I’ve been really bad about cooking lately, but I’m just back from vacation and did some meal prep. Baked sweet potato topped with ground Turkey with onion, garlic, Tomato paste, beef broth, peas, carrots, and mushrooms. From the Skinny Taste website.

Having grown up in Midwestern USA there are some things that are just inescapable- like tater tot casserole. It’s not as terrible as it sounds when it comes to most midwestern dishes. 😂

Weird salad addition alert- romaine, spicy peanuts, chicken thigh, mandarin orange, sesame ginger dressing, and… roasted red potatoes.

Went to a Peruvian/Japanese fusion rooftop restaurant yesterday for lunch. (Not the best day but interesting views over the city.) I wondered how the fusion would work but it did. Still very obvious Japanese or Peruvian foods but a sharing of some styles. Like a bao bun with a Peruvian filling. I can’t eat spicy foods so shared some edamame to begin & had parmesan & garlic scallops (sorry no pxts) & sesame crusted tuna. I about half the tuna, the two scallops & probably too many edamame 😁. All very yummy.

Hahaha one element of that mix has to go and because I'm Irish I'm suggesting the orange (never the potato!!) 😂

Strangely, I think you’re right. Next time the orange will be in the side.

5 years out from sleeve. Breakfast:) Avocado toast on focaccia with pickled onions, feta and red pepper flakes. Some salad topper pecans, pepitos and cranberries, tomatoes and cukes...and a mini glass of powerhouse super juice. Yum!

Lunch- cucumber sandwich with a parfait of yogurt, peaches, hemp seed, flax seed, raisins, and honey.

Dinner- as listed. A whole serving of chicken was 8oz and I knew I couldn’t eat it. The Indian chicken is seasoned with equal amounts cumin, dried ground coriander, turmeric, curry powder(not in recipe), garlic powder(not in recipe), and onion powder, then with salt, pepper, and 1.5tbsp olive oil to coat. I baked thin slices at 400F (200-205C) for about 18 minutes. The original recipe called for pan frying in more olive oil.

I love cucumber sandwiches @Starwarsandcupcakes. Soak the cucumber in balsamic vinegar & only on white bread. Would even pour some the vinegar on the bread for more of a zing. Very sad now. Damn bread but don’t think it’s worth the discomfort to eat it. Waah! 😩

Soft Proteins, yes.

I used my own recipe.

2 eggs
15oz part skim ricotta
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1tsp ground garlic
1tsp black pepper
Dash of basil
1tsp Italian seasoning
1tsp salt

Mix all these well.

Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons into each spot on a mini muffin baking pan that you’ve sprayed with Pam.

Sprinkle a touch of reduced fat mozzarella on top of each.

Bake 20 minutes at 375.

I’m thinking of making a bariatric cooking/recipe blog. I love cooking and being inventive and really want to stay within my approved foods. So it may be neat!

Please let us know if you have created that blog.. I'd be very interested

The first is leftover Indian inspired chicken, rice, and sautéed zucchini.

The second is a bowl of soy ginger chicken and broccoli and a bowl with cottage cheese, strawberries, and crushed graham crackers.

        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.

        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
