Omg I love those!! Cute! Did you make these?

No, I cannot take credit, but ms.sss certainly could!!! I told the bakery to just surprise me. When I picked them up - they called them little Sophie smiling faces! Haha. Breakfast this morning with a cupcake. The rest were frozen or given as Valentine's gifts... Fun!

lunch today. Made chicken salad with leftover roasted chicken past weekend. Hubby finished the rest for a snack. And, Bobby in flight! Like me - he loves a good pork chop! Haha.

@Kris77 have you tried any of the lactose free products? I use a lactose free milk but am fine with yoghurt & cheese (something to do with the cultures/bacteria which can make them easier to digest I believe 🤷🏻‍♀️). But I gurgle heaps more when I have milk & yoghurt. There are coconut & nut versions of most dairy products if you want to explore because you know life is better with cheese. 😁

Sorry about your struggles with eggs though ☹️.

My not being able to eat ice cream is a good thing. I don’t even miss it anymore. cheese I love and yogurt but don’t eat either bc they make me bloated. Plus they mainly cheese is pretty fattening so I’m good w not having it anymore
But good to know there are other versions of them. I knew this about yogurt but not about cheeses though.
I pretty much eat a lot of the same things over and over. I love love salads so that’s my go to for lunch every day.

The bloating is likely from the lactose @Kris77. I eat on repeat a lot too. But it makes things easier because I don’t think as much about food & what I’m going to eat. cheese is often my go to when out socialising with friends. You can always guarantee there’ll be cheese at social events. It’s not an every day food & I’m not going to eat a wheel of Brie … though it’s so yummy I think I could 😉.

I’m still loving the Aldi zero carb bread and only need one slice as a serving which is a good thing because there was a price increase

Post Valentine’s Day picture dump of the goodies I brought into work. I also made Reese’s stuffed Peanut Butter brookies and lemon poppyseed pound cake that I didn’t get a picture of. -cheesecake brownies, “mint to be” Cookies, snickerdoodles, Valentine’s Day white chocolate fudge, salted caramel fudge, and hot chocolate fudge.

I’m a fan of trying new meats. Camel, bison, deer, duck, lamb, cow tongue, and rabbit are all things I’ll definitely eat again. I’ll have to redo the emu though because I think it might’ve been the way it was cooked. And if I ever want to try alligator I only have to drive south.

I finally found the Aldi Keto bagels!
They are not nearly as dense as regular Bagels and I don’t mind because I still cannot eat dense breads.

Can only claim ownership to about 5% of this salad. It was leftover from a lunch with my sister in law: a Mediterranean bowl. Halloumi, hummus, chick peas, grilled zucchini & carrot, roasted sweet potato, dukkha, cucumber, Tomato, spinach & pea shoots. I added the diced chicken to the leftovers for dinner. Damn yummy.

Mash potatoes with teriyaki braised mushrooms. This is my portion and I believe it’s right around 1 cup of food.

That fact that I even cooked made this a miracle meal. Anyone else tired of being the head chef?

More salad!

From yesterday: The Protein is fried-up leftover Swedish meatball “meat batter” that didn’t fit on the tray of formed balls (later tonight i’ll post a pick of THAT 🤞🏼)

394 calories. Ate the contents of whole bowl throughout the day.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
