So seeing @Pandemonium’s scallops pic earlier activated a salt craving in me for some reason, so fixed myself one of my mini charcuterie plates again for a snack: old cheddar, prosciutto, salami, fig jam & frozen blueberries: 386 calories.

Ate about 2/3 of it all, but should’ve stopped at half...am unpleasantly full. Not sure if I will finish the rest later, I’m salted out for the day, I think.

Also, I think I had more fun building the little hor d’oeuvres bites and taking pictures of them to make this little collage, than actually eating it. Meh.

I always think of this now when someone posts a charcuterie board, it's so true 😂

Im on a food posting spree today!

Made a lasagna (w/ regular Pasta sheets) from the fam for dinner tonight, and saved some of the insides (the meat sauce & cheese/spinach mixture) for myself to serve over 1/2 a package if shiratake noodles.

Calories for my meal (had I eaten it): 272 calories.

Sat at the table with my bowl and just didn’t feel like eating it though. I’ll see if I want it later, but if not I can always eat it tomorrow.

Ended up having 1 glass of red wine (130 calories) while the fam finished the entire lasagna...must’ve been good! Lol.

Looks layer-y 🤣 I see lots of effort in this, your family had the right idea to enjoy every last bite.

I've been so lazy during lasagna making (because I don't eat it) that I only ever give 3 layers tops but no one notices

I follow a guy on YouTube who finds healthy (he’s a bit picky) stuff at grocery stores and recommends what to get and why. His channel name is cringey (flavcity) but I’ve found some good stuff. Aldi (sorry @ms.sss ) has a new product. Green lentil lasagna noodles. I hate lasagna but it looked like a great choice!

This looks so much like real chicken! Is it seitan?

Wasn’t planning on Breakfast other than a Protein Shake but got strong armed into it. Went with a Portuguese style tofu scramble: 2 planks of tofu, spinach, Tomato, jalapeño, and chorizo. Focused on the tofu, spinach and tomatoes with the occasional bite of chorizo.

Weekend meal with the bf at my favorite Salvadorean restaurant. Ended up getting full faster than I thought. Remembered the after pic!

Later we ended up going to a Syrian cafe for baklava. Ate 2 pieces

      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.
