This is what I'm making for Thanksgiving "maybe" unless I do smashed roasted cauliflower instead. The difference is that I won't use as much butter and will be making turkey tenderloins cooked the way I cooked the chicken breasts. Yum. And so dang easy!!! I won't even miss the loads of butter!

Here's the link to the smashed roasted cauliflower:

I make em the same way now post surgery, but I use MUCH less butter and in place of cream cheese I use Greek nonfat yogurt or neufchatel cheese or lite cheese wedges.

ooooh this looks soooooo good.

I've made the tortillas from this recipe, and I like them. :)

Edited to add: Ooopsies, I see you are still early in weight loss mode...these may be a little on high side calorie wise and carb wise...but could probably still be done...

Awesome thanks!!! I just saved the recipe! :) I’m going to give these a try once I’m a little further out in my journey. As of now I’m only getting in like 600 calories.

I realize most of my food (read: salads) looks the same. I may start using different bowls just for some variety, lol.

I did go a little off script today by "chicken-salading" my grilled chicken staple ;). Super filling, will eat the rest in a couple hours.

Salad greens + vinaigrette + 1/2 an avocado + 2.3 oz Air-fried Porchetta leftovers sans skin + Curried Chicken salad (2.8 oz grilled chicken + 0.8 oz gala apple + red onion + 1 tbsp homemade mayo + 1/2 tsp curry powder)

471 calories + 29g Protein + 8g NET carbs + 34g fat

Playing catch up today:

Saturdays Lunch: Went to an Armenian fest and was planning on sharing the below plate with my bf but I just couldnt do it. Its rice pilaf, a side salad, losh (grilled ground lamb patty), and kufta (stuffed meatball with lamb and herbs inside). I had like two bites of the kufta, it was super soft but I started getting that stuck feeling in my throat. I just couldn't digest it and I felt like crap after that. The whole time I was trying hard not to puke. Lamb will have to wait.

Later on that day I went to a late halloween party and ate like four salami slices off that skull head platter and that was my food for the day. There were chicken wings at the party too but I just couldnt eat them. My friend dyed them black to look like bat wings and it just grossed me out lol.

Sunday & Monday: (Ate the same thing both days)

Much better than Saturday! For lunch I made pan seared chicken breasts stuffed with broccoli and cheese. Didn't take a pic of it, I got too excited to eat it and forgot.

Dinner: Made my bf spare ribs, rice, and a small salad. I posted the pic of the rice because I caved & took two bites of it.... :( :o It was super hard to resist because its one of my favorite kinds of rice to make but the two small bites took away my craving. My dinner was a can of tuna with light mayo, celery, and two wasa crackers. Took me all night to finish.

Ohhh ... can I have your rice recipe? That looks delish, I understand why you couldn't resist. (Glad it didn't take much to satisfy that craving)

        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
