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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
