Green Mountain filets on a Mon Village Brötchen chili cheeze style.

Marzipanschleife because I couldn't resist. Hadn't one of these in maybe over two years or so. They don't have them everyday, are often sold out already and in summer they don't sell them at all for whatever reason. Today I saw this one with a truckload of chocolate on it.

I buy these kind of goodies not that often - prices have become ridiculous for baked goods in Germany and I'm simply not willing to pay this kind of money. Whole wheat and/or organic breads and rolls were always kind of expensive and the prices have only gone up slightly compared to the non-organic baked goods but things like cakes and pastries have become ridiculously expensive so this feels like a special treat. They're rather big though.

Incidentally we are fighting unreasonable egg prices in my area. I’d rather not eat/use eggs anymore.
The Marzipanschleife looks really good? Is that dark chocolate?

brunch:

crackers and avocado (with salt, pepper & splash of lemon juice): 421 cals for bowl.

Didn't feel like eating the rest later (oxidized avocado is just unappealing!) so tossed in trash.

That's dark chocolate, yes. Or I guess it's something we call "Kuvertüre", baking chocolate.

Not sure about egg prices as I don't buy eggs. Many people complain about butter having become very expensive. Also cheese.

Mini tasting menu Japanese lunch.

I had a taste (about a teaspoons worth) of everything, except the Chawanmushi (which i ate in its entirety) plus a miso Soup with clams that i didn't take a pic of.

For perspective, each bowl is about the size of a tennis ball.

Est 355 calories for what i ate...mr. ate the rest.

Clockwise from top: spicy salmon sashimi & avocado on sushi rice; braised beef tongue and tamago (japanese style rolled omelette); Chawanmushi (savory steamed egg custard with shrimp and mushrooms), squid, Ikura (salmon roe) and a quail egg on sushi rice); seaweed salad in the middle.

I didn’t even know you could order just a side of beans!

I thought the tamago was cornbread! And I ❤️ seaweed salad.

Burger and fries for dinner. Ate mine with mushrooms, onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, stone ground mustard, mayo, spinach and tomatoes. The seasoned fries were meh so I’m glad I only ate a few. Calories are including a full serving of fries though. And then one of my full days calories.

Also Breakfast was an Atkins chai Protein Shake and some buffalo flavored combos.

      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.
