I ended up making the French toast a few days ago. I used the Aldi zero carb bread and of course whipped cream because this was essentially dessert

I made cheddar biscuits or Buns with the Carbquik flour. I used 80% carbquik & 20% regular flour because in still nervous about using alternative flours now 😔

No noticeable difference to me

And these are regular cheddar biscuits. They look and feel the same, but I haven’t tried the regular ones so idk about the flavor

Haha...totally planning this as my first Carbquick experience. Have the recipe printed. Just haven’t had time to make the yet. I will be using all Carbquick when I make them. I will let you know how they come out. 😬

No, it just has a smoked flavor from smoked paprika being one of the major spices.

So I have pretty much been doing nothing but Meal Replacement again since November, so no fun dinner experiments to be found. Decided today I needed something after a kind of confusing cardio consult brought on my my syncope incident Sunday night. They checked my blood pressure and it was 85/52, which is obviously ridiculously low. So, they are treating me for low blood pressure (even though I have NEVER had low blood pressure any of the times it has been measured post-op). My options were to try medication that would bring my BP up...or to increase my Sodium intake.

I opted to try the dietary route (since next week I finally start post-op work with the nutritionist so I'll be moving towards normal foods) because I don't want to contend with medication side effects unless absolutely necessary. Granted, I also don't want to lose consciousness and bounce my head off the floor again either.

So tonight I made myself a Mexican pizza. Taco seasoned ground chicken, taco sauce, and some shredded Mexican 4-cheese blend on a Protein Pizza shell. I should have put the pizza shell in the air fryer for a few minutes on it's own to crisp it up a bit better, but it came out pretty yummy and I am happy with my little culinary treat.

Sometimes I eat weird sh*t. Usually its because there is nothing else to eat, but sometimes, I am actually WANTING weird sh*t.

Case in point: todays lunch: shiratake noodles, a can of smoked oysters, 3 anchovy fillets, crumbled feta cheese, a pinch of candied ginger & BBQ sauce: 260 calories.

Ate it all.

No, I'm not pregnant.

Here's something a little more normal, lol:

I have turned into an avid bread baker lately and bake a loaf (or batch) 1-2 times a week. (Have also started eating bread since my bread is AWESOME)

I don't usually eat in the mornings, but the aroma from this morning's bake was calling to me.

36g of homemade onion bread (yes, i weighed it!) + 1/2 tsp butter: approx 150 calories

A whole days worth of food (today)

Breakfast/Lunch: Scrambled eggs and linguica again but this time with some oranges and avocado.

Dinner: Thin crust Alfredo, bacon, onion, spinach and diced Tomato pizza w/ a side of kimchi. Weird food combo indeed but I highly enjoyed eating the rest of it out of a jar while I watched the movie Greenland lol

Snack: 1 mango w/ fat free whip cream

My version of Carbquick cheddar bay biscuits. They are decent. My hubby is eating low carb right now, and he loved them.😊

      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.
