Mom took me out for lunch for my upcoming birthday. Half of a crab cake, one ahi poke taco, salad and a spear of asparagus. Super decadent, but kept my portions small. The plate is a small appetizer plate. Ate all of it except the fried wonton “taco shell.“ It was amazing!
For comparison on my portions, Mom had two of the tacos plus my shell, one whole crab cake, two mini muffins, salad, and a couple of spears of asparagus. She is 75 years old and has a normal BMI.
I am trying to not feel guilty for this splurge meal 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Lunch/left-overs from dinner last night. My take on Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers using Hatch green chili’s, stuffed with sautéed thin sliced beef, mushrooms, and onions, topped with a bit of reduced fat Mexican cheese blend. Left-overs from dinner last night. Very tasty 😋 Ate all of it. About 200 kcals and 19 G Protein.

So I’ve been craving enchiladas verdes so bad but trying to avoid the bread like carbs so I made an enchilada salad? Idk what to call it really. I basically made chicken in homemade salsa verde and put it on a bed out spring mix and romaine. Topped it with cotija cheese, light sour cream, onions, and cilantro. Also added some cucumbers and tomatoes. Craving satisfied

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
