This is the basic recipe I use with a few changes. I purchase frozen cauliflower rice from Trader Joes. I have made it myself with the food processor in the past and it is just a PITA and gets EVERYWHERE and my poor little dog goes haywire :rolleyes:. I also use frozen stir fry veggies from Sams instead of peas and carrots. I also add extra Water chestnuts because I love them. Super easy and really good....husband loves it as well. Next time I am going to use shrimp instead of chicken.

This looks fab! I can't wait to try it. Ty for the recipe!! ((Hugs))

Salmon croquettes

*Disclaimer: these are fried, so no way to estimate the real cal count but each one has ~15g of protein

Fresh poached/pouch/canned salmon, 1 egg, 1/4 cup flaxmeal, 1/8 cup chia seeds, 1 cup chopped spinach, various seasoning, dash of soy sauce

Mix, form patty, pan fry in 1/4" oil until browned on both sides

If you really wanted to you could weigh the frying oil before and after, to know how much was absorbed. I personal am good with guesstimating, but just in case you're not.

This is the type of thing an airfryer is great at cooking, and also reheating. :)

I'm feeling like I'm doing the puzzle from the cartoon pages: Find 5 differences between the pictures! I'm not sure there's 5! Looks good, though!

All of your foods look so good! This is not as interesting but this is breakfast: 1 scrambled egg, 3 turkey sausage links, strawberries and bananas...the restriction is real and I’m happy 😃

I finally have a before/after. :) Sometimes I can't "edit" myself cuz something looks so good. I usually only put what I know will be eaten on my plate and weigh everything. That way I have a clean/healthy plate without leftovers. But I served 3.5oz of salmon + 3.5oz broccoli + 1oz ea avocado and Tomato. (Ended up finishing the avo, cuz I didn't want to throw it out or waste it.)

Ended up eating 3oz salmon, 2oz broccoli, 1oz avo, 1/2oz tom--pretty much what I always eat (by weight). LOL. There is comfort in predictability. I'm a little over 8 months out.

      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.
