Does anyone know how Charles are reheated? Wondering if it is something I could prepare ahead of time and reheat for bfast during the week..

I’m not sure how they would reheat. I make little “egg bakes” that I make in the oven on the weekend and heat in the microwave for a minute during the week for Breakfast.

If you’re interested in doing that I just cook meat and sauté in some veggies then add that mixture to a muffin tin, top with some kinda shredded cheese and then pour in a mixture of egg and plain Greek yogurt with spices. Bake at 350 for 25-30 min.

Is that half of a mini waffle or half of an 8" waffle? Which chaffle recipe did you use? They look so beautiful!!! Yummy breakfast!

I made vanilla ones for Sunday brunch. Had them with sf maple Syrup and bacon and an egg and a couple bites of grits. So. So. So. Satisfying! And the payout for me is using the psyllium, I'm poopin' like a princess! :D It's a winner, winner, waffle dinner! :) Can't wait to try chocolate flavored then have peanut buttah on them! :D

It’s half of an 8” waffle. All he used was mozzarella cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Now that I know I like it we will experiment with more veggies that are on the drier side and spices! 😃

Oh the vanilla, and chocolate Peanut Butter ones sound wonderful!!

You should totally try the one from the Link I posted a couple pages back. Using the egg whites instead of whole egg + psyllium powder, plus part skim mozza. So damn good. Flavor them any way you want. Super low cal, low carb, lots of Protein + Fiber. And they really taste bread-ish. Not that metallic overcooked yolk taste from using the whole egg.

I actually feel guilty eating them, cuz it feels like I'm cheating...but so far, the psyllium is counteracting the cheese so regularity is staying the same and maintenance doesn't appear to be affected. :)

Went out to eat with the family yesterday. Ordered the fish Ceviche. Ate a little over 1/2 cup and a bite of the sweet potato. My brother also gave me a little piece of his roasted chicken to try.... I was stuffed. Its back to cooking today!

This one I actually ate! 😂

It is not the prettiest meal ever. Next time I'd use less enchilada sauce and/or not precook the quinoa

He's a lucky guy!

If he loves mushrooms, you might give this a try. Absolutely delicious and lots less work than stuffed mushrooms.

        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
