K, I know I eat alot of salad. I was all excited to eat this salad as I was making it that I sort of made it ginormous, and ate it out of the mixing bowl because it wouldn't fit in a regular salad bowl. The Kid asked me why I go nutso for salad of all things, and I told her because it's delicious and just feels CLEAN. Anyone know what I mean?

Anyhoo, as anticipated I didn't finish it....will eat the rest later.

YES! Am I yelling? Cuz it feels like I'm yelling!!!! LOL. I know EXACTLY how you feel!!! (I'm having salad tonight--super duper crunchy, crisp, and no heavy dressings--just my guilt free tangy zero cal dressing.)

I feel SO excellent after having one of these salads. I can eat a lot more than you of the salad...I think cuz it scrunches down maybe and is so wet from moist veggies? But we go to this super cheap neighborhood place that cooks everything from scratch. I could literally have anything I want--pasta, pizza, bread...and instead I get 1 of 3 things and 2 of them are salads or involve salad and the other is just the "chicken or shrimp" salad add-on and a side of their al dente veggies with garlic and super light on the oil. :) So think "steamed al dente."

I just am at the point where I prefer the clean food. Cuz every time I don't do that? I feel miserable after and usually have either nausea or RH, or swollen tummy and the dry heaves. Etc. :) Loves me some salad. But was always a salad girl.

Hello. Do you know me?

I have a bigger-than-average pouch/tool and can seriously pack a lot of calorie bang for the buck into every meal! So when I come across a portion size of a meal that I can't finish and I have to recalibrate quantities, I want to save it to my "Seriously Filling Good Meal" file! :) Cuz on the hungry hungry hippo days...well you know.

So here's my latest SFGM experience! I call this my Peanut Butter and Blueberry Chia Slop. :D I'm nicely full--even maybe 1 bite too many! And so will see if I'm ready to eat some more in a couple of hours. Already, I'm thinking that my afternoon "green soup" lunch might not happen cuz of being satisfied. Weird. Yesterday I couldn't get full and today, bam! Baybee! This has filled me and chilled me!

Sorry for the crappy photos and dirty bowl!

3oz Greek yogurt with a squirt of sugar free vanilla Torani Syrup. It was damn delicious!

Ha a tabbouleh craving. Made enough to feed an army. Put my hand in photo so you could get an idea how big the bowl is 😉. Sadly my hubby actually picked all the parsley out of his serving. He thought he liked tabbouleh 🙄 but, I guess not!

This is my new favorite dinner. Smoked lean pork tenderloin marinated overnight in Frontera Grill Carnita sauce. 1 thin mission corn tortilla, pico de Gallo, grilled pineapple and 3.5 oz of lean pork. Total 268 calories.

My husband adds Don Poncho cilantro lime crema (Costco) it is only 40 calories for 2 Tablespoons. I hate creamy stuff.

        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
