I was craving something sweet and chocolate and this was amazing tastes just like a fudge brownie totally in love. I only ate about 4 slices of banana but I ate all the chocolate hummus. Delicious

banana with some chocolate sauce and a bit of granola over Protein yoghurt (mix of coconut Protein, freeze dried raspberries and supposed-to-be immun boosting stuff):

I think I've seen this brand at local supermarkets but not the chocolate hummus. Can't really imagine the taste but then again I'm using chickpea flour in sweet mug cakes...

Mussels in white wine sauce and braised fennel.

I ate 10 + about 1/4 cup of fennel: 112 calories (since I didn’t have any bread, I didn’t have anything to soak up sauce 😕 )

Hi, everyone!!! It has taken me about 5 days off and on...but I have read this whole thread, and a few things have happened:

1. I learned that am a lurker and a stalker🤦‍♀️

2. I have snagged some wonderful recipes and ideas

3. I realized I am going to love getting to go on this journey with ya'll...there is so much support and help offered!!!

4. And my name isn't cute at all!!! I am so jealous of how cute they all are!!!

Now, I guess I should say something about my food. Today I am 4 wks out from my surgery, I started soft foods this past Saturday. I am on soft foods until 9/12. I can't wait to be able to be able to actually chew something with more texture. I am so jealous of everyone's cucumbers and radishes, they look so yummy!!!

Right now am able to eat 3 Tablespoons of food, 4 times a day(there is no way I could do 6)...I am currently averaging 48-54 oz. fluids. So right now i will not subject you to my little wee-meals.

Welcome & CONGRATS ❤

Don't worry- we were all site stalkers at one point or another, right?

Yes? No? Just me then?

Well, I decided to do it. It was time.

I made the ricotta bake.

I wanted more Protein, so I browned up a pound of ground turkey with some onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning and mixed that in with the other ingredients.

Quadrupled the recipe so I could feed my boyfriend, have leftoverS for hi. And plenty of leftovers for me to freeze for later. Served myself 3.8 ounces.

and of course, that was more than I could fit/needed.

Boyfriend said it tasted just like lasagna without the noodles. I had meant to add crushed red pepper, but forgot. Would definitely make it again, but probably skip the mozzarella. Part-skin mozzarella always ends up like cardboard and was so hard to chew well enough.

      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.
