How are you settling in?

There's still so much to do but I finally have a grip on my food. I stopped tracking calories in the Carb Manager app late September since that was when we started moving and yesterday was the first day I began tracking again. Thankfully I haven't gained but I'm still not where I would like to be. I'm hoping to get to my goal weight by the end of 2021. Fingers crossed!

These are pretty good for homemade. I cannot detect a flavor or texture difference.

But since this flour is more expensive than I expected and now I'm nervous about alternative flours (after my coconut flour falls) I'm using it 1:1 with regular flour. I have not tried it alone yet.

If you decide to get it, please let me know what you think. I need backup.🤣

For lunch today I made some avocado toast on Keto bread and topped it with chunk light tuna. Just used fresh lemon juice and salt and pepper for the tuna. I was super hungry and made two but one did the job.

No I still have not bought one but I don't think this is one of those things that would work in an air fryer, its loose ingredients . can you make falafel or meat balls in an air fryer? If so maybe it would work...
Disclaimer: I pan fry foods, olive oil, grape seed oil, etc. I never intended to give that up, ever...
I have an air frier oven

Which brand? Do you like it?

Sorry to butt in here, but I just wanted to say that I love my air fryer! Buy one! It is honestly life-changing. I just made some amazing garlic parmesan carrot chips in the air fryer tonight. I used the air fryer a lot more before my surgery because it's really good for frozen fries and anything breaded, which I don't eat anymore, but it's also awesome for cooking meat (you can air-fry fantastic chicken wings without any oil), roasting veggies, reheating stuff, etc. You can definitely air-fry meatballs, and I've never made falafel, but Google shows tons of air fryer falafel recipes, so I'd say that's also a yes. I almost never use my toaster oven anymore because the air fryer does almost everything better. I have this one:

But I bought it a couple of years ago, so there are probably better ones on the market now.

Dinner: tuna pate on crackers with tomatoes, and a bit of arugula “salad.” I ate it all 😋

      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.
