Thanks, that really puts it into perspective! I wish there was a Trader Joe's close to me!

BTW this 1 burger is lunch and dinner (with sides like salad or a carb)

Akmak for everyone!:

What does 1 cracker weigh? I have a feeling that each of those is "4 mini squares" or crackers. I'm betting it's close to 28g. Just curious. :) TIA!!!

Did you order it? :D

No, I already have a waffle maker. I did order some psyllium husk though to make some chaffles.

Meal prep for the BF, non bariatric portions

Peri Peri chicken with Cauliflower Stuffing & Broccoli

(The MFP nutritionals are wrong on the riced cauliflower stuffing, 1/2 the bag = 75 cals, not 1/4 cup)

This meals feels very haphazard, as it consists of all the veggies I currently have in the house. I hope the grocery apocalypse eases in the next week. If not, my bf's meals are going to get, interesting.

Family,

With uncertain times approaching some major concerns may arise concerning scarcity (for multiple reasons). Are there precautions or measures you are taking with grocery shopping / food preparation / storage? Any tips or tricks you want to share?

Stay healthy and safe❤

I have my meals prepped and laid out, stocked up (minimally) on basics.

I don't feel well so I've been forcing calories in and self quarantined as much as possible while rapidly making online lesson plans and trying to deal with the shitshow that is work currently

      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.
