actual prepping part. I didn't pull out my food processor, an just used my Magic Bullet. This left some big chunks of shrimp, but I appreciated the texture difference. Nutrition info in recipe.

This quinoa salad was sooo goood: http://damndelicious.net/2014/04/09/one-pan-mexican-quinoa/

It'll definitely become a regular dinner dish. So flavorful! I did the math this morning and these are the numbers for the whole batch: 109 gr protein; 2,227 calories; 293 carbs; 36.5 gr fat. I estimated that my serving size (maybe 1/3 cup) is about a 32nd of the whole thing. Makes a lot of food!

Quest Bar Peach Cobbler: http://blog.questnutrition.com/cooking-clean-with-quest-peach-cobbler-with-fitmencook-and-blogilates/

It hit the spot perfectly, and it was so easy! Well after I burned and threw out the first Quest Bar. Lol. Next time I won't add sweetener to the filling. My Protein powder was sweet enough (Vanilla Body Fortress), and I didn't sweeten the crust mix either. I portioned it into four 4oz ramekins, used fat-free whipped cream instead of Greek yogurt, and it came out to 11 gr Protein and 110 cals each. Not too bad!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
