Had our first restaurant food since early March tonight, takeout of course. I love this restaurant, Gia Mia, and this salad so very much.

Grilled shrimp, arugula, fennel, pine nuts and lemon vinaigrette.

Hen stew made by my dad. Just ate the meat and potato, he forgot that I can’t eat rice. Super tempting 😅😭

This looks pretty bad but tastes excellent. Probably best described as an open face potstickers? I don’t use a lot of oil so the calories on this was about 300

Ground chicken with minced onion, red pepper and Water chestnuts. Stir fried it with sesame oil, soy sauce, sambal oelek chicken stock and thickened with corn starch slurry. Just bake the wonton wrappers separately in a muffin tin. Takes about 5-6 minutes at 375. I would have added more veggies and scallions but I didn’t have them available!

I've been on an Asian kick lately, and that looks delicious! (I love Water chestnuts 😍)

dinner tonight! Shrimp with honey, lime, soy sauce + red chili flakes in wok. Ready in a flash. IMG_3461.thumb.jpeg.cbe59912b8e9896f68fb4ff6fa783682.jpegI just love Bird's Eye baby garden peas - This my last frozen pea package... They don't appear to be restocking them. :[

That looks like it could be in Bon Appetit!

I miss seafood! I always plan on making enough food to have leftovers, and I dislike reheating seafood :(

(Most frozen and canned veg are all packaged during a single annual harvest. So once they're gone, they're gone. So that maybe your pea problem 😢)

Do any of you know how to make the zuchinni less watery? I tried drying it on paper towels and I tried putting salt on it.

If I try to make zuchinni bread it just won't cook. There is just this slobbery mess of a batter after cooking it. It is good batter though, so not complaining. I found myself head first in several bowls of batter during this experiment.

I also tried making zuchinni spagetti by roasting it in the oven and ripping it with a fork, didn't turn out so well :P

I have semi dehydrated zucchini to use as the "pasta" in lasagna. I just set the air fryer on the lowest temp. It worked out really well for lasagna, might work for zucchini bread as well?

Squeeze the Water out of it, really squeeze hard.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
