This is lots of meals. I did food prep today. The veggies are just roasted broccolini, brussel sprouts, and some chestnut mushrooms. I coated them in olive oil, garlic, and salt. The meats are dry scallops, pan seared, prawns pan fried with cayenne, garlic, and chili powder, the salmon I cooked with my Sous vide and then VERY quickly pan seared it. The brown meat is duck. I made it a bit ago with my Sous vide, I just pan seared it and pulled it apart. OMG it is delectable. It and the salmon are very very tender and moist. The sauces I will put on whenever I feel like I want a smidge more flavor.

I’m freezing them flat and then putting them in ziplocks in the freezer so that I can grab a bit at a time for my lunches/dinners. I also have some frozen cauliflower risotto, etc. to mix things up. This should last me a couple of weeks.

I agree! I almost bought an airfryer...

Air fryers are AWESOME! We use ours constantly. I might have a weakness for gadgets, especially kitchen ones!

So worth it. Do it. We use ours more than anything else except the grill.

Falafel would be perfect for the airfryer!

Haven’t posted anything in a while because my food has been underwhelming. But today I ordered lunch from Panera- their new Summer strawberry Caprese salad. It’s really good. This is easily made at home I am sure but I just needed something quick. Half of a salad and this is after for now. I want to finish this today somehow but after about 6 bites I am stuffed :(

OMG, why have I never thought of making falafels in my airfryer? That sounds GREAT!

Some fantastic sirloin from the grill. Fed the last bite to my husband so I could eat a couple Brussels sprouts. Impressed myself with my ability to eyeball 2 ounces.

        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.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
