Bbq Season has started.... What will you eat?



Recommended Posts

I was so nervous to travel out of state for memorial weekend. Love to travel but being 2 months post op my first thought was "what the heck do I eat"? Now that I'm over that initial fear I'll opt for chicken, bunless burger and some (tossed) salad. What will you be eating?

2 1/2 years out. Been maintaining 10+ pounds below goal for 19 months. Moderation, rather than abstinence works for me.

MMMMMMMMmmmmm. Dead animal here, land or sea.

My favorite is flank steak with grilled onions and peppers, but tonight it's going to be salmon, salad and angry edamame.

Shrimp, scallops, chicken, burger, steak, sausages, hot dogs...

I usually skip any potato or macaroni salad because they fill me up so fast and make me feel crappy. Same with Buns. I do eat cole slaw and a bit of fruit, though, and three bean salad is one of my favorites. Grilled veggies make me very happy, especially asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, YUM.

I make an awesome Pasta salad that is super easy. I coarsely chop red pepper, carrots, broccoli, cucumber, and add grape tomatoes and very finely diced vidalia onion to al dente' bowtie Pasta. Stir in some quality mayo and dump in a bottle of Ken's Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing. A bit of garlic powder, pepper and the main ingredient? A good amount of Old Bay seasoning. I dislike old bay seasoning but it's exactly perfect for this recipe. To make this pasta salad more of a meal than a side, add in some cooked baby shrimp and artificial crab leg. Let it sit over night to let the flavors blend. You may have to add more vidalia dressing if it needs moistening.

I generally just eat the veggies and seafood out of the above salad but it's OH SO GOOD. My family loves it and it's the dish all my friends request at BBQs. I usually leave out the shrimp and crab when I take it places because people are weird about seafood, myself included.

I am not a huge sweets eater so while I will have an occasional cookie or cupcake, I don't HAVE to have it.

That said, no BBQ is complete without ice cold beer. And dead animal.

I'm still in the soft food phase, so we've grilled a few salmon filets and they've been amazing.

      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.

        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!
