That doesn’t look like 1300 cals!!

I know right! It has been eye opening now that menus have the calorie count listed. Honestly I would have thought this was the “healthy choice” but most of the “dessert” Breakfast items were half the calories.

Sometimes I don’t think they measure portions or ingredients the same as when they calculated those supposed calories. Especially when it comes to unpackaged Salad Dressing and toppings like cheese or granola. Such small variations can make such a big difference.

So I made lower calorie/ low carb nachos. It’s a black bean and chicken nacho with homemade tortilla chips (from low carb wraps). On the side nachos in a baked scoop because I honestly didn’t think it was gonna work but they are pretty good. I just toasted the wrap in a skillet with cooking spray and salt and then topped with Beans, chicken, cheese and onion and baked to melt the cheese. Then added the cold toppings. Hubby just came home and I met him at the door with my experiment. He said it was good too and he can eat anything he wants so that says something.

These looked so good that I set out to find some I can have. I’m sure yours were better though.

Butter, butter, butter. Can’t stand margarine - tastes so synthetic. I agree with the others. The little you’d eat on this is nothing. It’s not like you’ll be drowning your steak & lobster in butter or eating that amount every day. If you use little added fat in your meal prep most of the time, adding a little more occasionally isn’t going to make a huge difference.

Just realised I’ve been using the same 500g tub of butter since December. It may be time for a fresh tub. 😆

PS - I used to mash anchovies with butter to put on my steak sometimes pre surgery. Don’t enjoy anchovies alone but like this yum! Plus Omega 3, selenium & other nutrients, & salty goodness on your steak.

Another confession: I often secretly put anchovies or fish sauce in the meals i make for the fam for an added umami flavour if it calls for it. Don't tell them though cuz they'd be horrified. But i mean, they can't even tell i put em in, and they eat everything up anyways!

Well I thought couldn’t stand anchovies but love ceaser dressing. Now I know the secret ingredient I guess I can’t say that anymore. Maybe it’s the texture I don’t like and when they are made into a paste they are fine?

For my fam i think its the smell, or even just the idea of it that makes them pause. But cant argue with flavour!

“I put that sh*t on everything” lol.

      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.
