What is the best thing you've eaten lately that was on plan for you? (Not something from a cheat, but something that was in line with what your current plan is.)

I'll start! Last night, I tried making breading out of crushed Pork rinds and grated parm. It worked out fantastic. I crushed about a cup of spicy pork rinds as small as I could get 'em and mixed them with an equal amount of grated parm. We then took some boneless, center-cut pork chops and pounded them thin, tossed them in the "breading" and washed them in eggs (twice for each) and then pan-fried. The result? Zesty carb-free pork schnitzel. It was awesome, much closer to the real chicken-fried deal than I had any right to even hope.

Each little chop came out to 253 calories, 32 grams of Protein and zero carbs.

It was terrific.

I'm pre-pre-op. Salmon filets baked in foil pockets with spray of olive oil, squeeze of lemon, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano. I'm crazy about salmon these days.

That pork sounds amazing! I'm fairly boring food wise, so the best I've had recently is ground turkey cooked with taco seasoning in a bowl mixed with a little bit of sour cream and refried Beans. Lots of flavor and tons of Protein. Usually I do 3oz of turkey, .5 oz of sour cream and 1 oz of fat free refried.

Love this question! I guess it depends on what plan you are following. One of my most recent favorites is a mixed green salad tossed in a lemony dressing sprinkled with quinoa or ancient grains with a nice piece of fresh grilled salmon on top. YUM!

Crushed pork rinds are ok to have? I can't imagine, but it sounds good!

      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.
