Idk what the weight of the burger was because if you haven't noticed I currently don't follow rules about expected serving size, logging etc. ( I'm much happier that way ❤) I only do what's right for me.

Good for you. I thought you always did that. I was referring to me having a reference. (And, FYI, I'm pretty happy with my lifestyle as well!)

@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

This looks delish, how big is this? Is the cracker the size of a saltine?

      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.
