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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
