case in point. this was "dinner" - slash - movie Snacks a couple days ago cuz we were both too lazy and not very hungry at the same time: a suacer of random candies from the pantry:

clockwise from top: polvoron, reeces peices, trader joes chocolate covered espresso Beans, mini reeces Peanut Butter cup, a ferraro roche, and candied pumpkin seeds.

dont judge us!

shared it with Mr. over a couple hours watching "Asteroid City". Aside: thumbs up for the movie from him, thumbs "meh" from me. but he always likes the kooky movies lol.

No judgement here! I realized that sometimes if I have to cook I’d rather not eat 🤡

Also I’ll take your side on Asteroid City (having never seen it 😂) I hate all Wes Anderson films, except The Squid and The Whale.

I'm a fan of konjac noodles. This is very tasty. I use it as a base and added some veggies. For the Soup, 30 calories total. I ate it all. The kimchi flavor was my favorite but the Miso and Tomato was good too. 20231128_133655.thumb.jpg.c0a3e9a1bb70e1221c309f94195660bd.jpg

I’ve been eating a lot of eggs lately. The pancakes I ate half a stack (kid and I split them to try) and didn’t eat the other half and sent home with the kid. 😂 Also, these fryums from the Indian grocery are a new addiction by air frying at 400 for 3 minutes.

I rarely ever finish a meal in one sitting and it usually I either graze on it or eat it the next meal. However I am 2yrs out from revisions (one lifesaving) and can eat 2 scrambled eggs and half an English muffin for a meal most of the time.

Christmas drinks cooking yesterday. This time Brie bites. Easy to make & yummy. Quarter teaspoon grain mustard, piece of Brie, 1/2 teaspoon cranberry sauce in puff pastry, bake then sprinkle with some pieces of grilled prosciutto.

Went to what is supposed to be this excellent restaurant last week. Been wanting to go for a while but thought they only had a degustation menu & recently discovered they did have a la carte. Chose John Dory fillet with beurre blanc sauce split with wasabi leaf oil & asparagus. Started off okay but am still looking for the asparagus - extremely finely diced & barely a teaspoon. Then the third slice of the fillet was super salty & couldn’t eat it. So disappointed. My friends enjoyed their meals so at least there was that. Oh & it cost $58 (about $39 US). Crazy prices here now. Last year it would have been 10-15 Aust $ less.

Raspberry Chia oatmeal- (not my portion but it was pretty). I eat oatmeal maybe once a year.

Also Steak fries w/ketchup and BBQ Sauce. I eat potatoes at least once a month. Anyone else still eating these carbs regularly?

I eat porridge a bit, especially now I'm in maintenance. Potatoes almost never but if I have to, then skin ON. They were an absolute staple before surgery (I'm Irish) but I approach them with real caution now. White carby things (bread, rice, Pasta, potatoes) don't contain enough goodness to tempt me any more. If I do eat them it's wholegrain/brown/skin on versions and in small portions after I've had something properly nutritious.

*Obviously other than during the holiday season when I loosen up a bit without guilt*

I like the thought of eating porridge better than actually eating it. I am always disappointed when I retry it. It just sits like a heavy alien in my stomach all day. I think this would be very useful if I need to loose some weight again. Two small bowls of it and I would be ok all day.

I have never been a potato person. I much preferred rice, noodles or Pasta. To me potatoes need lots of butter to make them edible, luckily that would make me get the foamies.

      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.
