yesterday's smoked salmon avocado salad was so yum, i made another one...this time i added more stuff just cuz.

salmon, avocado, strawberries, dried cranberries, gouda, brocollini, and....pumpkin pie!! haha, it was the last slice leftover from (canadian) thanksgiving last week hahah...didn't end up eating any of it anyway (and none of the brocollini either for some reason), but ate maybe ½ of everything else.

704 calories for the plate...not gonna adjust for what i actually ate cuz im most likely gonna finish the rest later.

isnt it so colourful and pretty????

Was craving a fall comfort bake, and happened to come across some giant chinese Fuji apples at the grocery store and picked up one. Made some “healthier” apple crumble that I topped with Keto ice cream and it turned out sooooo good. The hubby and I shared this but he ate more than me.

I still have quite a bit of the apple filling left, might make this again tomorrow or make some pancakes with stewed apples on top.

lol great minds...(i.e., ice cream!)...it was another unusually warm day for this time of year around these parts, so i made Mr. take me out to get some. they were out of pistachio (my fave flavour) so we went to the grocery to buy a tub (and a box of sugar cones) instead. no Keto ice cream for me...this is the full fat-sugar-cream version, ha.

this likely will be the last picture of me standing upright today, i think...as i ate the entire thing and the anticipated dumping im about to experience will surely have me regret it in 3..2..1...

I wish I looked this cool holding an ice cream!! P.S. You don’t look a day over 30.

Regarding the Keto ice cream, unfortunately that’s all I had in my freezer and it is definitely not my first choice. But it was good nonetheless, I’ve had two tubs of it sitting in my freezer for way too long.

@ms.sss you absolutely must get a Ninja Creami. You can make your own delicious ice cream in whatever flavor you want, fat-free and sugar-free, with extra Protein if you like. I make pistachio all the time and it is delicious.

How I did (apologies for the non aesthetically pleasing photo).

I am such a foodie ...this looks so good! I'm from Texas and can't wait for crawfish season. I do a lot of seafood boils with crab legs, sausage, eggs etc! I make all my seafood Bari friendly. I miss drenching all my seafood in butter 😩😩

Yesterday’s lunch and dinner and today’s Breakfast.

Lunch- after pics of the salad and mini cannolis. I only ate 2 bites of Soup as lunch just wasn’t my jam.

Dinner- only grabbed an after of the salad but ate a small roll with about a tsp butter, 3/4 the steak, 4 bites of the underside of the chicken (it was dry and the sauce was gross), both carrots, 2 bites of asparagus (less than 1/2 a spear), and about 1/3 of the mashed potatoes underneath. I ate about 1/4 of the 2 Desserts offered because I split with a friend.

I also had some 1/3 cup street corn dip, 2 mini pita, half an eggroll filled with black Beans and corn, a mini eggroll, and 2tbsp hummus as a snack yesterday and chips with queso during bingo. I gave my alcoholic drink tickets to someone else because after half a glass of champagne I was done drinking alcohol.

Breakfast- coffee had half and half and I drank it all. Drank about 6oz of the milk but ate the yogurt and oatmeal.

I didn’t eat any of the mid-morning pastries offered today and the boxed lunch I picked was a roasted vegetable wrap with balsamic dressing, 4oz of potato salad, a cookie and I stopped and picked up green beans from the truck stop. I ate 1/4 cup of the green beans, 3/4 of the potato salad, pulled off about a 1/3 of the tortilla before eating the wrap and gave away the cookie.

I can’t wait to have surgery next week because within 1-3hrs of eating I’m in unbelievable pain. I can chug my Water like I could a few months ago for the same reason and I’m over it.

Thank youuuuuu. These are the compliments I live for and is especially appreciated since my boyfriend just said that I’m “either dressed to the nines or look like a hobo. There’s no in between.” He’s not wrong 😑

When you visit a village and don't realize it's completely shut down for the season. You go to the one restaurant that is open and eat the one dish they're serving

Veggie soup
Some type of ham luncheon loaf with a fried egg and Mac & cheese (with potatoes!)

      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.
