Btw, anyone here looking at food porn, lol?

Me !

I'm a food voyeur, as I still can't handle everything and probably never will

But I thought it might be a bit too much to ask people to take pics while biting into food so I can live vicariously through them 😌😁

Ya'll. I miss eating salads. I loved them pre surgery. Like last meal loved. But my stomach hates it. Tonight I had a small salad, went down ok. Immediately threw it up.

OMG. I am very sad for you. If I coudn't eat salad, I would likely starve in protest.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day! :) I made a Reuben Lettuce Wrap (non-traditional hehe) with Turkey Pastrami and Near Zero Cal Russian Dressing. :D So. Dang. Delish. And I have a snack for later. There were afters. I didn't eat all the tomatoes - those were for props. LOL. Only 2 ended up staying on the plate. And that bowl in the background held my "chips". I made brussels sprouts chips in the air fryer today with Truffle Zest cheese spice. So good. (Oh and I found Kim Chi Salsa that is soooooo good! Spicy but not hot spicy! Even better than Kim Chi!)

I'd be a panic if I couldn't have my veggies and salads. I heart them so much!

So here are the nutritionals on the wrap--of course I suck at spelling but I did fix it. LOL:

Went out painting with some friends and there wasn’t much to choose from as far as food goes. I went with the $2 taco special and ordered one scallop and one pork shoulder. I was disappointed when I found out the scallops were fried 😔 I ate the insides of both and didn’t touch the tortillas.

@MarvelGirl25 Here's your information on the Brussels Sprouts chips with Truffle Zest & Parmesan!

Instructions: Wash 3 large brussels sprouts (about 75-85g). Cut end off stem end. Peel off leaves. Trim a little more end off and peel more leaves. Keep doing that until you've done the entire sprout. Cut remaining remnant in half to be about the same thickness as the rounds. Save the cut off rounds and air fry with the leaves! Repeat with remaining sprouts.

Spray sprouts with EVOO spray (I use a mister.). Sprinkle with granulated garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well.

Preaheat air fryer for 3 minutes on 400º. Place leaves, remnant sprouts, and stem cross section cuts into the fryer. Cook on 400º for 2 minutes. Open fryer and turn sprouts gently, using a spatula or spoon. Cook again at the same temp for 1 minute. Stir. Repeat in 1 minute increments until sprouts are as done as you prefer.

Remove brussels sprouts from basket and sprinkle with Tartufi Truffle Zest with cheese seasoning or use your favorite truffle salt. Shave a bit of parmesan on top. Eat IMMEDIATELY. There are dynamite when hot from the air fryer. As they cool and sit, the stemier part gets softer and chewy. But I still love them that way. I only use about a gram or 2 of shave parm.

Let me know how you like 'em! I love them more than tator chips! :D

      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.
