Team lunch at work today, and the client took us to a Chinese Buffet of all places 🙄.

Wouldn't have thought I had it in me, but I ate almost everything on the plate below (I didn't eat the giant chicken wing in the middle, nor the piece of brown rice sushi at the bottom right, nor the baked grouper which is the white blob under the giant chicken wing). It took me almost 3 hours, but I ate everything else! Worth noting that this is probably the first time in my life I only had 1 plate of food at a buffet. Pre-WLS I would have gone for seconds, thirds, etc...

Sweet & Sour Pork + Sesame Chicken + Mango + Seaweed salad + Steamed mussel + Tamago (rolled omelette) sashimi + Grilled Octopus + Fried Chicken Breast + Peking Duck w/ Hoisen Sauce + Green Beans + Chinese Broccoli

Not Shown in this pic, but I also ate: the insides of a mini cherry tart (didn't eat the pastry shell) + tofu pudding w/ simple Syrup.

I would kill for a restaurant that sold Peking duck near me. There’s this one spot but it’s not a dine in place. Since surgery all I’ve been wanting is duck and dumplings...

the dreams have been starting lol

For todays lunch I made Portuguese Soup, the perfect food for rainy days! It has linguisa, kale, cabbage, potatoes, kidney Beans, cannellini beans, elbows, and a few other ingredients. I ate a little less than a cup and avoided the elbows. I believe it was close to 200 calories. I remembered to take an after shot this time :)

Ok another *sandwich* this time with Sausalito turkey breast which I do like

What you can't see under all of the lettuce is cucumbers, cheese and everything bagel spices

Also these puffs are pretty AMAZING not overly cheesy salty etc

      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.
