Veggie burger. I air fried the veggie burger with garlic infused olive oil, and then after it was cooked, I put the sourdough with it till it was toasted. 138g in weight total. I would usually finish it but stopped early. I guess I shouldn't haven eaten a couple of slices of green apple a half hour earlier. 20221017_180440.jpg 20221017_181034.jpg Screenshot_20221017_182155.jpg

lunch was this huge salad- romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, danmuji, rotisserie chicken, smoked turkey sausage, croutons, and blueberries with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

And because I knew I wouldn’t be in the mood for dinner at dinner time I made my kids American goulash with smoked beef sausage instead of ground beef.

I, instead, had a glass of horchata with chocolate iced coffee Protein Powder mixed in.

And I’m not even sorry about it! 😂

I’ve always been taught that food is a gateway to cultures. Exploring different spice palates, recipes, and methods gives me such a bigger appreciation for those who eat those meals regularly.

The past few days have been a huge blur. I wish I’d taken more photos but I made the dessert bar goodies for a coworker’s wedding yesterday. You’ll just have to settle for these chocolate dipped pretzels and these pumpkin roll stacks.

When I dropped off the leftovers at work (per the bride’s request) one of the nurses asked me if I was a professional baker. 😂

      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.
