I don't really have a recipe. I just shredded green cabbage and carrots, fried it with a bit of oil in the pan until it was lightly browned and done and put some sate sauce out of the glass on it. Poured the whole thing over leftover hard boiled eggs and Beans Pasta.




My "cooking" is very simple. I'm neither a very talented cook nor interested in spending my time with cooking, so the stuff I cook takes very little active time. It might need an hour in the oven sometimes but I don't count that.


Can I ask how you made the Sate sauce? Or is it store bought?

Wings (Honey Hot/BBQ)

@Cheeseburgh I remember a couple of months ago you mentioned that you only eat a few at a time and I forgot to reply

I also only eat between 2-5 wings at a time (depending on how hungry I am).

I noticed if I have an order of 10 wings it's usually 2-3 meals worth. I get extremely bored eating them by wing 3 😅

Same-ish.

I can do about 5, and that’s if I don’t eat anything else (i..e, veggie sticks, etc..)

....now I want me some wings!!

Patio lunchtime with a couple girlfriends earlier. I had the beef tartare...this is my after pic (forgot to take a before pic in my eagerness to eat it!)

...also, a bonus pic of the pretty charcuterie board that was ordered for the table. I didn’t have any, but it must have been delicious because my companions polished it all off, lol

It's a store bought paste. I sometimes make peanut sauce myself or use Peanut Butter in stews though but I like this paste quite a lot.

I’m always confused how to count the calories with wings. We smoke them vs. deep fry, I can figure out that part. But I pretty much only eat the drummies and on MFP the numbers are all over the map!

This is the most basic listing I could find on Baritastic. Seems about right to me for just the meat. Sauce would be axed on to it.

As a rule of thumb I always choose the highest calorie listing in MFP for any food that isn’t verified (i.e., the ones without the little green checkmark). I figure its better to overestimate than under.

      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.
