On a first note- I call it stress baking because it brings me zen. Baking relieves so much stress for me and this week has just been the epitome of stress.

Anyway here’s most of my meals I made for work. My onigiri didn’t come out right; I think I washed too much starch off the rice. 😞 Mirin soy salmon, kimchi, curried chicken salad, furikake rice, nori, roasted potatoes and carrots, garlic spinach, southern fried corn, chorizo Tomato sauce, and braised tofu.

Also, a bonus pumpkin coffee cake with maple glaze.

I haven’t ventured to making my own kimchi yet but it’s on the list. I have however made loads of pickles and fermented some zucchini noodles that are in my fridge.

Meal prep for my work week. Turkey & sweet potato chili.

That is how I meal prep. I have been doing it for like a decade and I haven't even had surgery yet! I make a big pot of curry or chili or whatever and put them in individual portions. Some go in the fridge for this week and some in the freezer for a while later when I'm no longer sick of it lol. It worked out great for this week because I was away this weekend and didn't go grocery shopping.

Trying to fall in love with Protein Shakes again (It’s too hot to eat 🤣) It tasted like a Starbucks Frappuccino

Have you tried the Premier Protein Blueberries and cream? If you’re trying to get back into them it’s a new flavor. So good. Cookies and cream is another fav too.

Cookies and cream is my favorite! I’m hoping costco will stock it again soon.

@greentealael unfortunately I didn’t loose my sweet tooth with the sleeve surgery so I still love the sweet taste of these drinks and other sweet things. I’d def consider yourself lucky!! I wish my had went away😐

The cafe latte one they have is pretty good. It’s the only one I like post surgery because it’s not as sweet. Has caffeine though.

      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.
