Meals yesterday- lunch was an Asian noodle bowl with kelp noodles, peanuts, bell peppers, and cucumber. A hot Water soak with a little baking soda is definitely the way to go.

Dinner- chicken fajitas

I get into "current addictions" too. Right now mine is airfried San Francisco style sourdough bread with jalapeno pepper jack cheese. I guess there is something in the real sourdough (probably the fermentation) that my body is craving. Probably more that it's delicious [emoji16]

That sounds wonderful! There's something real nice about having a comfort food while being restricted. I don't take it for granted now

Made wraps out of some stuff I had at home.

For lunch tomorrow:

dinner tonight:

And because I always overestimate what might fit into a wrap, the stuffing is part of dinner as well:

Excited to finally get to post on this thread. Today is the day I am making my first soft Protein meal. I’ve tested the waters with a bite of lobster yesterday and a spoon of ricotta Saturday but have otherwise been on Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids since my surgery two weeks ago.

I prepared a ricotta egg white omelette season with a pinch of salt, turmeric, and coriander.

It went down slowly, but successfully and I’m feeling full quickly. There is definitely a significant difference between consuming food vs full liquids.

Readjusting portions will certainly be a learning curve.

Vegan bruschetta w/hummus and cucumber- Before and After.

I made a much larger version for my mostly vegan child to show her it was a very quick meal (5 mins) because she only ever makes either a complicated Breakfast or nothing at all (but either way she’s annoyed 🙄)

BTW I’m eating off of a lid to tupperware because I’m in a stand-off with the child who is supposed to do dishes.

Airfried hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), after rinsing I salted it with Himalayan pink salt. The dip was a citrus, soy sauce, ginger mixture. I thought I was famished but I got full after the first few bites (what a let down). 11:00 am is far too early for me to eat anything. I usually eat about 2 pm. So I gave most of the delicious meat to the cats. They enjoyed it lol. Although I only ate a few bites, I counted the full hamachi calories (165 cal). It's so low in calories anyway. I also ate ounce of steamed rice (37 cal). For Snacks today, I will get my veggies and fruits in. 20221220_103001.jpg 20221220_104141~2.jpg

      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.
