salad lunch for today featuring cabbage slaw, dates, edamame, roasted turkey, green and red peppers with lemon olive oil dressing. This will last all weekend at ¼ servings each. Very fulfilling and satisfies that crunch! AND, my crunch to get a project deadline out. Yikes! No time for kitchen duty! Haha.

I want this! 🤤

Tonight’s dinner: a vodka Caesar, lol

I made the rookie mistake of eating all the garnishes while I drank it and ended up being too uncomfortable to eat my ordered dinner (roasted broccoli ceasar salad), so i just packed it up and will eat it tomorrow.

Also, since I just loooove to order food off the menu, I also ordered a funnel cake come dessert time, which i also did not eat since i was enjoying my hot Water with lemon (it was cold out in the patio tonight!!), and i didn’t want to feel icky again. I had every intention to take it home but gave in to a girlfriend’s drooling gaze and let her have it...it probably would’ve gotten too soggy to eat later anyway. I forgot to take a picture of it, but I assure you, it LOOKED delicious.

This reminds me, I need pumpkin seeds!😉

@ms.sss how far out are you? Also, if you don't mind sharing, how long did it take you to reach current size? I'm in awe that you are still counting every single calorie!!🏆

I’ll be 2 years post-op at the end of this month. 😎 (time flies!)

I got to goal at 7 months, but i lost a few more lbs over the next few months after that trying to figure out the whole maintenance thing. But I’ve basically been my current weight (give or take 5 lbs) for well over a year.

As for the whole calorie counting/tracking, its not for everyone, but I’m anal like that so keeping records and data and taking measurements and making graphs and all that sort of stuff speaks to me...I probably even enjoy it a little (ok, maybe alot!). I’ve been called obsessive/fanatical/crazy, but whatevs...its actually fun for me, AND I look great in jeans, lol

*250 cals *20 g Protein *2 net carb Breakfast sandwich

Same recipe as before (including the bread splitting technique) but with deli turkey this time

*I didn't weight the turkey so it maybe slight more but not less than 2ozs so I rounded up

I’m happy that 2.5 years out I still have a significant amount of restriction. But sad that take out sushi just isn’t the same. 😭

When you pretend to be healthy and order a salad, but it actually has more calories than your average burger 😂

That's amazing! Great job!! You and I could be polar opposites in that whole data/measuring thing!😊 But , this I think is the point of our journeys, isn't it? Finding what works for you now and forever, so that you can stick to it.

Each and every one of you guys are awesome!!!❤

Breakfast at my place is a toss up 😁

One day it's a salad or this sandwich

the next can be pretzels and a cheese stick.

Quarantine is wild

      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.
