Food Before and After Photos

Just some random foods from between the 26th and my birthday (today)-

Some weird creamed spinach and (fake) chicken dish, broccoli slaw (with cranberries and walnuts), bbq pork, hard boiled egg, a turmeric (fake) chicken and spaghetti squash Soup, a vegetarian taco bake with vegetarian beef crumbles and vegan cheese and sour cream, and a Christmas sprinkle and chocolate chip cake (kids liked it… I though I would but would rather have more tea or coffee instead.)

There is loads I forgot to take pictures of but 🤷‍♀️

This is so simple, yet so ingenious at the same time! Adding this to my meal routine!

Defrosted one of my frozen meals last night. Truely a mystery meal. Couldn’t remember what it was & hadn’t written on the bag. Turned out to be ginger pork tenderloin stir fry. Looks a bit sad but was zingy with ginger. Looks more but it was about 1.5 cups which I ate over an hour.

From the photo it certainly doesn't look more than 1.5 cups, I would say less than a cup even 0.75 cup, but it does look like something I would enjoy eating

Welcome back @MarvelGirl25. Hope you have been keeping well. And happy birthday @Starwarsandcupcakes.

Have to take a plate to a small New Year’s gathering at a friend’s tonight. Decided to make sausage rolls. Cheated & used bought puff pastry. Wouldn’t get a handshake from Paul Hollywood but they look pretty good for my first attempt. Hope they taste as good too 😉🤞🏻.

I finally finished going through the 58 pages of deliciousness I missed and all I can say is WOW 😋 everything looked sooo good! I have pork skewers, an iced skinny chai latte, salads, chilis, sushi, tofu, steak bites, and lots more stuck in my head.

Here are a few dishes I made while I been away:

  • First 3 pics are from the summer when we had a cookout. I made rice, chicken wings, a rack of ribs, bbq pork, steak, hot dogs, and two types of macaroni salad with tuna and smoked ham. I still mostly stick to eating just meat and make regular sides for everyone else. (1st pic is fiancés plate)
  • Pan seared salmon salad (my plate and this was an all day meal)
  • Veggie and cheese omelet (my plate and something like this typically gets me full until dinner but I'm picking at it all day)
  • Ground turkey veggie wraps (my plate and remember I finished it all - lighter than what it looks).
  • oatmeal banana pancakes with sugar free Syrup (my plate and get me full until dinner).
  • Shrimp and squash salad and I believe I used trader joes green goddess dressing for this (my plate).
  • chocolate covered berries I made for a party. Colorful ones were for the kiddies and the bottom for the adults. I covered the bottom ones with coconut, choco chips, and walnuts.

Batch two:

  • First two pics is lomo saltado - Peruvian steak stir fry (fiancés plate)
  • The other three are from a second cook out I had where I made carne asada tacos with a homemade tomatillo sauce, avocado sauce, and not in the pic but a red guajillo sauce. Also in the pic is cotija cheese and crema mexicana.

I have more pics but I'll leave it at this lol I've also went to a few AMAZING restaurant while I've been away but as usual I'm still always asked if I even liked the food because I can barely fit anything in.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Starwarsandcupcakes!!!! ❤️

It is so simple that I contemplated even posting these because I barely did anything to them. The chicken could have cooked itself honestly 😂.

I don’t know how anyone else is doing but I became so burnt out on cooking that everything I do has to be very simple or I can’t be bothered (with the exception of my fat too ornate pies 😩)

Looks delicious!!
What brand SF BBQ Sauce? I tried the Sweet Baby Rays bc that’s the only one I have found in our grocery store. But I didn’t like it. Told my husband I’d rather use less or nothing at all. I want to try other brands and see if I like another brand.
Other SF items I like a lot. Like Syrup. Mrs Buttersworth. Love it. Tastes the same to me as the regular.
Anyways your tenders look sooo good!!

      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.
